My JMP asks a classic question:
Do large, dominant firms foster or hinder innovation?
To study this, I turn to the Great Merger Wave (1895–1904), when >2,600 U.S. firms combined into corporate giants like U.S. Steel and DuPont.

Does it matter how the government finances its spending? We show that fiscal multipliers are larger when government spending is financed with short-term debt. The difference arises mainly from private consumption responses. www.bde.es/wbe/es/publi... #bdeResearch#bdeResearch

We have a new paper on the overstated effects of conventional monetary policy on output and prices. Results reported in the literature are plagued by p-hacking and publication bias, leading to inflated effect sizes of how interest rate hikes affect output and prices.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:
Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”
