China's heavy industries like steel and aluminum are a huge emissions problem. Yet, they also provide key inputs into China's clean tech sector, like EVs, solar, and wind. Can China create a virtuous cycle of decarbonization? My latest piece: high-capacity.com/p/how-chinas-c…

Annoying that this comes to us from a basically fake pollster, but clearly there is a difference between the commonsense understanding of “permanent ceasefire” (Israelis and Palestinians stop killing each other forever) and what it means as a term of art in this context.
kudos to the harvard harris poll for showing how wording matters here:
@arpitrage Dropping "Expected" from the above sentence is a bit of demagoguery, no? Mostly because you very well know it should be there, but have dropped it for polemic reasons.

Cool paper We have an intuition that "extrapolation" is less reliable than "interpolation", which we might define as, "if it's inside (in the convex hull of) my training data, then it's more reliable" Well, "interpolation" probabilistically never happens in high dimensions

Hospital systems have justified horizontal mergers for years claiming that larger scale will lower costs and raise quality. We now have the 3rd study showing that merged systems, even if in different markets, materially raise prices & don't improve quality measures. via @statnews

A pretty striking graph that shows the effects a Chinese fiscal stimulus that gave "Spend 54, get 18" coupons, which gave MPCs above 1! Doesn't seem to be any evidence of substitution away from other goods or forward in time either. nber.org/papers/w32376
Now confirmed with data. Forbes surveyed managers with hiring authority. When asked whether more/less likely to hire vs 5 years ago: Ivy League: 7% more likely; 33% say less likely Public univs: 42% more likely; 5% less likely Selective privates: 37% more likely; 5% less likely
Anecdotal, but I’ve had several conversations in recent years with people who hire undergrads for highly competitive jobs (tech, finance, consulting etc) that are moving away from the Ivies and towards flagship state universities, citing better cultural and professional fit.

The Jones Act forces the US to take shipbuilding littorally, but not seriously.
Had to blink several times before fully comprehending this. As a long-term result of the Jones Acts «…three of the ten commercial oil tankers selected to ship fuel for DOD as part of the newly enacted Tanker Security Fleet are Chinese-built.» (Via Toozebook)
