Hi, newsrooms: If you are relying on Columbia-affiliated journalists, namely student professionals in various programs at @columbiajourn, for exclusive, inside-campus coverage of protests and events, it is common (industry) courtesy and standard to compensate them for their work.

This is absurd. It is not consistent with what a university is supposed to be.
Wristbands are being used to identify anti-Israel students at @UCLA so that they are allowed to enter Royce Quad, Royce Hall, and Powell Library. Some students are allowed in and out, others are kept out. This is ILLEGAL and UCLA is not just tolerating it but facilitating it.
In fifty years of observing Indian elections I have never seen such vile and hate-filled rhetoric. Every day the ruling party and its top leaders plumb a new low. It is for Hindus above all to stand up and say: These bigots do not speak in our name.

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/
Just as Joe Stiglitz spills oil on never-extinct debates on markets vs government, a week of discussion has led me to toy with the idea that mechanism design may have essentially resulted in this distinction becoming irrelevant & replaced by an applied focus on "allocation"
Good question young man. The answer is simple: to keep inflation lower than it otherwise would be. See you later in class. 🤓
"If they can just print money then why are they even collecting taxes?"
Complete insanity.
Caroline Fohlin, the Emory professor of economics seen on video being thrown to the ground and handcuffed by an Emory police officer for expressing concern at the violent arrest of a protester on campus, was jailed for 11 hours and charged with... Battery Against Police Officer
@GuthmannR @whyvert PPP per capita is good for comparing individual well being, but adjustment for haircuts being cheap in China doesn't help in comparing countries' economic power in international context and high gdp per capita in Luxembourg doesn't make it economic powerhouse
DC now finally joining the national trend toward fewer shootings.
In addition to MPD data on shootings we also have DC Health data on ER visits for gunshot wounds. For people that distrust reported crime data this is another data point that isn't controlled by MPD. dataviz1.dc.gov/t/OCTO/views/D…
The criminalization of empathy. There is no conceivable justification for this.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
So excited to be part of this amazing group of people being supported by the @OIGInstitute @MinneapolisFed
We are thrilled to announce the 8th cohort of Institute Visiting Scholars! These scholars will pursue research while in residence @MinneapolisFed that helps create a more complete perspective on how the economy performs for all. Welcome! bit.ly/3WaDUi7
The hypocrisy warrants attention. Were the protests interfering materially with the functioning of the university, stopping other students from using the campus, or targeting particular individuals? If not, on what principled basis were they stopped?
This goes in both directions. Many people aren’t consistent; some people are. I think in general we should be reluctant to equate words with violence.
I love how a lot of the people who were saying words aren't violence just a few years ago have now basically reversed their positions because they disagree with the Palestinian cause and find any kind of pro-Palestinian speech threatening.
the teacher did *what*
Absolutely wild story. A Baltimore County principal was seemingly caught on recorded audio making blatantly racist and anti-Semitic comments. After investigation... the audio was fake. AI-generated, in a plot by the school's former athletic director. thebaltimorebanner.com/education/k-12…
People have claimed that there is no evidence to support @JonHaidt's campaign against kids having smartphones. And now this:
New paper from Norway: Banning smartphones in school - significantly decreased doctors visits for psychological symptoms and diseases among girls - reduced bullying among both genders - improved girls’ GPA and attendance rates - largest effect sizes were among the poorest kids
