Milton's official IG. Despite being nominated for a Grammy alongside Esperanza Spalding, they arranged him a seat in the upper rows, which would require him to go up and down a number of stairs. Milton Nascimento is an 82-year-old world music legend who's somewhat frail in health.

Our article about the role of legal scholars in counter-populism is now available at ICON. It might have some takeaways for the US now.

Bottom line: legal scholars are uniquely positioned to expose untruths about law/institutions, which often form the core of the populist argument.

The economics of "non-smooth" disruptions in networks (of production, trade, finance, etc.) is relatively new and embarrassingly underdeveloped.

This survey is a starting point for those who are interested.

J.P. Morgan econs on Trump’s latest are “increasingly concerned that the policy mix may tilt into an unintentionally far less business-friendly stance. The sustained 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico set to start this weekend is materially different than the tariff increases built into our baseline.”

"Denial of a wanted abortion has both immediate and lasting effects. It increases a woman’s risk of death by 2.5 p.p within nine months, mainly due to unsafe abortion procedures, and raises the likelihood of carrying the pregnancy to term by 31 p.p. "

The 1906 San Francisco Fire was one of the largest urban fires in American history.

@hannaschwank.bsky.social's excellent paper on its long-run consequences has sadly become very timely.

Luckily we have learned some lessons (e.g. insurance more common), still an invaluable piece of research.
Abstract. Natural disasters are growing in frequency globally. Understanding how vulnerable populations respond to these disasters is essential for effective policy response. This paper explores the short- and long-run consequences of the 1906 San Francisco Fire, one of the largest urban fires in American history. Using linked Census records, I follow residents of San Francisco and their children from 1900 to 1940. Historical records suggest that exogenous factors such as wind and the availability of water determined where the fire stopped. I implement a spatial regression discontinuity design across the boundary of the razed area to identify the effect of the fire on those who lost their home to it. I find that in the short run, the fire displaced affected residents, forced them into lower paying occupations and out of entrepreneurship. Experiencing the disaster disrupted children’s school attendance and led to an average loss of six months of education. While most effects attenuated over time, the negative effect on business ownership persists even in 1940, 34 years after the fire. Therefore, my findings reject the hope for a “reversal of fortune” for the victims, in contrast to what is found for more recent natural disasters such as hurricane Katrina.
