Profession news! I would like to thank Sebastian Tello-Trillo, Lorissa, Gary Hoover, CSMGEP, American Society of Hispanic Economists, and others that may have written letters for me. “Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.”

This made my day, its a recording of (some of) the 1977 Econometric Society presidential address given by Lionel McKenzie. The history he knows via his association with Morgenstern is amazing. So is just hearing him talk about theory, as he always did. youtube.com/watch?v=5wklom…

Good post. “Competitive Process” is a slogan, not a standard – like “free markets.” People of widely different views state it. Justice Harlan used it to attack the per se rule against maximum RPM, while Justice Stevens used it to defend the same rule. Not much of a standard

I always was intrigued by ABMs before Prof. April Franco Ph.D. (she/ella, her/ella,su) used a magic the gathering card as her final slide at her #druid22 debate critiquing their utility so I guess I have to support the motion against ABMs now.

I too am so shocked and so sad to see Berthold go. What a loss to our profession. He is supposed to present at the NBER Econ growth in a few minutes… My deepest condolences to everyone who was close to him.

Really neat finding! If home country has big child penalty then immigrants to US also have big child penalty If home country has small child penalty then immigrants to US also have small child penalty

Today was possibly my worst Uber ride. Not unsafe but driver had no idea where he was or how to get to Toronto Pearson. Had to tell him to make 2 U turns to get on Allen expressway. Said "I'm following app." I can see app, so no. I put bags in & out of trunk & he watched.

Kid running around the #airport yelling "Dad I need your help getting cannons." Fortunately he is past #security. Could have a little to do with the multiple delays for flight. It's like Air Canada is trying to prove Zeno's paradox with several delay announcements.

Very proud of Yvette Huet (ella, she, her) whose brilliance is recognized by UNC Charlotte. Full disclosure I've know her forever (mi prima hermana). I'm sure she will do amazing things in her new role. inside.charlotte.edu/news-features/…

Yesterday was a great day because my NYU Stern Economics colleague Chris Conlon was promoted to tenure. Psyched for the department, school and for our students at Stern & NYU Economics Department . So happy to have Chris around!
