If you’re reading this, Mum, congratulations on finally figuring out how to use the internet! Now that you’re here, let me tell you how much I appreciate all the times you’ve supported me, even when I was convinced that my love of econometrics was just a phase (spoiler alert: it wasn’t). You’ve always been there to listen to me ramble on about standard deviations and p-values, even when I know you had no idea what I was talking about.
