Ethnic diversity has a large effect on reducing the number of large firms. This is partly because large firms, involving strangers instead of family members, rely on interpersonal trust. And ethnic diversity erodes trust. Large firms are very important for strong economies.

New post out about fertility I briefly describe differences between fertility measures but, more importantly, I construct a set of forecasted cohort fertility rates. Cohort fertility normally lags much behind period measures, but with these estimates they are more up-to-date.

The law is unusually clear on this topic: The president cannot raise broad tariffs by executive order. This ruling from the court is essentially a longer version of the arguments I described in this post from April. Major questions doctrine, and everything. It's easy to predict
