[HELP NEEDED] Is there any literature assessing whether economists' epistemological preference over structural vs reduced-form methods is gendered?
Thanks

As I learned about the passing of Roger Guesnerie this morning, I came across a reference written by Leonid Hurwicz in support of Guesnerie's application for a position of Directeur d'étude at the EHESS in 1978. K Arrow also wrote in support. Guesnerie was elected to a position the following year

Historians colleagues who (still) have essay-writing based courses, who supervise master and PhD students, how do you discuss the use of generative AI for research and writing with them (sources, do/don't, etc)?

OMG so much fun; makes up for all the scares when teaching them how to drive, the worries over uni choice, tuition fees, global warming and war prospects. This generation is cynical but also witty, creative, untamed and unbroken. Listening to them gives hope.

Here to tell you than in 5 years, when you parent a mix of young adults and teenagers in a chaotic world, you'll feel more like the owner of a comedy club. All you have to do is lots of scheduling and cooking. Then showtime, grab popcorn, sit back and enjoy the conversations between them over dinner

Thank you for the support! The good thing with December, the lack of light, the job market and ppl becoming unfiltered is that, at that point, I don't give a shit about anything anymore. Zen is just over-exhaustion, in the end

If you think you're alone in experiencing a brain-eating December, I just took a train the wrong way, then another one to return to initial station
I realized it was actually the right way, only had I forgotten the name of the next station
The next train has just been canceled

First, I very much enjoyed Steven's intro -- I wish every scholar could deserve -- and receive! -- such a thoughtful eulogy. The fact that he is seen as an inspiration for younger scholars makes me proud of the discipline of economics.

...computational economists like Juillard have been largely absent from the stories macros—and econs generally—tell themselves about their past. So this is a step towards a richer & fact-based history of macro that covers diversity of models, practices, skills, sites, intellectual & social goals
