Very happy to release my new paper with @zackcooperYale @stuartcraig @LevKlarnet: "Is There Too Little Antitrust Enforcement in the US Hospital Sector?" (zarekcb.github.io/HospitalMerger…) In open defiance of Betteridge's Law, our answer is "yes, absolutely." (thread below)
When you read this lovely passage, there is only one person who could possibly have written it.
You can really see the Oxford in him in this paper.

I have trouble choosing between: "This paper is a tragic waste of intellectual potential." And "Page 13 is a riot of parentheses."

Terrible news. A creative and fearless thinker. Our Passover seder discussion this year is focusing on freedom of the will. (Enough with political philosophy.) Some of our readings will be from Dennett. Who knows, perhaps the world will add a few new compatibilists.

Looking forward to this event!
This was a great event. All three finalist teams gave great presentations. The year of hard work that everyone put in was clearly evident. Great job!

Chicago's public pensions, with $35 billion in unfunded obligations, are in the worst shape of any major U.S. city, writes @CrainsChicago. Read a summary of a Harris Policy Innovation Challenge finalist team's proposal: - har.rs/3vBMyva
This is lovely. And a good opportunity to remember what a model of scholarly virtue Bob Powell was. His work exemplifies clear thinking and a commitment to deep understanding of first-order problems. There is no scholar whose career I admire more.

🚨Pleased to announce Bob Powell's final paper published at JTP! 🚨 Model of authoritarian power sharing and the problems of weak institutions. I wrote an accompanying comment. Submitted on behalf of Bob's estate by me, @annemeng_, and Ernesto Dal Bo journals.sagepub.com/home/jtp
I'd like to believe that when people say we should teach statistics in high school they mean Thinking Clearly with Data, which would be a delightful high school textbook. I'd also like to believe they are joking when they say it should replace calculus. press.princeton.edu/books/paperbac…

Everyone knows that the right way to find a research questions is to read the literature from a discipline 1-2 rungs down the prestige ladder from your own and answer their questions "the [insert your discipline here] way."
The 17 year old is heading to college in August. So, to my friends @VandyPoliSci and @VanderbiltEcon, I am available to give a talk, attend a conference, or serve as a discussant absolutely any time.

We’re excited to share that Jeremy M. Weinstein, a renowned scholar of political science, experienced academic leader, and dedicated public servant will become dean of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government on July 1. ken.sc/3UCDH5T
Forcibly pushing people out of a campus space isn’t speech and this sort of behavior should not be tolerated
Crazy scene tonight at Columbia University: Jewish students came to the campus - and then this happened. The undergrad who filmed it told me: “We didn’t say a word. My friend had a Jewish star necklace. All of the sudden we’re surrounded, they’ve been circling us, threatening us”
Daniel Dennett (28th March 1942 - 19th April 2024) RIP Dennett on how to criticise wisely
.. It's from way back - 1981 & reprinted in "The Intentional Stance". Still, I think, his best attempt to steer the Dennettian path through simplistic realism and overmuch instrumentalism about "intentional" mental states. Stands up well after more than four decades. 2/ ....
Thinking about Dan Dennett, who died yesterday after a stupendous career & very rich life. What might be his best ever paper? A candidate: "Three Kinds of Intentional Psychology." A legit scan via Tufts is here: dl.tufts.edu/concern/pdfs/f… 1/
I'm very sad to hear that Daniel Dennett has died. I greatly enjoyed his books Consciousness Explained and Elbow Room, and I hope I won't annoy too many people if I express my opinion that what he said in those books was basically right. 1/
For instance, I agree with him that computers could in principle be conscious (but would be very cautious about making such a claim of an actual computer), and also that free will can be reasonably defined in a way that makes it entirely compatible with determinism. 2/
I briefly met him once, after lunch at Trinity where he had been a guest of Simon Blackburn. IIRC he had been giving a talk on why religion exists: he politely listened to my suggestion that confusing correlation with causation might have had a lot to do with it. 3/
E.g., you do something unusual and soon afterwards it rains. Then the next time you do the same unusual thing it rains again. Occasionally you'll amass quite strong evidence of this kind entirely by coincidence, and from that rituals could naturally develop. 4/
I hadn't managed to get to his talk, which would obviously have been a lot more interesting and sophisticated than my thoughts on the matter. Like many others, I later became a bit disenchanted with the "new atheists" but didn't lose my admiration for Dennett. 5/
(I didn't lose my atheism either -- I just didn't go in for a lot of the other views of the four horsemen, particularly Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins.) 6/6
@ethanbdm I adored Elbow Room (less so Freedom Evolving)
I just learned from his assistant that @danieldennett has passed away. I know he was very controversial to many. But to me he was a teacher and (later) a good friend. I will miss him dearly.
@ethanbdm @steve_tadelis @Berkeley @Columbia Perhaps the issue is that people feel differently about a discussion when it is happening within the group, in this case, among Jews, as opposed to by people outside, especially if there is suspicion of hostility towards the community as a whole.
@ethanbdm I mean forget freedom of speech they gave up even on due process
@steve_tadelis @ethanbdm @Berkeley @Columbia Well, to be fair, this is not material that the school (i.e., faculty or administrators) produced. It's apparently something produced by students. Ofc if this was handed out together with the official material, it's still a problem, but if not, then I'm not sure.
Okay, I'll risk saying it: one thing that is abundantly clear is that 'safety'/'social safety' have become tools to silence speech one disagrees with.
@ethanbdm from what I can see, another missed opportunity by our esteemed academic leaders
