Point: Socialism has never *really* been tried.
Counterpoint: Socialism has been tried for *over a thousand years.*
New York state should stop sending federal taxes to the regime.

Many people know that there are multiple metrics for racial bias in algorithms -- and that they can yield *very* different results.

In a new paper with Aurelie Ouss, we show the same is true for racial disparities in treatment effects. 1/

I've been thinking recently about the future of the Academy.
Tragically, once you introduce costly signaling, all mathematics is impure.

Here’s a graph from the Economist showing GDP data from official government sources versus private estimates.

Free countries, like the US, don’t manipulate econ data. Less free countries do. Trump is seeking to break that for short-term PR.

(Yes I know GDP is BEA and not BLS.)

EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for economic research, per former BLS Commissioner @ericagroshen.bsky.social on LinkedIn.

BLS is suspending access to its restricted data "for the forseeable future." Applies to projects through the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers & onsite projects with BLS.

🚨 New working paper 🚨

In large cities, wages are higher. But so are inequalities. In fact, low-wage workers earn lower real earnings there.

Why? What drives spatial wage disparities? Why some workers work at lower real wages in large cities?

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)
Peak NIMBY brain is trying to keep a neighboring airport open, even though the planes that land there are literally spraying toxins over your home, because if the airport closes then they're going to build affordable housing there. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/sant...
