Restricting visas doesn’t lead to hiring non-immigrants—it leads to hiring foreigners. For every H-1B visa rejection, multinationals add ~0.4–0.9 foreign employees, especially in R&D hubs like India, China, and Canada.

Fuhito Kojima’s Walras Bowley Lecture has just been uploaded to arxiv. It considers that administrative boundaries cause many markets to be fragmented, and how some of the resulting efficiency loss can be recovered.

I know this take will probably be unpopular on Bluesky, but I think as educators we should be thinking about how to productively incorporate LLMs into our teaching.
I think that if done thoughtfully, it has the potential to boost learning.

Very interesting paper!
New working paper alert: we provide a model of post-hoc rationalizations, driven by motives of (self-)esteem. We show how this can lead to groupthink, polarization, and a preference for echo chambers.
