On its 32nd trip, the Norwegian initiative Ukraine Freedom Convoy has just delivered 21 cars to the Ukrainian military, bringing the total to 452 since 2022. The drivers traveled 2,300 km. On the way, they met similar volunteer groups from Poland and Slovakia. And there are many more others. russian propaganda wants you to believe that European societies abandoned Ukraine. Meanwhile, people understand well what's at stake — and that Ukraine's freedom is a precondition for their own. Thank you, dear Norwegian people 🇳🇴

The International Economic Review has just published a new exciting paper by Edmund Crawley, Martin Holm and Håkon Tretvoll on A Parsimonious Model of Idiosyncratic Income. It is available through @WileyEconomics here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ie…

I’ve been searching Bluesky to find people celebrating the assassination. The biggest account I found has 16K followers. There are probably others. But it seems like 100% of Democrats who matter in any way unequivocally condemn the killing. Maybe we should appreciate that?

The macroeconomics community in Oslo recently lost an important member as Marcus Hagedorn passed away. I didn't know him well myself, but here are some words in his memory from those who did. sas.upenn.edu/~manovski/Reme…

Congrats @SpursOfficial !!

A paper that I previously cited here for it's cool results (described below) was just retracted for fraud. It was entirely made up and the experiment never happened. The author has been kicked out of MIT.

Today’s GDP number, like always, will be revised many times in the coming years with better source data. Based on historical revision magnitudes there is a 49% chance it gets revised to a positive—but also could be more negative. Here is what the “final” number could look like.

Erica is 1,000% correct. Talking about the Trump campaign proposal during the campaign brought charges of Trump Derangement Syndrome, but now it’s the moderate version!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

If you want a measure of the scale of the transatlantic rift, consider this: I am told yesterday was the 1st time since 1945 the US voted with Russia & against Europe at the UN on an issue of European security. Just let that sink in. 1/4

Today we commemorate the victims of Holodomor, a crime of unfathomable proportions. During the years 1932-1933, millions of Ukrainians were starved to death by the Soviet authorities. The horrors of Holodomor must never be forgotten. #StandWithUkraine 📸:President.gov.ua

Genial plassering av reklame på @DN_no

Siden mine første formuleringer var for lange for en tweet og jeg derfor måtte omskrive dem, ser jeg at jeg kom i skade for å utelate den glimrende artikkelen om regionfordelingen i SPU av Henriksen og Tretvoll. Som plaster på såret får de en egen tweet her, med navn.
