We work through a simple example with one explanatory variable. Starting with the sum of squared residuals, we derive the slope coefficient of the regression line. It is useful to standardise variables by subtracting their mean to remove the need for a constant term.

We ask ChatGPT to evaluate one of my (many) unsuccessful research papers. Why did it fail?
ChatGPT provides a detailed analysis based on Prof Alex Edmans' paper "Learnings From 1000 Rejections." Is this a useful tool for your research? Thanks to Prof Jukka Sihvonen for sharing the template on LinkedIn.
Computer says: NO!
ChatGPT: Is my paper ready for submission?

Why are UK universities struggling? We explore data from HESA and the Home Office, focusing on student numbers, the alleged impact of BREXIT, and changes to visa rules. Non-EU students have contributed substantially to past growth. Is this growth sustainable? Have operating costs increased?

🌍 What is Populism? 🌍
In our latest video, we explore early theories of populism, going back to the 1950s! Shils (1954) made one of the first attempts to define populism, which is tricky since it doesn’t quite fit into a specific ideology. This definition is essential for understanding how much populism is present in political movements and why it matters for studies linking it to economic and social impacts.

We explore illegal immigration in the US, which has been a significant issue during the campaign. Media coverage suggests that illegal immigration is out of control - but what do the data tell us? Is Trump's deportation plan impossible? Again, let's check the data. Data - not feelings. The results will shock you.

Let's review predictions after the election. Honestly, the polls are too tight to make any reasonable prediction. The margin of error is about +/- 3% for a 95% confidence interval. Put differently, you must see a 3% lead to be reasonably confident. Based on the latest polls, Donald Trump leads in North Carolina (+1%) Arizona (+1%,), Georgia (+1%) and Nevada (+1%,). Kamala Harris leads in Wisconsin (+1%), and Michigan and Pennsylvania are tied. Data - not feelings ... but only one poll matters.
