Matt Darling 🌐🏗️ Fun conservative “nut-picking” exercise is to find a moment where forecasters got unemployment rate predictions wrong and then use it to discredit economists’ answers on basic questions like “will lowering taxes raise the deficit”, “will raising tariffs increase prices” etc

"Floods", by Dev Patel, is one of the more astounding Big Data econ papers I have ever seen. Machine learning can be used on satellite data to essentially do magic. How damaging are floods? How much do they affect human capital attainment? A thread on the paper 1/

Fun fact but "children who grow up in homes with few books do worse in school, so we should give them more books" is quite literally the textbook example of a confounding variable (how much the *parents* value learning and education)

Whether free transit will work is irrelevant, this has always been about winning messages for elections, and candidates that strengthen transit. Most roads are already free, why not MESSAGE that transit should be accessible to everyone, but with clearer political language.

Cremieux the "race scientist" has been stealing my newsletter's chart style—I DMed him to stop because I don't want to be associated with him, even incidentally, & now he's crashing out on main about it, posting the "theme_politano" he copied & telling others to take credit

One of the trickiest open questions in healthcare econ: -What is the average hospital's Marginal Revenue Product from a new resident? (paid <$100k, less than a traveling nurse) -If the MRP of a resident exceeds their wage, why don't hospitals self-fund more residency slots?

¿Qué pasará cuando municipio X ordene apagar una antena por falta de pago y, por desconocimiento de cómo funciona una red, deje sin servicio a municipios aledaños sobre todo rurales? Hay cosas que no deben "municipalizarse". Diría yo que las regulaciones sobre servicios
