Very happy to see this WP being released !!! I have learnt so much (and continue to do so) from working on it, both from the research itself and from my amazing coauthors. Here a quick thread if you want to know more about the « Gravity of Violence »:

Please spread the word: we're hiring a Globalization Pre-doctoral Fellow to work with me on research, take classes, and participate in the vibrant Dartmouth trade community. Great for those interested in getting a Ph.D. Apply here: https://t.co/hEblHYVhQa @DartmouthEcon

tom sargent is 82 and published a new textbook this on dynamic programming methods in python bruh

I know I’m late to congratulate Joel Mokyr here on X, but I have a good excuse. When I opened my iPhone this morning and saw the announcement, I was so happy that I literally forgot my laptop at home (and I don’t have a computer in my office). For the first time in 24 years, I

The real answer is that it’s a space-filling curve, which is the natural consequence of any surface of dimension n growing within a topological space of higher dimension. This, specifically, occurs because a 2-manifold (the cortex or cabbage sheaves) begins to grow within a

Was hoping to discuss with him during my stay at Dartmouth, but such a wonderful choice by the WTO!!!

We develop a stochastic macro-climate model to analyze the influence of climate change on asset returns. Quasi-analytical formulas allow to price various types of long-dated assets, including fixed-income products, derivatives, and equities. https://t.co/H6hqcRtnPW

[Reading Group IP week 1] Today, we started with Murphy, Schleifer, Vishny, 1989 JPE paper, "Industrialization and the Big Push". It asks why some countries have successfully industrialized while others haven't. They revisit the "Big Push" theory by Rosenstein-Rodan and build a

Great to see this published with @chris_d_clayton @JSchreger @GCAProject. It was tremendous intellectual fun to create it. If you want to watch a short presentation:

Nice interview with a point I care about. The difference between macroeconomic and geoeconomic significance of alternative payment systems being developed. Suppose China's payment system becomes 10% of world volume even when not involving China. US controlled systems will still

From @TheEconomist today: "How scared should you be of “the China squeeze”? "For a chokehold to be effective, a country must have a near-monopoly on supplying a particular good or service, says Matteo Maggiori of Stanford University. “Sanctioning power is non-linear, which means

Now published online (In Press): (Market) power is (political) power! The pressure of declining competition on democracy

New paper. We analyze tariffs, export controls, and sanctions using AI and corporate text. Including the ongoing trump trade war.

CNRS is opening an interdisciplinary tenure track position (CPJ) at the crossroads of economics and statistical physics (and also science of information processing). Among host laboratories is the CERGIC/EqCo at the ENS de Lyon.

Coming back to Japan and my post yesterday about my work with @King_ofSweden on Japan. Let’s try a simple exercise. Take Japan’s demographics as given (more on this below). Now, assume GDP per working-age adult (or per hour worked; same result) had grown from 1991 to 2019 at the

I am going to print this, put it up on my wall, and look at it when any situation looks utterly hopeless.
