Forthcoming in the AER: "Nonlinear Pricing and Misallocation" by Gideon Bornstein and Alessandra Peter. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…
Iraqi PM, @mohamedshia : You are risking devastating 35% tariffs to protect terrorists holding a kidnapped @Princeton student. You claim the militias report to you through PMF and want closer ties with Trump—now prove it with action, not words. My sister @Elizrael has been rotting in KH captivity for 865 days, while your people suffer without basic water and electricity in excruciating heat. Don't test @realDonaldTrump . Stop the empty promises and FREE HER NOW. @aboehler @SecRubio @howardlutnick @USTradeRep @jamiesongreer @sfrantzman jpost.com/middle-east/ar…
While we’re waiting for Musk to overthrow the present regime, would you like to learn about some recent advances in markups and misallocation, and what it implies for some recent papers? The link is below:
Allowing for quantity discounts completely flips the logic of misallocation from markups on its head. Firm-level misallocation is much lower, consumer misallocation is much higher, and the normal subsidies don’t work. Possibly paper of the year? 1/

Elizabeth Tsurkov is a Princeton student held hostage in Iraq! The @IraqiPMO consistently made false promises to the prior administration about releasing her. BUT NOW @realDonaldTrump 🇺🇸 IS ON TO YOU! If @elizrael does not come home NOW than @IraqiPMO is either incapable and should be FiRED or worse COMPLICIT. Bring Elizabeth home now!
Humbled and honored to receive an @ERC_Research Consolidator Grant for my project HIPSterMacro: I am super excited for the next 5 years of research and so grateful for the support. Thanks also to all of my co-authors and colleagues for your support to get here!
