Great op-ed by @jenniferdoleac.bsky.social in the NYT on how to reduce crime. I believe this could help countries in LATAM focus resources on policing with great returns. #crime #LATAM #EconSky

Mentoring is one of the hardest tasks, I feel. On one hand, you need to guide people; on the other, you want them to have a free spirit and pursue what feels like their own.

Today's Fed announcement on rates is crucial for developing countries. A rate cut will ease debt service, reducing fiscal stress and improving budget balance. What are your thoughts? #EconSky

Apart from non-linear effects, fixing references on latex should be a top priority for economists and open ai. Imagine LLM failing because references were not correctly specified.🫨
