AI is a game changer for economic research. We will look back and think: before and after. The junior job market used to place enormous value on technical skills — and rightly so. We wanted to pass on the latest research methods to new PhD students. But the cost of mastering

@DanielBShapiro Dan, I disagree. 1st - This is the most significant effort by a U.S. President to tackle the issue of Gaza - a key impediment to any Israeli-Palestinian peace deal - in more than a decade. President Trump has so far shown incredible commitment to this process 2nd - Biden should

Colombia debe defender el multilateralismo, diversificar su comercio e integrarse más con América Latina y el mundo. La interdependencia no puede ser un arma: debe ser una herramienta de prosperidad, basada en libertad y democracia. @BrownUniversity

Why does this matter? Immigration policy is innovation policy. Countries that attract — and retain — mobile inventors gain a measurable knowledge advantage. The data makes this hard to ignore.

The killer finding: the first patents in a country-technology pair are 2x more likely to be invented by a team with a GMI who has prior experience in that technology. Mobile inventors don't just move. They bring knowledge with them — and that knowledge sticks.

In the 1970s, fewer than 0.5% of patents involved a GMI. By 2015? One in three patents had at least one. The globalization of invention isn't a buzzword — it's the data. 📈

We tracked 4+ million patent inventors across 191 countries from 1976–2025. Result: 691,000+ cross-border movements by inventors who patented in more than one country during their career. We call them Global Mobile Inventors (GMIs).

@AOC a couple of quick fact checks... 1/ Venezuela is ABOVE the equator... 2/ Maduro was not a "head of state," he was an usurper...
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized U.S. policy on Venezuela, saying: “Maduro canceled elections. He was an anti-democratic leader. That doesn’t mean that we can kidnap a head of state and engage in acts of war just because the nation is below the equator.”
