My new "generative book," fully written by me, the last chapter is on how AI will revolutionize the sciences (and us): tylercowen.com/marginal-revol…

@VincentGeloso @ATabarrok Congratulations! Well deserved!

So this just happened ...

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Colman McCarthy. I was his student in high school and I remember frequently debating with him about political philosophy. The respectful disagreements and debates made me appreciate him very much and to see the value of pluralism. He remains an example of a person unconditionally dedicated for a cause - in his case pacifism. americamagazine.org/catholic-book-…

I will be speaking this afternoon at the Applied Microeconomics seminar of the Central Bank of Colombia @BancoRepublica. For anyone interested to join, details are below.

Looking forward to speaking to my friend @StephenROBrien next Tuesday at 2pm in the latest in our @UKAbrahamAccord webinar series. The Sahel is faced with numerous interconnected security and humanitarian challenges. Fast rising temperatures have led to extreme food and water insecurity and mass internal displacement. Weak governance in the Sahel means these issues are not adequately addressed, and are exploited by malign actors such as Russia- keen to expand its influence and presence in the Sahel. Sir Stephen has spent his career leading on solutions to the most pressing global humanitarian and development challenges. As UN Undersecretary General for Humanitarian Affairs, Sir Stephen worked on humanitarian crises in Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar, DRC, and Sudan. As UK Special Representative to the Sahel, Sir Stephen worked for peace, stability, and prosperity in the region. Sir Stephen has long been a leading advocate for global health. Sir Stephen is Chairman of the Malaria Consortium and created the APPG for Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases. We hope you can join us for a fascinating conversation 🇺🇳🇬🇧 Register here👇 us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Why you should work much harder RIGHT NOW marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

@m_clem Amazing! Very happy to hear that! Wishing you the best in the new opportunity, and looking forward to keep reading your great work

@FilipJole Thank you so much Filip. Mason has been simply amazing to me: universally generous and supportive and instantiating genuine intellectual pluralism. I am exclusively pursuing this, which I wasn't looking for, because it's such a unique opportunity

I'm honored and excited to join the faculty of America's oldest research university, Johns Hopkins. I'll start this summer as a full professor, one of the founding faculty at the brand-new School of Government and Policy. We're building something unique & historic.

Looking forward to hearing @CassSunstein soon!

Wonderful spending time yesterday with these two fine gentlemen and former colleagues @kdd0211 & @joelgriffith

New population estimates released by Census in January show a total increase in US population since 2020 of 10,268,744. Of that 81%, of 8,328,837 was from international migration, mostly from non-US born migrants. No wonder the labor force grew so rapidly during that period. census.gov/data/tables/ti…

Today marks 250 years of the publication of the book that changed the world - An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. Arguably, this book propelled the social science today known as Economics. And it is this science, and the scholarly work of everyone who followed in the last 250 years, that have unlocked the mysteries of allocation of resources and wealth creation. A lot of the wealth (consider wealth in a broad sense - opportunities, health, longevity, money, etc.) has been made possible due to discoveries that were unveiled through the work that was started by Smith, whether that may be the role of incentives, or prices, or trade, or institutions. So cheers in that honor, cheers to the start of ideas that have made the greatest improvement in human lives and lifted the world out of unimaginable poverty compared to our lives today.

It is becoming increasingly clear that there is a fracturing of authority in Iran. While the president apologises to his Gulf allies, the IRGC seems intent on continuing, even increasing, action against Gulf neighbours even if they have not allowed US bases to be used in the conflict. There can be no hope for a better future in Iran or peace in the region as long as the IRGC, the Basij or the Qods force remain. They have shown their willingness to unleash murderous brutality against the Iranian prople. They are, inside and outside Iran, the greatest threat to change and peace. As well as military action we need to encourage those not fully committed to these groups to abandon them and align with the people of Iran.

It’s becoming clear the academic paper format is going to change. We treat each result as a small, portable claim (X→Y + how it’s supported) and stitch those claims into a graph. Major update to Paper, full code + data below. 👇

Is it today possible to build something that will last for 100 years? Or are the days of the Icelandic Parliament an ancient exception?
