I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...

How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it

I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

the reason its bad to run universities like businesses is that almost all businesses fail on any reasonable timeline of evaluation.

They claim financial exigency, but then turn down $4 million pledges to keep the PhD programs open and disregard financial analyses that point to the real problem—bad real estate deals, spending on consultants, and their own salaries 2/2

V interesting. Lessons to be learned from this program. UK DTI (as was) took British managers to visit Japanese factories in 1990 to transfer back their management skills.

M Giorcelli, Y Higuchi, Y Takayasu, & M Tanaka study the Japanese Productivity Program, a joint US-Japanese initiative to transfer American management & industrial knowledge to Japan after WWII. The programme helped firms grow in scale & management sophistication.

This figure shows the composition of job titles of Japanese participants in the study-trip programme in the US in each year between 1955 and 1966

Following WWII, Japan experienced three decades of rapid productivity growth and convergence with the US. This column studies the Japanese Productivity Program, a joint US-Japanese initiative to transfer American management and industrial knowledge to Japan. Overseas study trips were a key part of the programme, allowing Japanese managers, engineers, and union representatives to observe modern American factories, offices, and management systems firsthand. It finds that the programme helped firms grow in scale and management sophistication, laying the foundation for future productivity improvements, which made Japan a leader in industrial efficiency by the 1980s.

Will eating less meat and dairy reduce greenhouse gas emissions? - Economics Observatory

Eating less meat and dairy will almost certainly reduce emissions. What is less certain is where emissions will fall.
