Some authors have contacted AEA editors about an unexpected loss of data access that affects their ability to respond to an R&R. If this affects you, please explain the circumstances in your cover letter. Or reach out to the coeditor if you need guidance before resubmitting. @aeajournals.bsky.social

Recently the President ordered that coal generators don’t need to comply with the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS). My forthcoming JPE paper with Gautam Gowrisankaran and Wendan Zhang on uncertainty surrounding MATS, so it seems like it’s time for a thread! www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

New working paper out! We empirically study improved matching mechanisms for day care, focusing on disadvantaged families (who benefit most). Affirmative action boosts their participation but also increases segregation. #EconSky

#econsky What is, in your opinion, the biggest question IO has credibly settled? Seems most of our contributions are either (a) fancy methods; (b) negative results (e.g. don't regress price on HHI); (c) narrow in scope (yogurts, etc); or (d) contested (have markups actually risen?)

Waarom een Musk misschien nuttiger zou zijn in België dan de VS met onze loonnormwet & loonindexering, wet op sluitingsuren, wet op verkopen met verlies, koopjeswet, vestigingswet voor apothekers, enz… m.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20241...

Is Elon Musk de juiste man op het verkeerde continent? De tsaar van de overheidsefficiëntie kan in België misschien meer nuttig werk verrichten dan in de VS.
