New paper with Paolo Agnolin and Italo Colantone: in a way, I wish we didn’t have to write it --it's just another primer on post-treatment bias. But it’s a fun paper...We show how one can break some of Colantone and Stanig's earlier results (i.e., ours!)

best thing to do if you are so worried about trade deficits as they seem to be: restrict sales of a valuable export.

more than Nobels, what is interesting is that a lot of high-paying jobs in finance, insurance, etc. then go to allegedly underschooled westerners (and there is some -quietly expressed- discontent for this). Or the depts of physics or economics at NUS employing many (mostly?) western or PRC scholars

Ok so, paying attention to the technicalities, “the Federal President dismissed the cabinet following a negative vote in the legislature.”

Yeah I know the story, but what I am saying is that “government collapse” is not the same thing to American ears. I venture that it sounds more like “Staatszerstörung” to those unfamiliar with parliamentary systems. As Germans would say, a constellation of misunderstandings

Or “the legislature dismissed the cabinet, leading to a new election”

mostly voter reactions to direct exposure to extreme weather events.

Just getting the group average would be informative though. Not an experimental q. Ask at the very end if you are concerned with contamination

Some curiosity about the study that a superficial read did not assuage: did they ask respondents which menu *they* would choose? Crucial info to assess whether stereotypes are on target
