I’m really excited about this paper! Some of my work has pointed out problems in empirical work, but this one is all about new 🔧s.
If you (or your referees) want to know about the mechanisms by which a treatment affects an outcome, you may be interested. A 🧵.

Here comes the food inflation
Costs for food companies jumped 7.9% yoy in March (vs. 4.2% in Feb.)
This is basically just from higher fuel costs - we're still waiting for the impact of higher fertilizer, plastics, etc.

🗳️📌 MINISTRA ESTELA RÍOS NO SABE QUE ESTÁ VOTANDO
Otra escena vergonzosa en la Corte del Acordeón:
Ministro Chicharrón: El proyecto declara la invalidez
Ministra Estela Ríos: Estoy en contra de todo
Ministro Chicharrón: Entonces está a favor de la invalidez
Ministra Estela Ríos: Si, voy por la invalidez
Ministro Hugo Aguilar: Entonces, está a favor del proyecto que propone la invalidez
Ministra Estela Ríos: No, estoy en contra de todo
Todos: 🤦♂️🤦♀️
Y así al infinito.

El cuidado de las personas frágiles es un indicador muy importante de la calidad de la vida social de un país. Y no olvidemos que a las personas mayores no sólo hay que asistirlas: ante todo hay que escucharlas, porque custodian la sabiduría de un pueblo. Les debemos gratitud, porque han afrontado grandes dificultades por el bien de la comunidad. #ViajeApostólico #Angola

Para esta semana la SHCP disminuyó los estímulos al IEPS.
Para la gasolina regular (Magna), el estímulo se ubicó en 11.67%, por debajo del 26.97% observado la semana anterior.
Para la gasolina Premium, el estímulo se eliminó por completo, pasando de 8.90% a 0.00%.
Para el diésel registró un estímulo de 43.17%, mostrando una disminución importante frente al 80.35% previo.
Este ajuste implica que el gobierno federal absorbe una menor proporción del IEPS, trasladando una mayor carga fiscal al consumidor final, particularmente en el caso de la gasolina Premium, donde se pagará la cuota completa del impuesto por litro.
Desde el inicio de la guerra entre Irán y Estados Unidos, el precio de la gasolina Magna ha subido 1.88% y la Premium 10.47%.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Closing the door to immigrants closes the lab too.
Cornejo & @morrisonXandrea show in their new Journal of Economic Geography paper that the #US quota acts of 1921–24 stifled #patenting, even among US-born #inventors.
