Platforms als Google en Amazon tonen vaak resultaten die niet gewenst zijn voor de gebruiker. Waarom gebeurt dat, terwijl de technologie gebruikers juist steeds beter zou moeten kunnen bedienen? esb.nu/verdienmodel...

When firms aren’t allowed to hire low-skill foreign workers, they don’t hire more Americans. They produce less, invest less, and shrink, with the sharpest effects in rural areas, say researchers at @jhu.edu and @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/imm...

Winning the visa lottery
Evidence from a US government lottery shows that restricting foreign low-skill workers shrinks businesses without creating jobs for Americans.

Here,👇we show that enshittification arises if platforms receive a share of seller revenue. Sellers care about rents and rents go down if buyers receive many good offers. The more efficient web search is, the stronger the incentives of platforms are to recommend less what the buyer is looking for.

Physics Paths xkcd.com/3155/
Vertical comic structured like flow chart. (1) Einstein had an insight that overturned physics, thus proving his value. (2) I hope *I* have value. I’ll try to have an insight that overturns physics, to check. (3) [Time Passes] (4) Oh no! My insight didn’t overturn physics! But I don’t think I’m worthless… [arrows to two different options] (5a) Healthy Path: Maybe this was not a well-thought-out test of my value. (5b) Path of Ruin: The establishment must be *suppressing* my insight!

Economic outcomes often depend on the distribution of some maximum value (e.g. the highest valuation, best idea, or lowest cost). If the average number of options is large, do such outcomes change when some agents have more options than others? 1/ A thread about this paper 🧵

How do firms search for and screen workers? When do the best workers match with the best firms?

Replication Crisis xkcd.com/3117/
4-panel comic. (1) [Person 1 with ponytail flanked by person with short hair and another person speaking into microphone at podium] PERSON 1: In the early 2010s, researchers found that many major scientific results couldn’t be reproduced. (2) PERSON 1: Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if today’s studies have become more robust. (3) PERSON 1: Unfortunately, our replication analysis has found exactly the same problems that those 2010s researchers did. (4) [newspaper with image of speakers from previous panels] Headline: Replication Crisis Solved

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Bond Sell Off Raises Questions About U.S. Safe Haven Status
As the fallout from President Trump’s global trade war spreads, investors are even fleeing U.S. Treasuries.

Trump’s claim that this is just temporary pain and that the stock market is going to boom is silly. Markets are forward looking and if investors would have believed Trump’s claim , stock prices would not fall now.

Recently Yann Calvó López and I wrote two long blog posts where we detail how vulnerable modern supply networks are. A trade war triggered by Trump's chaotic tariffs is the same type of aggregate shock as the Covid crisis, but worse. 2/ www.noahpinion.blog/p/americas-s...

In publicly dismissing Zelensky as a negotiator who "has no cards," our POTUS has deliberately acted to undermine confidence in the elected President of Ukraine, and in doing so could do more to undermine democracy in Ukraine than 1000 Russian missiles. How can this serve US interests?
