Today econometrics.blog got a long-overdue update from blogdown to Quarto. Thanks to Claude Code, the transition was seamless: all existing links are preserved, along with the Utterances comment sections.

During the upgrade I also corrected an embarrassingly large number of typos across the site and added privacy-respecting site analytics using GoatCounter. To find out whether econometrics has gone viral at long last, check out the public dashboard. Where possible, references to the econometrics literature now point to a paper’s IDEAS/RePEc entry, where you can find citation information, a link to the journal website, and any freely-available working paper versions.

I hope you enjoy the new look. If you notice anything that’s not working properly, please let me know by submitting a GitHub issue.
