Ikke rigtig nogen. Jeg har mere eller mindre fået alle mine
favoritter “præmieret” de sidste mange år. Og at gætte tør jeg ikke. Jeg har ramt rigtigt 2 gange (Romer, Acemoglu) - begge gange ved at gætte på dem i årevis indtil, det blev rigtigt 😎
Har du bud?

Will we soon see chants a la “Where’s Jared’s Laptop?”.
So I guess Acemoglu is not a safe bet for a Nobel this year?

How is Laver Cup being shown on TV in the US? Yesterday, Agassi was saying f@c& A LOT.
Why don't dems set up a vote on a similar honor to the victims in the Minnesota shootings?

Nice discussion with Mankiw and B. Stevenson on tarrifs, inflation and monetary policy. Both mention the risk that associated price shocks may affect inflation expectations adversely.
Does anyone know of recent theoretic models having that feature?
Easiest tournament win ever for them. And so wonderful to watch.

Siniakova, is thrown under the bus. 😬
New team is Collins and Harrison
