Hey

UCSC Econ has two open positions, one in applied micro and another in macro/monetary. Assistant or Associate for both. We have a great department, the campus is stunning, and don't get me started on the weather. Links to follow. Fiat Slug!

Sometimes a negative result is just a negative result, but it has a message. I promise,

and I looked everywhere. And the finding is not at odds with the literature. Hope it prompts more research on the topic and some data collection!
Multinational firms do not seem to incorporate climate risks in their location decisions, at least not until recently. Firm-level emission information is crucial to such analysis, from

Was just reviewing proofs. A copyeditor deleted the word "current" from "current account". You know... "U.S. account deficit and Chinese account surplus." Why oh why... They also asked for page numbers for an online publication.
The main lesson to me from the

This is a great idea. Can someone speaking Spanish draft such a letter? I will sign. Given the number of responses to
@AlexMasPton
post, so will many others.
I was blessed to have Andreu as a colleague at Harvard. It seems to me that economists in the US, ROW and even Spain would be more than willing to sign an open letter to the government protesting this travesty.

1. To be able to think about policies that can improve some lives without hurting others.
2. To understand unintended effects of policies.
3. You are nerdy enough to enjoy looking for patterns in the data that can teach you how economic systems at various scales work

It's the mining that takes power. Time for international regulation on how blockchain products can be mined? There are much less socially expensive algorithms... Or... price the energy properly?

#CarbonTax
Is Bitcoin worth it?
Bitcoin is socially wasteful and practically useless
It is consuming electricity equivalent to the entire power consumption of Pakistan, a country of 200M+
And what use does it offer? Practically none. Its value only represents speculative craze.
Sustainability and climate risk are discussed front and center at the CEBRA annual meeting this year. You can find the live stream link here

I actually agree. The obit makes him sound ideological and one-dimensional. Nothing about the multitudes of economists he mentored and the breadth of his academic influence. But.. perhaps, demand-driven writing. Or just lazy research..

I think merit reviews are less frequent... That's a tangible benefit. The rest depends on your cost-benefit evaluation of influence in the university vs. work it takes to have it.

I realized about 20 years ago (after reading a bad article on something I knew about) that not having authors' names is a problem - you can't separate good authors from bad and don't know which articles to trust. So I haven't trusted any in 20 years. Not surprised.
The geopolitical argument for reducing reliance on fossil fuels and their sources has never been stronger. This cannot be done overnight, but at least needs to be set as a goal.

My solution - mini-quiz (as a zoom poll) at random times. Today's opening poll was: "True or false: if we had mini-quiz last time it means we won't have one today" (hint: false). Each mini-quiz 1% of the grade. They are awake behind those squares....
