Why are some countries richer than others? Ask the Nobel economists ift.tt/Pvo02lz

I had a great conversation with Soumaya Keynes & Jared Rubin about the impact of Daron Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson's recent Nobel ft.com/content/08b52b…

#NobelPrize2024 in Economics to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and Jim Robinson. Want to know more about their far far far-reaching impact? Have a look at the breadth of work summarized in this CEPR VoxEU E-book. Stelios & I edited some years ago cepr.org/voxeu/columns/…

Excellent conversation on Jared Rubin's new book "How the World Became Rich" which presents an insightful approach to the factors leading to differing economic growth patterns. Religion & culture can both stimulate & restrain economic growth depending on specific circumstances.

Applications due Friday! Join us in Arlington. It should be amazing (as usual)

#Religion matters for economic growth - how, when & where it matters is context-specific, but economists disregard it at their peril, @essobecker Jared Rubin Ludger Woessmann VoxEU cepr.org/voxeu/columns/…

A thought-provoking piece by Debin Ma and Jared Rubin! The ideological roots of technological transformation: Meiji Japan versus Imperial China cepr.org/voxeu/columns/… a través de CEPR

This is very interesting!!

What underlies differences in cultural diversity across societies? The out-of-Africa migration. Societies whose ancestors migrated farther from Africa show lower diversity in music, folklore, and social norms, values & attitudes. ideas.repec.org/p/iza/izadps/d…  #econtwitter (1/4)

Ideological factors shaped the divergent outcomes of Meiji Japan and Imperial China. Japan had a society able to withstand political & social change which accompanied the technological transformation in the period. Debin Ma University of Oxford, Jared Rubin ow.ly/Yi3k50U8Vkh

This should be incredible! Join us at ASSA 2025 in San Francisco!!

See you at the ASSA 2025 meetings in San Francisco in our Political Economy of Global Religions session with Saumitra Jha Jared Rubin Nathan Nunn Jonathan Weigel Chicheng Ma Yujing Huang

Join us tomorrow (Sunday) morning bright and early for what should be an amazing session!

If you want to understand economic development, those older books are not the best place to start (though they were brilliant in their time, and worth reading for multiple reasons) Instead, read Gerschenkron's student Deirdre Nansen McCloskey, and Mark Koyama & Jared Rubin

Jeremy Horpedahl 🥚📉 Deirdre Nansen McCloskey Mark Koyama Jared Rubin I can't endorse the Koyama and Crubin "How the World Became Rich" enough. I read it this year. Very concise, yet very thorough. I'm amazed at the advances in the past 20 yrs in digitization and empirical testing for historical questions.

Why did Homo sapiens become rich? Economists generally leave it to historians, and to a relatively small handful of them at that, to ponder such an important question. Maybe they need us non-historians to mix things up for them. doi.org/10.1016/j.euro… Jared Rubin Mark Koyama
