Not quite 20k, but close enough: A short thread explaining the intuition behind my working paper on patent disclosure norms and why inventors in eighteenth-century Britain came to disclose detailed descriptions of their inventions under conditions of selective patent enforcement.

At 20,000 followers I will reveal a model that explains innovator incentives under incomplete intellectual property rights and demonstrate how legal-institutional arrangements may have contributed to the Industrial Revolution

Sobering reminder that hyperscaler data centers will consume as much power as whole countries in Africa

Next week’s blog post will be on problems of space in economic history: spatial autocorrelation, spatial confounding, and spatial unit roots, using Voigtländer and Voth (2012) as an example.

This week’s blog post is on Nathan Nunn’s ethnicity-level African slave trade estimates. In short, I find that they are not really possible because the sources do not contain the information that Nunn describes. What he treats as granular information on ethnicities is actually labels that enslavers applied to their captives to indicate broad regions of origin. As a result, Nunn’s dataset is fairly meaningless. The econometrics are also fragile. poorrichworld.blog/p/this-ethnici…

@AngusBylsma I still need to venture North, but I’ve found London at least manages to bring in some good beers

Becoming a fan of the North of England, especially the beer, which is for some reason leagues better than it is in London. Top notch everywhere I’ve been.

Watching the game in the closest thing I own to a football jersey: an M&S jumper I bought four years ago and only recently noticed has an England national team badge on the label

@joefrancis505 Seems to be in pretty clear terms a kind of property arrangement, even in the more abstract sense a regime of coerced labor is meaningfully a humanly devised constraint on economic behavior

@Jackbmeyer Not everyone is aware of it. E.g., the reivewer of my work who said "Why does he completely discount institutions?"

One of the most overlooked facts of American economic history is that the explosion in economic growth during the 19th century also financed an explosion in public goods at the local level. State and federal governments did not fund much. Cities did! By 1913, some 2/3 of spending was by local governments. From Holcombe and Lacombe in JEH 2001

The current state of AI projections are “lavishly detailed projections of how AI will transform everything and spread across the universe” versus “no it won’t” and i’m ngl “no it won’t” is making a lot of great points

@Biggiethelad1 I’ve found Sapporo is sold almost exclusively as single cans, and Asahi is on draft or in packs

As a Marxist who loves Hegel, i have probably seen 4 good tweets invoking Hegel the entire time i've been on this app. Usually, it's a convenient marker that lets me know someone is a pseud. And what's funny is that they'll read this post and think i'm not talking about them lmao
