Anonymous referee: "This is an interesting paper on a neat topic. The idea of game theoretically modeling moral agency as involving endogenous choice of a utility function as well as a strategy is novel and promises to provide a platform for exciting new research in a field where that's hard to do."

Journals should create a category like “accepted, but not in print.”
Editors can still prioritize “significant” findings for readers while also giving authors of carefully researched null results a citable, CV-worthy publication.
This might reduce incentives to fudge data, p-hack, etc.

Anyone have a relatively easy to use (already created, cleaned, etc.) dataset on high speed rail that one of my Econometrics students could use for their final empirical project? Would be used for class only. #EconTwitter #EconSky

I'm considering adopting this tool, and your examples would be good to share with students to warn them of pitfalls. For me, one major benefit would be finding out what kinds of questions students are asking the platform.
Decided to try this out, and had an interesting response to my first question 1/3
Super excited to publicly launch "All Day TA" (http://www.alldayta.com), a product @joshgans.bsky.social and I have been working on with our team over the last year. Short version: if you teach in spring, you will want to use this! It's the future of higher education. A short thread: 1/x

Obvious but worth repeating:
Stock prices are, roughly, ONLY the sum of an appropriately discounted stream of expected future dividends. So, if tariffs (a regressive tax) are coupled with corporate tax cuts, stock prices could increase while economic conditions worsen for most consumers.

On the one hand, I knew Twitter was breaking when my whole feed was the menswear guy who I wasn't following. On the other hand, the first thing I did here was follow the menswear guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social.

Ruskin Bond: "And after all the wars are over, a butterfly will remain as beautiful"
This is a quote I read "in the wild," in one of Bond's delightful tales. I don't recall the book, I don't recall the context, I'm not even sure of the exact phrasing, but it's a sentiment I'll never forget.
