At DFW. @Avis quoting 2 hour wait times for cars *to people who already have reservations.* There are over 10 kiosks but only 3 staffed. They must be knowingly overbooking!

A perfect topic for the clean energy chapter of this year's Economic Report of the President: structural change. Congrats to @kyle_c_meng @jonasnahm @hboushey46 @econjared46 etc.

Ch 6, Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition, applies a structural change framework to explain the factors that can accelerate the transition towards a clean energy economy. https://t.co/80pEom57MA

Many years of work by many CEA climate teams made the Memo posted today possible. Building on the great @ClimateFran @andrewjswilson @noahqk @DannyBressler1. Better models -> better policy -> brighter climate future.

CEA published a blog on “the global clean energy manufacturing gap.” That is, the gap in 2030 between projected global manufacturing capacity and the manufacturing capacity necessary to stay on track for net zero by 2050. Recent U.S. laws reduce this gap in three ways. 1/

Last year I rewrote the bar scene from Good Will Hunting, except that Clark is a finance PhD student.

Favorite autocorrect I’ve found is “eigenvalues” —> “wife values”

As the field of econometrics has grown, the average econometrician has gotten more normal

No scarier words in the English language than “Hint: use the envelope condition”

To be clear I still thought it was dumb to take him out. It was 70 pitches into a 2 hitter lol

If @Jomboy_ really wanted to prove that Mookie hits better against a pitcher the 3rd time (or that Snell pitches better 3rd time), he should use the same table, but restrict all the rows to games in which he faced a starting pitcher 3 times (I will after this midterm lol)

But this falls victim to the same bias. The pitcher only stayed in to face him a 3rd time if he was pitching really well. Mookie hitting him hard the 1st and 2nd times directly contributed to not facing him a 3rd time
