Would you take better care of your health today if you knew youβd be richer in retirement? We study Chileβs 1981 pension reform with a fuzzy Regression Kink Design on linked admin + household panel data. Answer: yes. Preventive care rises (healthy behaviours modestly), and old-age mortality falls.

thinking once again about how the central, pivotal performance on which PJ's LOTR trilogy turns is Ian McKellan's, because if we believe Gandalf is real we will believe the entire story, but at the same time the central performance of Fellowship as a standalone film is Sean Bean's

There is a real disconnect between media outlets putting together live coverage of A-level results and celebrating those going to university whilst also ignoring the decimation of the higher education sector and the impact that, over time, this will have on the experience of most of these students.

Walking on campus, I was just thinking how hard it is to be a grad student. It was by far the hardest thing I have done professionally, and there were many days (and nights!) when I was certain I would never come up with a job market paper (or, any paper, really). Grad students, hang in there!π€

Trump has just hung the "now open for business sign", saying he'll do specific (tariff) favors for specific companies.
CEOs will see massive gains from lobbying, and huge costs from criticizing the White House.
It's an effective way to suppress criticism.

Net Zero by 2050 'impossible' for UK, says Kemi Badenoch
The Conservative leader says the target is impossible
Badenoch is to end the UK's bipartisan consensus on climate policy. She is ditching a rare achievement of the Tories' time in government, the 2019 law to make the Paris Agreement's net zero target legally binding.
