To young scholars: Publication process is highly imperfect. 25 years ago Atila Abdulkadiroglu and I received the following rejection of our school choice paper due to concerns on "applications". 4 years later it was published in the AER, triggering Boston school choice reform +
Small observation on research trajectory in economic theory. When you first try to do it, most projects you propose are (i) ridiculous/uninteresting to experts or (ii) trivial or, often, both! This phase is very difficult and it's a big thrill to escape it. 1/
It’s hard to tell when an employee quiet quits. After all, what if some malevolent demon of the utmost power and cunning has employed all his energies in order to deceive me?

It started mediocre then has gotten progressively worse to the point of embarrassment and shamefulness. I vote that @ScienceMagazine just unplug social science from their journal.

Yes, and the research you see in grad school is also the "finished product." It's top 1% in quality, and at the end of the production process. It makes grad students a brutal audience, but it also makes you feel helpless because you have an improper benchmark for your own work.
I have some thoughts on this fine statement by @Yale President Peter Salovey regarding desire by some students to impose "ideological litmus test" for access to a shared Yale space. Salovey said: “Those protestors asked individuals who wished to pass through or enter their…

china had one day of small youth protest in late 2022, that resulted in most of the handful of students that protested being arrested and many of them have disappeared. theguardian.com/world/2023/feb…
Can we just imagine if China or Russia had snipers on roofs pointing at 19 year old protestors?
the fact that the only place these sorts of symbols survive in the US is in elite college protest encampments is informative about their general population reach, IMO. Basically an admission of lack of any real political power of US “communism” (Leninism, really) at this point.
🧵(1) I was inside the massive UCLA encampment. There is communist symbolism EVERYWHERE
once again economists don't get cocky, just because the quality of our critics is thus (abysmal), doesnt mean there's no important reform we need
@besttrousers I am laser-focused on a single scalar, uniquely obsessed with a single quantity, which ties everything together. That number? 69,420.
@besttrousers If only economists could handle multiple variables, say representing different commodities (hey - even at different dates, places, or states of the world), maybe put them together into a vector, and study how they interact.
How are people invited to do podcasts about inflation and they never think "huh, I should probably read the inflation report this month".

What's great about this is that if you tried to talk to a non-very-online economist, they would have no idea what you were saying (so they can't refute it).
