   Hey Chris we know your ego can’t stand it that you’re completely ignored by anyone who matters. You can go back to your Kangarootard convict island prison now

   the section on aggregation in their recent note is quite a joke. they are quick to ridicule others, but do not address the obvious mistake of weighting by sales rather then costs. if you weigh by cost and compare the resulting correct aggregate markup (*) to the time series on the labor share, it looks a lot less convincing. weighting by the numerator instead of the denominator is even more basic than ECON101.
   * even that is a stretch b/c public companies are a selected sample, and the selection is not constant over time
   

   ^ sounds like JDL.
   I'm not Chris, and their point is so obvious that I don't give them credit for it.

   Shut up james.

   finance guy here. have no idea what you're talking about. but that initial footnote from De Loecker and Eckhout was juvenile, vicious, and simply outrageous. they should be held accountable for that.

   You know it’s bad when finance guys accuse you of being juvenile and vicious (which is what JdL actually is)

   De Loecker and Eckhout are well known in the field for cooking results.

   The econometric society should be very proud of having a bully like De Loecker as a fellow. Now is time to add Eckhout.

    "sounds like Econ 101". What a rude way to dismiss anyone's research. Rather than have a constructive conversation and make the grad student learn something, they bash him and discourage him psychologically to go back to study Econ 101????

    Sounds like Lambertini threatening grad students to talk to their advisor or dean before discussing any of her papers.

    It's worst than that. JDL was wrong.

    I agree. At the very least, the issue is blurry and JDL is wrong as well, strictly speaking. They say you can't lump together COGS and SGA and treat them as a single input factor. Sure. But even COGS is an aggregate of wildly different input factors. It seems to me that you might as well apply this critique to their own approach.
