Why canβt they just βdo what South Korea didβ? @dietzvollrath.bsky.social explains why that question is so flummoxing to economists, and why we shouldnβt lose hope finding the answer: buff.ly/3NdpBE5

Basic structure is the same, but new approaches to teaching Solow, Romer, and Schumpeterian models and a bunch of new applications.
Yes yes yes yes yes! Hard to think of anyone who is more deserving: Claudiaβs work (on gender and beyond) is so important and a huge inspiration for many of us! Also hard to think of anyone who is more supportive, welcoming, or thoughtful.
Huge congratulations to Claudia!
Super pumped. Got a wristband for big reveal of new Acemoglu, Chetty, List paper tonight. Not sure if Iβll push up front or just stay with the lawn chairs in back. Rock and roll!
