Spoke to a friend who arrived from Dubai this morning. She says it's like living in a war zone, and can't say anything there.
Also told me about a hotel in Deira where she knew a lot of Pakistani workers -- they've all been laid off and are going back to Pakistan because hotel occupancy is currently at 12% and all bookings for April have been cancelled.
You won't hear this from the Dubai Media Office. So, you're welcome.

@ayeshaijazkhan How was your experience? Are flights to and from Pakistan smooth?

@SyedIHusain @thealiwarsi I flew Turkish twice recently. It can’t be compared with Emirates or Qatar IMO. But I took it because the timings were suiting me on those two occasions. Right now, it’s the only viable option we have given what’s happening in the Gulf.

Turkish Airlines has a monopoly on flights to Pakistan right now. This can easily be corrected with more competition. If only our government lured European airlines to fly to Pakistan. They would totally do it given that Gulf routes are halted.

Flights from Khi to US are now upwards of Rs 700,000 on Turkish Airlines - and that’s economy!

I have a simple rule:
If I see a startup founder in more than 3 startup conferences/meet-ups/competitions in a year, I don't want to invest in them or support them.
They are too distracted to build a scalable business. A startup for them has turned in to a networking exercise, or, worse, a vanity play.

Indian cricket is going high as they reach the 4th consecutive final of an ICC event while Pakistan has played only four ICC finals in last 26 years. What’s wrong with Pak cricket ?

This is me now @Sarah_Haar_. I've been married for 26 years with a stunning and lovely woman. We have built a happy and loving family. You fight for "Palestine" whilst in Australia and you cry yourself to sleep with your cats. Feminism failed you.

Every single woman at the cafe is disinterested in you & your opinions 😀 We don’t dress to satisfy male strangers anymore. We DGAF about the male gaze & we aren’t providing unpaid visual pleasure for you. Especially when you’re offering THIS low effort, hideous getup:

Rationality in economics 🧵
"Rationality" in economics doesn't mean what you think it means. In particular, it does not mean that someone is reasonable, that they are well informed, or even that they consciously thought through the consequences of their actions.
We use the concept of rationality in two distinct, but specific ways.
The first use refers to preference relations: rational preferences are complete, transitive and reflexive. This basically means that, given a list of options, you can order them with some possible ties. It rules out "cycles" such as prefering apples to pears, pears to bananas and bananas to apples.
To go from there to modelling choices, you need to add constraints (budget, time, location, information, etc.). Constraints remove options from the feasible set and whatever agents prefer in the feasible set is what they do. To a certain extent, saying that agents "always do their best" doesn't say much until you define what best means (i.e., specify preferences) and what is feasible (i.e., add constraints). All of economic theory is finding useful specific ways to apply this idea.
The second use of rationality refers to rational expectations and it means model-consistent expectations. What this rules out are systematic forecasting errors, given the information set available to agents when forming these forecasts.
This idea was introduced by John Muth (1966) as an approximation. His argument was that forecasting errors are costly, so whether by learning, attrition (e.g., people exiting a market), or both, people should tend to make them "small." Formally, this should be considered the fixed point of an unspecified learning process (e.g., Lucas, 1986). Said differently, we're expecting that markets will approximately yield this kind of behavior at the level of a whole market or a whole economy, though not necessarily at the level of every individual.
Now, this isn't a fundamental part of economic theory, it was never intended to be taken literally and it is therefore desirable to explore the consequences of relaxing this assumption.
I hope this helps.

Almost ten years after the PhD, I just crossed 1,000 citations on Google Scholar 🎉. Went to check where that puts me on RePEC: top 4% in Europe out of 34,000 economists.
Every paper I'm proud of got better because someone — a co-author, a referee, an editor, a seminar participant — pushed back, changed the direction, or sharpened the focus.
It takes a village to get good work done. Incredibly grateful for mine!

🚨BIG ADMISSION FROM WAQAR YOUNIS
"I'm disappointed with Pakistan's exit. But barring a few fluke wins, including CT 2017 finals and the odd win against India in 2021, what has this team achieved in 15 years? Nothing. They participate in ICC events to beat associate teams and get battered by bigger teams."
