I'm surprised I haven't seen this paper until now (by @mikekofoed). Clean RCT of zoom- vs. in-person-school: 38 sections, same class (intro econ), same time slot, same instructor. Zoom students did 0.2 SD worse. docs.iza.org/dp14356.pdf

The Car of Tomorrow" is a 1951 Tex Avery MGM Cartoon that humorously envisions the future of automotive technology. In the cartoon, a showroom presents various car models with unique features, such as undentable fenders, adjustable seats, talking turn signals, and even one for literal backseat drivers.

Do higher public debt levels reduce economic growth? My meta-analysis is out in the September issue of Journal of Economic Surveys. By analysing 816 estimates, I find - publication bias in favour of negative growth effects - no uniform public-debt-to-GDP threshold Summary 🧵

For all those that think that since some frauds in Beh Econ were caught then the whole field is a non-replicable mess: wrong. Some (most?) results are robust & come out of serious work. Onwards!

I say this with a heavy heart, My father passed away peacefully in his sleep. He is a legend in the art world and it would be my honor to follow in his footsteps. Please keep your thoughts and condolences here out of respect for my family. He was the greatest man I ever met. – at New York, USA

This @QJEHarvard paper is fantastic. The type of big economic history work I wish there was more of. I'm teaching it tomorrow, which will be fun. I think it shows the fundamental power of careful, long-run historical data work. With the power to inform current policy debates.

Fantasy as we know it today was created by a self-taught French artist from the 19th century. He has influenced everybody from HP Lovecraft to George Lucas and Tim Burton to Peter Jackson. His name? Gustave Doré...
