NYT has lost its way when it comes to distinguishing between the opinions pieces and its reporting.

I often wonder how today’s ultra processed health foods - think protein bars or powder supplements for example - will fare in this type of analysis. So many people I know, who avoid UPF, add all this stuff to their diet. I can’t help but think it’s similar.…

Krugman's interview of Posen (7/19) was helpful to break down recession and inflation pressures. This Posen quote stuck: ..sure as shooting, there are real income shocks and a real supply shock to labor markets coming and potentially shortages of key inputs...that has to show up somewhere.

To BC's point, it's a good read about the U.S economy. But I would quibble with notions that price discrimination (alluded to just before that highlighted quote) is a problem. Perhaps, though I am no expert on airport-stuff, the issue is that the options over which to discriminate are too few?

This is really interesting. I wonder why the trend is present in young men but not women!

I agree - underestimating the taste for exerting influence, the need to dominate w a different story than Texas, and they are also underestimating the contractions in spending that are already everywhere to see. Those effects are not easily reversed.

I’m excited to read this! Currently feeling like people are t feeling enough blame for what they should have known 😅

I will take Congressman Derrick Van Orden's enthusiastic endorsement of the facts.

fascinating that markets seems to still be assuming a less negative picture. One interpretation is that markets still believe Trump’s transactional approach means he’s willing to reverse course in ways other presidents were not. But some trends, once set in motion, are not so quick to reverse.

Or authorizing a foreign adversary to fire in US airbase? “Trump said he had given Iran permission to bomb a U.S. air base in Qatar in retaliation for the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear weapons program sites. “They said, ‘We’re going to shoot them. Is one o’clock OK?’ I said it’s fine,” Trump said.”

Why is this travesty getting so little media coverage? We can decry gutting healthcare and food assistance at the same time and also point out that massive funding for the police state comes at the expense of feeding and caring for the poor and elderly.
It's econ 101: guns vs butter.

Opinion | The Supreme Court Is Watching Out for the Courts, Not for Trump

I think this article offers a very helpful commentary on the SCOTUS decision. Still sorting through, as best I can, what I think but I found this helpful! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/o...

THIS should spur conversations in higher ed. Economic uncertainty, AI, market mismatch r possibilities (see Krugman's post), but the trend pre-dates these changes. Whatever the cause, human capital investment has value; I hope higher ed meets this moment with innovation to lower the investing cost

I am curious to check this out. It offers (maybe?) a promising way to break one form of bias in that we tend to invite from our networks. But, it could either not address or worsen other forms of bias (using only those who register with RePEc).

I would love to read this!

This is such an achievement!! Wow!!

So excited to hear the papers at the ERINN conference in Venice! Listening to Rachael Kranton and co-author’s paper on social identity and mental health!

This is a funny way to summarize this observation :)

Congratulations 🎉

Excited to share a new working paper!

Two Harvard economists forecast the impact of the administration’s proposed NIH budget cuts- stunning losses in new therapies, life expectancy, and economic output with a “social cost 16 times greater than the savings the administration is attempting to achieve."

I am so excited to read this paper!

Why people follow rules - Nature Human Behaviour Why do people follow rules, even when breaking them has no consequences? Experiments with 14,034 participants reveal that rule-following is not just about rewards or punishments—it is driven by intrin...

“rule-following is not just about rewards or punishments—it is driven by intrinsic respect for rules and social expectations, regulating everyday social interactions”

I feel ya on this one (utterly cruel, pointless, & destructive). To your acknowledgement that there is much cruelty around the world, I would say (in empathy & sympathy) that its presence here doesn't diminish the experienced cruelty of others but rather it adds to the existing pain around us.

"But how will this affect the aristocracy?" is one of the funniest angles on this situation that you could possibly take

I am VERY proud to share that our paper, published in JAMA Internal Med., was chosen as the winner of the 2025 SGIM Best Published Research Paper of the Year Award! The paper is titled: “Using Behavioral Economics to Reduce Low-Value Care Among Older Adults: A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial”
