Why American Jews No Longer Understand One Another Podcast Episode · The Ezra Klein Show · 07/23/2025 · 24m

A staggeringly thoughtful and balanced podcast episode by @ezraklein.bsky.social "Why American Jews No Longer Understand One Another" which is worth 24 minutes of anyone's time. I wonder to what extent these "family feuds" also happen among British Jews. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Yes. The other issue is, of course, preferences over the entire allocation at which point you're really quite stuffed.

As a parent, one learns to appreciate a brutal corollary of Gale's Top Trading Cycles: to avoid inefficiency, one of the kids must get their first-choice toy.

"I'm going to govern in econometrics" is a winning campaign slogan for the ages.

A lovely paper by two splendid auction theorists!

After being an editor for 6.5 years (4 REStud; 2.5 JEEA), I have accumulated a few suggestions that can help you avoid unnecessary rejections.

Thank you for hosting me @shengwuli.bsky.social

*OK, maybe 50% enthusiasm, I'm prone to being enthusiastic about my papers.

Hard to tell, but possibly. It's Einstein and Gödel.

1/n It’s been a long week, and we're only halfway, so here is a fun story of how new classical macroeconomics came to France - not the whole story, but part of the fabric of how economic ideas do travel

As any 1980s French story, it involves postmodernism, art, fashion & nudes (and macro)

I'm in Princeton for the first time and I was wondering if anyone knows where exactly this picture was taken, what is the house in the background, and whether one can still walk on this path? Thank you, hive-mind!

For theory, I always thought that the story on how the proof was found is much more valuable than the super optimized backward engineered final version of it which, most of the time, kills the intuition but "looks impressive", I would love to see more on this in small "sketch" paragraphs

Hello, Bluesky! ☀️

We fund frontier research in Europe—bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So it’s only fitting we’ve landed here. Sorry for being late.

Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.

Do you want to join our theory group in Bonn for a PostDoc? Several open positions:

econjobmarket.org/positions/11...

Bonn is a great place for micro theory with about 11 faculty members, 10 postdocs, a weekly theory seminar, and many other activities.

Every year, there is a Nuffield Postdoctoral Prize Fellowship that often attracts excellent theorists (e.g., Bruno Strulovici, David Delacretaz, Paula Onuhic and Ludvig Sinander). There is an extra postdoc in theory that I'm hosting for next year too: econjobmarket.org/positions/11.... Thanks, Ben!

Screening performance and characteristics of breast cancer detected in the Mammography Screening with Artificial Intelligence trial (MASAI): a randomised, controlled, parallel-group, non-inferiority, ... The findings suggest that AI contributes to the early detection of clinically relevant breast cancer and reduces screen-reading workload without increasing false positives.

New: The largest medical A.I. randomized controlled trial yet performed, enrolling >100,000 women undergoing mammography screening
The use of AI led to 29% higher detection of cancer, no increase of false positives, and reduced workload compared with radiologists w/o AI thelancet.com/journals/lan...

We have just advertised a one-year postdoc in Oxford for anyone interested in economic theory and especially market design: econjobmarket.org/positions/11.... Feel free to reach out for more info! Applications from folks on the current job market and those planning to go next year are welcome!

model of firm dynamics where the key decision for a firm is whether or not to switch from a current supplier to a newly arrived supplier. This turns out to be tractable because the model is constructed so marginal costs of the firms follow a random walk. Model can explain LOTS of facts about firms!
