Let's talk about the PPML estimator specifically.
What do you see as the areas in which PPML can be improved upon (less-than-desirable properties, other drawbacks) in this context, if any?

I'm curious if you've ever encountered the following scenario:
You suspect that an issue that has been highlighted in the wider econometric literature is present in your data, but you don't feel comfortable trying to address it due to technical limitations - either a lack of a feasible method or lack of certainty about the validity of the results.
Has anything like this happened to you? What was it you were looking to do and what were the technical obstacles?
No responses yet for this question.
Do you have any other suggestions for problems or challenges related to the estimation of gravity models that you'd like to see addressed in the future?
