I use this exact example in my very first ECON 101 lecture. I now have AV content.
DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?
LUTNICK: Generally 10%
DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%
LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff
DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Having found in my masters thesis that high testosterone individuals prefer being seen as winners even if it means losing money, I had no idea we're talking *that* much money.
If you're a hedge fund manager and want to set up an aggressive tesosterone-based trading strategy, hmu!

Conference. Distinguished colleagues; smart, top-of-the-game. Someone drops a "good for the climate" when I say I took the train... I look puzzled. What? There is emissions trading in Europe. Total CO2 is *capped*; net footprint of flights in Europe is ZERO. Same, btw, not true of trains (bec

🚨 New Working Paper 🚨
w/ @pdavidboll.bsky.social and @jvoth.bsky.social
Do you run regressions on spatial data? Then keep reading!
We present a guide and Stata package for methods by Müller and Watson (2024 ECTA) to deal with Spatial Unit Roots in Regressions.

Great work by Lagakos, Michalopoulos, and Voth on personal narratives from 1930s to ask what gives people meaning. Work and community top the list. Neither enters economists' understanding of well-being directly. A big blind spot in how we evaluate policy impacts. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2ej7c...

So pleased my article on geo-coding addresses of 121 million + people in British censuses 1851-1911 is now out with Historical Methods! #openaccess
- map any census info (ages, occupations, birthplaces etc) by address
- link census to other spatial datasets
Get the code and data 👇

What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of life? What would you remember as bringing satisfaction, meaning, and purpose to your life? These are the modest questions that David Lagakos, Stelios Michalopoulos and I try to answer by "interviewing" over 1,400 Americans.
