Thank you all for coming!
Lovely weather enjoyed by lots of urban economists at the #UEA2024 reception yesterday evening at Georgetown.
Thanks a lot Gabriel @Ahlfeldt for this great public service!
Need a teaching-friendly toolkit of the mighty Monte-Redding-Rossi-Hansberg (2018) model? Transparent solvers w detailed comments, didactic counterfactuals all written in MATLAB, & codebook w pseudo codes. Looking forward to teaching it at @BSE_Berlin github.com/Ahlfeldt/MRRH2018…

To all my friends teaching international trade courses, we just released some new figures for your lecture 1. Take a look at the latest edition of our Data Blog, which nicely illustrates the pattern of trade and protection:

Economists should ask *why price elasticities are what they are*, rather than just estimating elasticities.
This opens up a large policy space.
Good example is @ferdinandomonte @ReddingEcon @HansbergRossi's Commuting & Employment elasticities paper:

Grazie a @ferdinandomonte per l’articolo. La ricerca sulla configurazione ottimale della rete dei trasporti sta facendo passi da gigante negli ultimi anni. Ricercatori da tutto il mondo vengono invitati in Cina per parlarne.
E noi? Noi niente.
La ricerca economica ha messo a punto metodi che permettono di quantificare le conseguenze sul territorio dei cambiamenti nei costi di trasporto, accanto ai benefici apportati. Possono dunque offrire indicazioni sugli eventuali meccanismi compensativi.

un mio commento sulla #Tav . Grazie a @lavoceinfo per l'ospitalità.
Tra gli aspetti controversi dell’analisi sulla #Tav c’è il tema solo sfiorato del migliore “accesso al mercato” che potrebbe esserci per lavoratori, imprenditori, consumatori che si spostano alla ricerca di nuove opportunità o di prezzi più convenienti.
