The Swedish elections are over. Here’a all you need to know. The leader of the establishment right-wing block promised to Hédi Fried, a Holocaust survivor, to never cooperate with the fascist SD. A few years later, he’s forming a government with them. Shameful, and worrying.

Note to self and to all of us. Many many Russians do not support the war or Putin. Many times, speaking out might pose danger to themselves and to their loved ones. We need to keep that in mind when impassively talking about “Russians”.

בכלכלה קוראים לזה העדפה נגלית. נתניהו אמר לנו את התשובה לאורך שנים. מהטיהורים בצמרת המערכות והדרישה לנאמנות אישית, מהשאיפה להשתלט על התקשורת ועל הייעוץ המשפטי (מנדלבליט, זוכרות?) וכמובן הציר האנטי ליברלי שהוא טיפח. איריס לא נותנת לרעש לבלבל אותה. זו הייתה התוכנית שלו כל הזמן.

@antonia_yamin @Nadav_Eyal בכל שפה אפשרית. אסור לשתוק. לא מדובר בעוד ממשלה. זו מתקפה מלאה על ערכים אוניברסליים, ומדינה שעדיין נהנת מפירות החברות במועדון הדמוקרטיות הליברליות חייבת לשלם מחיר על הצעדים האלו. זה מתחיל בהגברת המודעות בעולם למה שנעשה בירושלים.

1/2 As promised: 1. About 60% of @nberpubs WP make it to a journal. 2. An additional 7% end as book chapters. 3. A peak in 2013 with 70% published in journals. 4. Later years are downwards biased, as Econ publishing takes time. But 15% in <1 year + 30 in <2 years is remarkable.

@_kobim הזוי. כשהפרשה פרצה אמרתי ל @LealIris_ שהוא באקדמיה סיים. יתקשה לגייס מימון, דוקטורנטים ופוסטדוקים לא ירצו להתחיל את הקריירה שלהם איתו, ושהג׳ורנלים סימנו אותו. אמרתי לה גם שהתקשורת לא תעניש אותו על זה. על אף זאת, זה כן מפתיע אותי שזה לא מגיע מהתקשורת המסחרית אלא דווקא מזו הציבורית.

Help! How much should it cost to rent a flat (for a couple) in Boston (Harvard square, Somerville, Brookline)? For six months.. I see prices online and don’t know if I should believe it (3500$-4000$ per month 😱)..

Also noticed this striking paper going viral yesterday. @PHuenermund before taking it to the classroom, perhaps a within faculty discussion is called for. Some sort of CSR for business schools.

Very proud to see our (w\ @OEjermo ) opinion about research policy published by one of Sweden’s biggest outlets - @DNDebatt . I’ll post a short 🧵 in English later with our core arguments, as I assume not all here read Swedish.

Many thoughts after this amazing @AOM_TIM plenary session. Must admit, for years I wanted to attend a @DAcemogluMIT lecture, so.. @AOMConnect “making dreams come true”. But man, @maryann_feldman ’s talk blew my mind. Was an academic session, yet I almost got emotional!

Day three of #KID2022 opened with @emiguelez ’s lecture on “migrant investors as agents of technological change”. Who presented several of his works, demonstrating extensive use of patent data to uncover the dynamics of migration and knowledge spillovers. Very interesting!

I cannot recommend this course more. If you’re a PhD student interested in Econ of innovation. Make sure to get a seat. @heidilwilliams_ thanks for rerunning this amazing initiative, allowing PhD students from all over the world to learn from the very best scholars in our field.

Making a lemonade: Universities did not open yet in Israel (bc. War). My sister, a brilliant psychology student, decided she must keep her mind off the war, so asked if I have an idea for something for her to do.. Bottom line: My dad and her are collecting data for my JMP ❤️.

It’s clear to me why the diffusion of knowledge literature focused on STEM fields (economics impact, measurement issues, paper trail). But it’s so surprising to see so little focus on SSH, end economics in particular. Am I missing something?

A horrible attack on Tel-Aviv last night. Horrid pictures and bloodshed. The attack took place meters from my cousin’s studio, who shattered with her partner, luckily they weren’t harmed. Only peace between Israelis and Palestinians will put a stop to this endless suffering.

First day of #KID2022 is almost over. And so far, super good! Adam Jaffe opened with a lecture on innovation measurements, it was followed by a student paper session on gender and science.

Earlier today @SHBaruffaldi presented his fascinating research, on the importance of physical capital for knowledge production. Such a neat model, and an impressive data collection effort. Inspired by ‘superstars extinction’ of @pierre_azoulay and colleagues.

Don't burn down your lab (unless you want a new research direction)! Interesting presentation by @SHBaruffaldi on Lab Disasters and Publications. Results particularly strong for specialized physical capital. @SIEworkshop

Fun personal fact. I was so inspired by the NCA research of @marxmatt @evanpstarr @NormBishara and many others, that I decided to write my master thesis on this topic, with the guidance of @NaomiHausman . Later, when applying to a PhD program, I proposed to study their use and ->

Noncompetes are not just an issue in the US. Check at the work by @AGarnero @Tboeri and @LorenzoLuisetto documenting their use in Italy, where they find that the majority of Italian noncompetes likely wouldn’t be enforceable.

Resisting, and standing up for Israeli democracy, outside the Israel’s embassy in Copenhagen. It was freezing outside, but very heart warming to see and meet others standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters.

@AvishayBSG 1/3 מחבר את התגובות של ש @YaakovChenZion ו @itamarcaspi . ההייטק הישראלי אכן משפיע על שע״ח (עקב זרימה של מט״ח שמחזק את המטבע המקומי) ועל מידת התחרותיות של תעשיות ייצוא אחרות. אבל כפי שציין יעקב, אין סיבה להאמין שזה יגמר בטווח הנראה לעין (להבדיל ממשאבי טבע שלרוב הם סופיים).
