Looking back on a difficult year in some ways, I also realize it has been exceptionally good for my research/publications, with many things falling into place.
So, I just wanted to express deep, pure gratitude to editors and referees involved in those processes: thank you!

It's called "blind review" because sometimes the reviewer is literally blind to what the paper actually does.

I think he misuses the word "intuition". Intuition is what comes after you have done the math. The "intuition" people have without math is just a hunch (the elaborated version of which is actually BS). So I'd say no intuition without math.

I have compiled a very imperfect preliminary list of monetary/macro people I’ve found so far on this site.

Trump is waiting for the winner of Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul to decide whom to nominate as new CEA Chair.

Quick, someone please compute a Kardashian index based on Bluesky followers so I can look like a serious academic.

Incredible graph. I reposted it and @fvelde.bsky.social made a very astute observation: why is it not exactly symmetric around (0,0)?

Florin Bilbiie @florinbilbiie.bsky.social · Nov 10

good catch! It kind of is, which is why--having looked but superficially--I saw no red flag. But it is true there is a difference, and I wonder if there's some funky re-weighing going in the background, or what drives that. Perhaps the original poster could chip in.

Hard to overstate just how rapid the changes in US party coalitions have been.

The Democrats are now the party of high education *and* high income voters. Just 12 years ago, the inverse was true.

On these terms, the Trump coalition was closer to Obama 2008 than the Harris one!

Wait, where's all the soft-porn and self-sabotage recipes?

This election is really a reckoning for me about my social media bubble. I can't wait to move to this new social place with the rest of my academic network and no one else.

Is this the place to escape X propaganda, with its side servings of soft-porn, dumb "self-help", "masculinity" recipes and crypto ads?
I so miss old Twitter on which I was mainly for discussing and keeping up with economics/research, with the occasional banter and humor.
Hope to find that back here!
