Not sure if there is more than this, and I think it's rooted in its charter as "nonpartisan". I don't think it's an actual constraint on research but it is a constraint on explicit advocacy

Unsurprisingly, it's mostly a shrug here except for a few people who pretend it is ok. I'll add another one in this genre that made my jaw drop.

Ok, the infantilization of college students has gone too far. Now there is a parents' union?

I have to admit that Hormuz is a very clever design that keeps things interesting. Kudos to Slartibartfast. You can't convince me that it was an accident.

I don't have five minutes to read it, but in my personal case I'm pretty sure that the biggest factor influencing it would be just watching it

'My papers say what I have researched. And therefore neither I nor my papers have any more to say. I am a researcher, not a speaker. Do you hear me? Actually, if you're going to interview anyone, you can interview my papers. If you don't find an answer there, then that's your own fault.'

We're organizing a conference to honor life and work of Shlomo Yitzhaki (he passed away in 2023). He made major contributions to work on inequality and tax policy design, in economics and statistics. He was also my co-author and friend👇 Please consider submitting and attending!

In the alternative universe, America in the early 1980s (disastrous 1970s, back to back recessions, high inflation, Iran's hostage crisis, crime, drugs, HIV epidemic starting up, freshly elected president who ran against the system) was doing well

I was aware of this case and it was indeed a very dumb one to criminally prosecute, but I still wonder if Trump thinks he has the power to grant him the FKT (fastest known time), the claim that was rejected as the result of this debacle? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/w...

Soccer is a globalist sport and it is hard to imagine an organization better equipped than FIFA in navigating corruption. Trump stands no chance.

You might sneer at that, but you should not. He has in fact unparalleled expertise on using language that incites violence and terrorism.
