Just watched Insomnia, and wow. Is it Nolan's best movie?

Lol.

Do you mean writing mostly words to convey the logic of the proof instead of detailed mathematics? When it's done well I really like it as a style. But it's hard to pull off.

This website is terrible. But I commend you for trying.

This is wild! Also highlights problems with auditing and special issues.

Sometimes you plan to spend the night exploring some econ theory, but the baby gets a new tooth and takes really long to sleep. And when it's all over you really just need to revisit Bowie's Berlin Trilogy.

I'm taking this as a recommendation.

Nice!

This happened to me once with a non-econ journal. I just told them I couldn't do it that fast and they didn't object.

This made my day.

I have posted an updated draft of my paper "Robust Group Manipulation with Indifferences." papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I will be presenting the updated draft of my paper "Renegotiation-Proof Cheap Talk" (with @ckuzmics.bsky.social) at SAET next week. (Link to paper below.)

They have one here, but it’s for encephalitis.

Thursday night reading: pubsonline.informs.org/doi/abs/10.1...

A new draft of my paper is available. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Kenneth O. May led a much more interesting life than I realized. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth...

"Is it possible to identify one's probabilistic beliefs about an event when they care about the event itself? Can we measure a partisan voter’s beliefs about their preferred candidate winning the election or a wife’s beliefs about her husband recovering from disease?" 1/2

Great paper.

I mainly came to Bluesky for the econtwitter. But I rarely see any now. Very low level of activity. What’s going on?

People make different kinds of contributions to the social sciences — mathematical, theoretical, empirical, historical and others. Indeed, formal mathematical models have been very valuable as has careful institutional and historical insight. Social science has room for it all.

Just got an email from a journal. A “Call for Reading.” Lol.

I can’t see the post, but I noticed after the election an uptick in posts equating being anti-DEI with wanting to get rid of the Civil Rights Act. This signals to me an unwillingness among leftists to compromise on DEI that is worrisome.

Non-trivial at all, especially with uncertainty (assuming that's what he means by "states").

I'm kind of pumped dynamic programming has entered the election. (Was that excerpt the beginning of the Principle of Optimality?)

For object assignment without monetary transfers, Random Serial Dictatorship was long conjectured to be the only strategy-proof, ex post efficient & symmetric rule. We show that it is not. Further, we investigate when it cannot be Pareto-dominated ex ante. www.econometricsociety.org/publications...

Amazing paper!

This was the most disappointing part of becoming an adult. It wasn’t even that people in institutions had a price for their principles. We all do if we’re honest. It’s how low the price is.

Diversity statements, at least in practice, are terrible. Hopefully Canada follows suit…
