Projections of future mortality risk in older adults from high-tide flooding in coastal areas of the USA: an economic modelling study

The cost of premature mortality in older adults is greater in magnitude than other modelled effects of climate-induced high-tide flooding (eg, value of lost time due to traffic delays). Results sugges...

Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name.

"These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."

NYC Council passes law that would require landlords to provide cooling systems capable of maintaining 78°F "in rooms in which tenants sleep, upon the request of the tenant."

Cooling season would run from June 15 - September 15. Bill is currently on Mayor's desk waiting to be signed. (1/2)

Valerie Mueller @valmuellerasu.bsky.social · 7d

If this is true, we need to be checking our google scholar pages all the time for fake articles being listed there. Soon the metrics used to evaluate us by universities will be tarnished, not that I was thrilled about their use before.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Pierre-Louis Vezina, Cevat Giray Aksoy, and Piotr Lewandowski show that, far from displacing local businesses, Ukrainian refugees in Poland sparked an entrepreneurial boom as they inspired Polish entrepreneurs and created new supply chain opportunities.

#EconSky

Figure shows the number of firms registered with Ukrainian owners. Data from the National Court Register (KRS) and Central Register and Information on Business Activity (CEIDG).

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, over a million Ukrainian refugees fled to Poland. This column shows that far from displacing local businesses, these refugees sparked an entrepreneurial boom. Ukrainians started nearly 39,000 firms in just two years. In addition, every 10% increase in Ukrainian firm registrations triggered a 2.3% rise in Polish entrepreneurship. Survey data reveal two mechanisms driving this multiplier effect: Ukrainian businesses inspired Polish entrepreneurs to launch similar ventures, and Ukrainian firms created new supply chain opportunities with local partners.

My oldest got whooping cough at 6 weeks from my husband’s relative in 2007. He was hospitalized for 2 weeks and was choking and turning purple. He survived but I would not wish any parent go through that, which means all of us including babies need to keep this vaccine up to date.

Here is the percentage of white males age 30-39 working in professional, technical, and managerial jobs between 1850 and 2024. The current generation has not been squeezed out of such jobs. If there is any lost generation here, I would say it is boomers who were 30-39 in 1990. (@ipums.bsky.social)

Last night we watched the new Knives Out movie.

My take: I like the hot priest. Where have I seen him? Oh that steamy tennis movie.

My husband: This movie is not accurate of the Catholic Church. Priests don’t give homilies from the podium since Vatican II.
