We are happy to share that our paper with Adam Pigon (Warsaw School of Economics and the National Bank of Poland) has been published in the Journal of Industrial Economics. Our paper is a detailed analysis of the Polish highway construction program that has been running since 2005.

Most people in their 30s-40s consider themselves young although this age group was labeled as middle aged decades back. Is this about slower ageing? Maybe not. The increase in median age has never been this fast. A 35yo was above median in the 1980s and well below it today in developed countries!

I guess you have a lot of questions about tariffs, vaccines, and credibility. How about taking a break and reading a book that gets only better and more relevant with time?

A proposed bill in the US would allow AI to be classified as a "practitioner licensed by law" to prescribe certain FDA-approved drugs (section 503(b) of FFDCA). Although it's still several steps away from implementation, it's a significant milestone.

I agree. I don’t think we should endorse that they recruit people from abroad. Several HSE faculty endorsed the invasion, it is not a victim of external circumstances.
Surprised & disappointed that econjobmarket.org posts ads from Russian institutions, such as HSE in Moscow which officially supported Russian invasion of Ukraine & gives discounts to Russian veterans, who engaged in this unlawful invasion!
