Fascinating new study here that suggests even an extremely high universal basic income would not have the labor supply impacts that UBI skeptics fear. It suggests that a ~$15,000/mo UBI might only reduce employment by 10% with no impact on those who remain employed.

Labor supply responses to a Very Large Income Shock: Evidence from Daughters of Brazilian Military Officers. Marcelo Barbosa Ferreira∗ October 28, 2025 Updated version Abstract This paper provides estimates of income effects on labor supply by studying a large, permanent, and unconditional monthly cash flow. I leverage a unique setting in Brazil where adult daughters of military personnel receive a lifetime pension after their parent’s death. This transfer is exceptionally large, the median pension payment is 282% of the national median earnings, and truly unconditional, available regardless of their employment, earnings, or marital status. Using administrative pension records matched to linked employer-employee data, I find that this transfer induces a 10% decrease on the extensive margin of labor supply after seven years, with no effect on the intensive margin, and a marginal propensity to earn (MPE) of -0.08 after seven years. Labor supply adjusts gradually, driven by a large temporary increase in the hazard of separation and a persistent moderate reduction in the job finding rate. The marginal propensity to earn is greater for larger pension payments, consistent with adjustment costs, and larger for older daughters, consistent with binding liquidity constraints and desire for early retirement. Using a sufficient statistics model, our MPE estimate of -0.08 implies that the redistributive gains from a UBI in Brazil would outweigh its efficiency costs, resulting in net welfare gains, as long as the uncompensated elasticity of labor supply is less than 0.38, consistent with microeconomic evidence.

Uma nova espécie de pterossauro do Araripe, encontrada dentro de um vômito fossilizado de dinossauro 🤍. A natureza é linda! Kkk

Seja bem-vindo, Bakiribu waridza!

Acesse o artigo: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Digital paleoart scene showing two pterosaurs with long, comb-like teeth standing in shallow water, using their jaws to filter food. Several similar pterosaurs fly in the background and a large theropod dinosaur resembling Irritator walks along the shore chasing them. The landscape is semi-arid with distant mountains under a cloudy sky. Photographs and interpretative drawings of a fossil regurgitalite from the Romualdo Formation (Araripe Basin). Panels A and B show part and counterpart of an oval limestone concretion containing disarticulated and partially digested remains of pterosaur bones and fish. Panels C and D are line drawings highlighting bone clusters and digestive residue, illustrating the internal organization of the regurgitated mass.

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.
Three schematic diagrams. The first illustrates selective publishing of internal resection, the second selective causal focus, and the third selective access and funding for researchers.

2/ Our central claim: Across his system, Hegel builds an account of colonialism as racial domination, linking world history, freedom, property, and statehood. It’s grounded in the four-stages theory and what he calls the absolute right of the Idea, vindicating colonialism in the name of liberty.
A colour lithograph published as a supplement to The Graphic for the Indian and Colonial Exhibition (24 July 1886), showing the British Empire in pink and centred on Greenwich. Britannia sits enthroned above the globe, framed by banners reading Freedom, Fraternity, and Federation. Around the border, allegorical figures represent the empire’s peoples: Indigenous hunters and labourers at the margins, traders, soldiers, and settlers nearer the imperial core. Insets list trade, population, and area statistics, fusing allegory with empirical data. Animals and crops – elephants and tigers for India, kangaroos and sheep for Australia – mark each region by its resources and stage of economic life (Driver 2010). Crane’s composition depicts a hierarchy of civilisation. Britannia embodies imperial authority, while her subjects appear as differentiated types of labour and culture. The blend of commercial data and moral imagery turns empire into a story of progress, where freedom, property, and self-government are equated with discipline and productivity. The bent “Asian porter” and Atlas labelled Human Labour expose the burden that sustains this freedom (Driver 2010). The map’s spatial order mirrors the stadial logic of Scottish four-stages anthropology that also shapes Hegel’s philosophy of world history. Hunters, pastoralists, agriculturalists, and commercial peoples occupy successive ranks in a teleology culminating in Europe as bearer of universal freedom. The banners of Freedom and Federation vindicate colonial domination, echoing Hegel’s historical theodicy in which the “absolute right of the Idea” is realised through European expansion (Driver 2010). Reference Felix Driver, “In Search of the Imperial Map: Walter Crane and the Image of Empire,” History Workshop Journal 69 (2010): 146–157. A black-and-white engraving depicting Hegel lecturing at the University of Berlin. He stands before rows of students, gesturing with one hand while holding a manuscript in the other. His face is animated, suggesting the intensity of oral exposition. The students below him sit closely packed, taking notes or gazing upward toward the lectern, where the philosopher appears framed by a dark wooden pulpit and a high window that lets in a diffuse light. The scene evokes, amongst others, Hegel’s lectures on the Philosophy of History in the winter term of 1822–1823, when he proclaimed that Europe represents the culmination of world history. In these lectures, Hegel argued that the principle of freedom had been fully realised in modern Christian Europe and that what lay outside it was “intrinsically overcome.” “For Europeans,” he declared, “the world is round” – the globe itself already encompassed by Europe’s spiritual and political dominion.
