Historical financial data

I rarely post on Europe because @lugaricano always has better takes than mine. It is hard to be the second act! His post this morning: siliconcontinent.com/p/the-two-euro… on the two Europes is particularly striking. Figure 1, which I reproduce here, is something European policymakers should keep in mind every day. Beyond the raw, somewhat abstract figures for GDP per capita, there is a reality I see every time I travel to Western Europe. I moved to the U.S. in 1996, six weeks after graduating from college. Every time I visit, I can tell that Spain (especially outside Madrid) is further behind the U.S. today than it was the day I left. The malaise in countries such as France, Germany, Italy, and Spain is not just economic. The public conversation is also more insular and focused on distributional fights over a pie that grows much less than in the past, with many more claimants. While I can listen to dozens of incredibly exciting podcasts in the U.S. about deep learning and technology, most of what one hears in Europe (Luis excepted!) is second-rate. Of course, this is not to say that everything is perfect in the U.S. Far from it. One only needs to ride the subway in Seoul a couple of times to realize that New York City is, on many dimensions, a major underperformer. When I visit New York City, I am not amazed by its prosperity but wonder how much richer it could be with a half-decent government. And California’s policies are a textbook example of how to waste the immense resources of one of the luckiest places on Earth. And Europe still has centuries of beautiful architecture and culinary traditions going for it But, Western Europe, thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

Linear regression explained

How much of a country’s future income is shaped by the health, education, and employment available today? The new Human Capital Index Plus (HCI+) from the @WorldBankGroup provides a clearer answer—by tracking human capital from birth to age 65. Browse: wrld.bg/AvQg50YMPSn

Understanding regression models is essential in data science. In 4 minutes, I'll demolish your confusion. Let's go:
