Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing

As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements

This is a big deal
August 1, 2025 AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations Statement from the American Economic Association on the Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today. The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day. Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias. The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity. Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions. We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure. Lawrence Katz President, American Economic Association Katharine Abraham President-Elect, American Economic Association Karen Dynan Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics Kenneth Troske Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Government Relations

DOJ Removes All Mentions Of Justice From Website
WASHINGTON—In the latest of a series of escalations in President Donald Trump’s highly publicized war on “woke,” the U.S. Department of Justice reportedly removed all mentions of justice from its website Friday. The purge follows a directive from the DOJ last week to roll back pro-justice programs and delete thousands of webpages that contained banned […]

@camara.leg.br Caros, podem divulgar neste canal a notícia da moção de louvor ao Trump pela CREDN? Acho importante postar na conta oficial da Câmara para os deputados receberem o feedback da sociedade. Eles certamente se importam e desejam esse feedback.

Subscrevo integralmente este texto. É um erro estratégico os políticos europeus continuarem activos no X. Aquilo tornou-se um espaço de desinformação, propaganda e manipulação. Isto também é verdade para jornalistas, académicos e pessoas e instituições com responsabilidade social.
O X da questão
O absurdo desta situação é evidente: os responsáveis políticos europeus não apenas ignoram a realidade em que o X se transformou, como a legitimam.

It would be really stupid if the next X app update came with a piece of code that allows for circumventing the mechanisms used to block it in Brazil. Whatever sources of value musk had in Brazil have been lost already.

To be clear, I like and admire many of the authors and am not alleging any malfeasance. I'm only pointing out the degree of industry capture in this area of research and the blind eye journals turn to conflicts.

Below, the Competing Interests statement from the paper and a Pubpeer comment on it.
Competing interestsSome authors are or have been employed by Meta: W.M., A.W., P.B., T.B., D.M., A.F., and C.K.d.J. are current employees. A.C.-T., D.D., and C.V.R. are former employees. All of their work on the study was conducted while they were employed by Meta. The following academic authors have had one or more of the following funding or personal financial relationships with Meta (paid consulting work, received direct grant funding, received an honorarium or fee, served as an outside expert, or own Meta stock): M.G., A.M.G., B.N., J.P., J.S., R.T., M.W., N.J.S., and J.A.T. The costs of the study were funded by Meta. Peer review on this publication appears to have been in violation of the PNAS competing interests policy. . Leonardo Bursztyn, one of the reviewers, notes receiving funding from Meta in 2021 on their CV.. This creates competing interests concerns both with regard to the topic and the authorship. This is particularly concerning as it is a contributed article for which the authorship selects the peer reviewers.
