It’s not everyday that you get to sit down and chat with a Nobel Laureate.
And despite having 50 years of huge contributions to Econ, Heckman barely talked about his research and ended up discussing the industrial revolution, guilds, immigration, and other “random” stuff

So I did what anyone would do, I* wrote an academic paper on it

The deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan could end one of the world’s most intractable conflicts and a regional detente. Whether that happens will be a test of American diplomacy and of the countries themselves economist.com/europe/2025/08…

Which is true?
1. None of his advisors understand percentage changes.
2. At least some know Trump’s spouting nonsense but feel they can’t tell him.
3. Some actually tell Trump his math makes no sense and he ignores them.

Trump: We will have reduced drugs prices by a 1000%, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400… Not 30 or 50%,

Amazing how Groningen city center is being constantly improved and made convenient for pedestrians and cyclers. When your city changes that often no need to move anywhere 😉

This paper confirms my belief that figuring out how to effectively employ LLMs at scale in education is one of the most important research problems of the day (and no, the answer is not “replace teachers with AI”).
Huge potential returns, and the worst case is already happening

"The meta-analysis results of this study confirm the positive impacts of ChatGPT on learning performance, learning perception, and higher-order thinking," Plenty of caveats, but a meta-analysis of all 51 experimental papers suggests ChatGPT helps learning when used appropriately

🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by @JohnHolbein1 alerted me, @OlleFolke, and Joop Adema (@Jopieboy) to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

A re-analysis of Ciacci's (2024) "Banning the purchase of sex increases cases of rape: Evidence from Sweden" Journal of Population Economics reveals major issues. A year ago, reproducers Adema, Folke, and Rickne found coding errors driving the paper's key results. Let's unpack

I taught that new Anthropic paper "on the biology of LLMs" today and I just wrote a huge thread explaining it. Unfortunately that thread got deleted. But Twitter assured me it wasn't my fault. Anyway, here's a substack that explained it.

Just seeing the RCT 'scandal' brewing among econs again. This is not a question about some bad apples or some instances of malpractice. The RCT industry has been completely distorted from its inception in Econ and this is closely tied to the incentive structure of the discipline.

The Women Professors Monitor 2024 shows that the proportion of women, particularly in higher academic positions, continues to decline notably with each stage of the academic career ladder. End of 2023, the average percentage of women professors at Dutch universities is 28,7%.

Do women earn less than men because they are less competitive? This awesome paper by @ErnestoReuben, Paola Sapienza, and @zingales shows that once we measure earnings some years after graduation, competitiveness does not explain the gender gap (or predict earnings) 🧵1/7

De problemen op de wegen in en rondom #Groningen lossen zich zo langzamerhand op. Het extra aangebrachte zout en de inzet van de lava storm ( youtube.com/watch?v=9V27wt… ) doen hopelijk de problemen helemaal oplossen.
