Chair Powell’s testimony was short and sweet and confirms a 25bp rate cut is coming in July. Rather than weaker US data, the dual motivations for recalibrating policy are taking out insurance against developing downside risks and persistently muted inflation pressures. #FOMC 🍭

Fascinating new paper on motivated reasoning. "Motivated reasoning leads people to become more polarized, less accurate, and more overconfident in their beliefs about [economic and social issues]." scholar.harvard.edu/files/mthaler/…

Great thread - VC is indeed tiny (about 0.5% of US GDP), but VC-backed companies punch well above this weight: about 1/3 of total employment; nearly 2/3 of US market capitalization and about 85% of total R&D spend.

One of the best things I’ve done for my career: found people in my role at other companies who’re amazing, befriended them, then meet regularly to share what we’re learning.

I have finally completed the creation of a national dataset of property transactions (Zillow Ztrax) merged with HMDA (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act) homebuyer data for 1995-2016. This is a great dataset to observe the income and race of people moving into neighborhoods. 1/2

Teams often use bad metrics to hype themselves up to investors, yes, but they also use them to lie to themselves. 👇 Thread.

Here's an insane fact about today's stock market rally: "Wednesday was the first time ever, according to data compiled by Bloomberg that stretches back to 1990, in which more than 500 stocks in the S&P 500 finished positive..." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
