1/ I recently wrote a review for @hfrancewebsite.bsky.social on Arnaud Orain’s Le monde confisqué: Essai sur le capitalisme de la finitude. The book has stirred major debate in France. It’s rare (and great) to see a historian of economic thought in the spotlight.

We updated our paper on the effects of monetary policy on output and prices (thanks for great feedback). We show that results reported in the literature are plagued by p-hacking and publication bias, leading to inflated effects of interest rate hikes.
