Devastating news. Kate was a great economist and a generous person.
The brilliant Kate Ho has passed away.
She was an amazing economist and a genuinely kind human being. Her work shaped how we think about healthcare markets and her generosity touched everyone lucky enough to know her.
The profession and the world are poorer without her.

Goal for the next six months: dive into the debate on identification of demand elasticities in finance. Feels like asset pricing is rehashing debates from IO twenty years ago? But that’s good because it’s an important debate! @steveberry.bsky.social

In Sweden, corporate acquisitions lead to persistent earnings losses for workers.
Wages fall, some workers are displaced, and the gains largely go to acquiring CEOs and shareholders.
Employment and revenue stay flat. Profit rises because value is extracted from workers.

Summers conferred with Epstein frequently about how to extract sexual favors from a Harvard econ grad (AB '04, PhD '09)

jmp pitch for the brave: how well does presence of faculty in this dataset predict university *jmr IP shares
I assume someone must be gearing up for a dissertation where they do some sort of social network analysis of higher ed people in these emails. Because yes, the trustees, upper-level admin, and very fancy full professors all feel like possibilities.

Never thought of using classes. As Director of Undergraduate Studies, I had a lonely-hearts advice practice for young men (True rumor circulated that I had married before graduation.) Most common and most obvious advice: "Have you considered asking her out?"
Coupling this, fertility that.
Why don't you academics actually do something about it?!? 😂

Beautiful article on Ali Riley who has retired after an amazing career in soccer.
(If her last name sounds familiar to you as an economist, then that's no surprise. She's the daughter of UCLA auction theorist John Riley.)

this is cool. emily wilson's (controversial!!) 'complicated' is her shot at 'πολύτροπος,' which is like literally 'many-turning' and therefore almost completely untranslatable as a personal descriptor
Hades II is amazing. There are nods to both Lattimore's and Wilson's Odyssey translations.
Lattimore: “Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways…”
Wilson: “Tell me about a complicated man…”
Hades II: “Some know him as the man of many ways; certainly he is a complicated one.”
