Autor et al. published a series of articles that have since been falsified by subsequent research. However, few realize this, which means the articles persist, like zombies. 1/8

If you were Israeli leaders, and believed you were being globally accused of crimes you didn't commit in Gaza, what's the first thing you'd do?
Urge the international media to go to Gaza and report the truth.
But if you know the accusations are true, you'd ban international media from reporting freely. That's what Israel is doing even a year after a "cease-fire," and the reason could not be more obvious.

Nishat Group has launched 10 SUVs since 2023, with 9 in the last year and a half.
Great for consumer choice. The absolute opposite of what is needed for localisation.
The problem with that is the problem we had with Autos that led to the 2016 Auto Policy: a lack of competition extinguishes competition and dynamism, and each year of producing one model is a year we fall further behind the rest of the world.
