Couldn't agree more - I highly recommend this. Entire strands of research could probably be spun from this talk alone, by employing these methods to different questions... and perhaps one of the best talks I've ever seen that break down a complex topic to a wide audience, while being crystal clear.
For those who didn't make it to #ASSA2025: strongly recommend @sendhil.bsky.social's AEA distinguished lecture, available at www.aeaweb.org/webcasts/202... (starting at minute 16)!

Do we do threads🧵on #EconSky? I recently gave a talk on competition policy and startup acquisitions. Here are the main points:
1/ Since ~2001, acquisitions have overtaken IPOs as the primary "exit" for VC-backed startups. This shift impacts how competition plays out.

"Our main finding is that UPK is one of the most cost-effective active labor market policies ever evaluated in the US." - hopefully, also governments beyond the US take note.
Universal Pre-K has huge income benefits for parents, despite limited academic effects for kids.
"Excluding impacts on children, each dollar of net government expenditure yields $5.51 in after-tax benefits for families, almost entirely from parents' earnings gains."

On Tuesday, 36 US ports will be shut down by the largest shipping strike in living memory.
This could recreate the chaotic supply chain crisis of 2021-2022. Are we ready?

No one mechanism dominates across all industries. Caveats, caveats. But if there is a theme, it is that the first order changes we observe, measured in decades, have predominately been due to technological change. And this is for industries that one might not associate with innovation. 7/N

❄ Winter is coming and natural gas consumption will increase!
After Russia reduced drastically its supplies to Europe, savings are central to avoid a gas-shortage in Germany. So, how much did we save last year and where are we now?
