Shakira es a los Mundiales lo que Mariah Carey es a la Navidad.

📫 New paper alert! Long before online learning, there was learning by mail. I use newly digitized records from the International Correspondence Schools to show this alternative pathway expanded access to education, and reshaped who selected into traditional schooling.

One week left to submit to WIE!!!! Send us your best work!

Las boletas para Colombia-Portugal están más caras que las de Super Bowl. El @WSJ dice que los tiquetes para este partido, el más atractivo de la primera ronda sin incluir a los anfitriones, empiezan en US$ 2.500 y van hasta una insensata e incomprensible cifra de más de US$ 5 millones. En La Florida vive medio millón de colombianos y parece que todos quieren estar en el Hard Rock Stadium este 27 de junio. La reventa de ese partido es solo comparable en demanda y precios con el encuentro inaugural de México. En este momento, en Ticketdata es el segundo partido más costoso luego de la final. Y en otras páginas se consiguen boletas por $11,5 millones para categoría 1. Increíble. wsj.com/sports/soccer/… ticketdata.com/performer/worl…

Highly relevant! "The impact of stablecoins on the international monetary and financial system" by Iñaki Aldasoro, Jon Frost, and Hiro Ito. "Widespread use of stablecoins could have an important impact on the international monetary and financial system, particularly for emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). Using the framework of international currency functions to analyse their effect, we argue that stablecoins are most likely to affect private sector store of value and medium of exchange roles, particularly in economies facing macroeconomic instability. Given that approximately 98% of stablecoins' value is dollar-denominated, they are likely to initially reinforce existing currency hierarchies. We develop three scenarios to explore the range of potential outcomes. In niche adoption, impacts remain contained within crypto ecosystems. Digital dollarisation poses acute risks to monetary sovereignty in EMDEs through rapid currency substitution. Domestic stablecoin integration could harness efficiency gains while preserving policy autonomy, but it requires significant regulatory capacity. The ultimate trajectory will depend on adoption patterns, regulatory responses and the interplay with other forms of digital money." bis.org/publ/bppdf/bis…

Highly relevant! Market structure distortions can have significant macroeconomic effects "How Costly Are Cartels?" by Flavien Moreau and Ludovic Panon. "We study the cost of cartels in an oligopoly model with heterogeneous firms, endogenous markups, and collusion. ...ductive industries may decrease aggregate productivity by up to 0.4% and welfare by up to 0.7%. We also find that standard competitive oligopoly models may understate the cost of markups by about 20%." American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics aeaweb.org/articles?id=10… Working paper: imf.org/-/media/files/…

Very excited to share this. One of the big challenges in studying geoeconomics is measuring how firms respond to pressure. The new GCAP Geoeconomic Monitor uses earnings calls + LLMs to track firm exposure and responses to tariffs, sanctions, and export controls in real time.
