I’ve got a new working paper with @danielavidart.bsky.social, hot off the press. We develop a new method for measuring the risk preferences of agents in the past, and apply it to the U.S. from 1890-1920.
Check it out! Feedback is welcome.

Hell yeah: humpback whale songs exhibit complex statistical patterns identical to human language. Zipf’s Law strikes again!
Love this paper and this agenda. Can’t wait until we can have full-on conversations with whales. I bet we’re about 10-20 years away from that at this point.

Are risk prefs just complexity prefs? No. But the two types of prefs interact, as we find in tinyurl.com/43c5j4b5.
The key cite here is Puri (2024).
Preregistering a bet: when the dust settles on this Q, we’ll find that *dynamic* interactions b/w risk & complexity prefs drive the static patterns.

Every single pro-Palestinian activist that participated in the anti-Dem Gaza war info op in the run up to the 2024 elections was a Useful Idiot. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_...
Block me if it’s too painful to admit, but it won’t change the truth one bit. You were had. Stop listening to Tik Tok!

The ceasefire is Good News for all, but if you read just the NYT you would think it was a boon only for Palestinians.
This war & the broader regional conflict 10/7 sparked have killed thousands & displaced tens of thousands of Israelis. They have left deep scars on Israel’s body & psyche as well.

The First Best time to read this brilliant paper was when it came out last year.

I seem to be doing pretty well so far! I think most students appreciate the level of rigor and engagement I bring to the smelting process.

Scary stuff. The case for international regulation (and likely an outright ban on the research) here is quite strong, imo.

I’ll take Stale Data over No Data any day of the week, Rich
Let’s see your comeback to that, Mr. Anarchist Librarian. I would have thought it would be the clearest to you, *of all people*, that Fascists Burn Books Early and Often.
Gotta be more Bayesian, man.

Heck yeah, Renee Bowen is here too!
#EconSky: Renee should be a day one follow for y’all, ESPECIALLY if you’re interested in Theory and Political Economy.
