Week 2: This week's theory paper in focus is a brilliant conceptual puzzle piece by Thomas & Worrall (1990). What are the implications of risk sharing/insurance provision over time when income is private? They have a surprising answer: it necessarily leads to long-term impoverishment.

In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.
As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.

DOGE will find increasing government efficiency is easier said than done. But showing that you are at least trying not to waste taxpayer money is important. My county is raising property taxes sharply while subsidizing local rail to the tune of $116 per ride. www.startribune.com/what-is-nort...
What is Northstar rail’s fate? Likely more of the same, for now
This month marked the 15th year of the commuter rail service between Minneapolis and Big Lake. But ridership numbers haven’t rebounded to pre-pandemic levels, and a St. Cloud connection is uncertain.

New today: my Mpls Fed Research Note on how layoffs and labor supply contribute to unemployment. Labor supply rises in recessions, driving 25-30% of the rise in unemployment & giving insight to workers' perceptions. See what this means for the current moment:

Interesting work on inequality in Norway. Two surprising findings: (1) consumption inequality is high, and (2) inequality is pro-cyclical.
First post on Bluesky to share a first draft of “A Tale of Procyclical Inequality: Facts and Implications” joint with me and @DBergholt and Lorenzo Mori sites.google.com/view/lorenzo...
