Question at Radio Cambridgestan:
“Is it true that my proof lacks elegance?”
Answer:

Brilliant idea, explained simply. Will definitely read the paper and think about how to use it in my work.
I am on the job market, which seems like a great opportunity for my first post on here! My job market paper is about failures of contingent thinking -- the act of reasoning about hypothetical events. 1/

Yes, please!
A small but non-trivial hill I am willing to die on:
The abstract of every empirical paper should include the core empirical findings--numbers included!
Not "we find police reduce crime," but "we find that a 1% increase in police yields a 0.4% drop in crime."
The abstract isn't clickbait.

Today's edition of "📈📉 papers you should know" is Amanda Friedenberg's @econometric.bsky.social paper, "Bargaining Under Strategic Uncertainty: The Role of Second-Order Optimism". It's a wonderful example of a paper that delivers new insights from studying an old game.

I wrote an intro to the literature on simple mechanisms. Out now in the JEP.
It’s a short (14-page) plain-language summary, designed to get students to the research frontier. 📈📉

Here's Bryan Caplan writing about math in economics.
Seems very wrong to me. I wonder what the quickest refutation is that would make sense to most practicing economists.

Paper worth reading: "The Optimality of Majority Rule" by Nina Bobkova.
It offers a new perspective on why simple majority-rule may be best: it not only aggregates information but it also motivates voters to learn about what really matters.

Did you know you can make BLOCKLISTs on bluesky?! Marciano even took the time to make one for QJE's use.
I made a theory starter pack. It includes some CS/Econ, pol-econ, and behavioral types as well... Lmk if you'd like to be added (or removed!) and I'll do my best - the edit functionality is a bit wonky atm

there's a view that this place is unbearably lefty and less valuable/less promising because of that. i don't think it's true
but it WOULD be great for econsky to form a norm of not piling on when people say something against the prevailing orthodoxy
