What if the last few years have been an elaborate conspiracy by economists to prove that their 101 textbooks are actually correct?
I have had a full day of editing academic papers. One thread that connects every paper is that they give advice to policymakers. Another thread that connects each one is that they all ignore the scaling aspect of the policymaker problem. We can do better! An easy start is…
I'm not quite sure how to articulate this, but I feel we need to do a better job of teaching econometrics students how to ask coherent questions. This post is not mainly prompted by the advent of AI, as I've been thinking about it since I started spending time on statalist.

In 2024, global military spending reached its highest level in decades— Global military spending reached its lowest point of $1.2 trillion in the late 1990s. Since then, military spending has more than doubled, reaching $2.7 trillion in 2024. The chart shows a drop in military…
If anti-Catholicism was heavily punished as “phobia”, we’d never have the Reformation. If anti-Christianity was strictly policed, no Enlightenment. If anti-patriarchy got jail, Feminists would be silenced. Britain’s spirit of intellectual inquiry is premised on free speech.
