my fundamental position on this FIFA tries every tournament to develop a power structure so heinous, a fan experience so maddening, a revenue plan so exploitive that it will ruin the World Cup and they never succeed. the football always wins. I'm not exactly happy about it? but it's consistent.

So weird: there's more than one scammy memorial site inviting donations or tree-planting in my dad's memory. We are not asking for that, but if people feel moved, donations in lieu of flowers to www.aclu-mn.org, www.aclu.org, or www.eff.org Econ folks, can you help get the word out?

My colleagues at HBS and I are looking for predoctoral researchers, starting Summer 2026! The ideal candidate recognizes that the traditional RA role in econ research is obsolete with coding agents, yet loves econ so much that they want to learn how to do it with new tools. 1/2

De Blasio's head has been replaced by a poorly cropped headshot of Ange Postecoglou, his name has been replaced by "Postecoglou", and the word "mayor" has been replaced by "Manager"

At Princeton's holiday party in 2023, I recorded a version of "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" with the lyrics changed to "Kate Ho is the Best Advisor." I still feel that way. I couldn't have asked for a better advisor. I can't believe she's gone.

The brilliant Kate Ho has passed away. She was an amazing economist and a genuinely kind human being. Her work shaped how we think about healthcare markets and her generosity touched everyone lucky enough to know her. The profession and the world are poorer without her.

Collusion doesn't just happen in smoke-filled rooms. It can be out in the open in earnings calls. New research uses NLP on 300k+ transcripts to spot the language that firms use to coordinate publicly. Regulators can use this tool to detect anticompetitive behavior. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
