In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue or at least that's how the rhyme goes. It's time to dive in to Columbus' place in the history of capitalism, why Spain and Portugal were at the forefront of European maritime expeditions, and how they carved up the world.

I'll have to—unfortunately—conclude that "overrated" appears to be a very... underrated term to describe a sizable chunk of the research publicized on #EconTwitter.

It looks like the number Americans who are at least sixty days behind on their car payments just hit an all-time high and the culprit is the resumption of student loan payments. This alone doesn't say the economy is in trouble but it is a very bad indicator.

Talking with a colleague about “unconventional monetary policy” aka Quantitative Easing. 30 years since shift to inflation targeting, and QE has been in the policy mix for 15.

Better to drop “unconventional” and say we have asymmetric monetary policy, with interest rates increases as the contractionary/anti-inflationary instrument and QE +fiscal policy for expansion. #econtwitter

Danielle Wood can rescue the Productivity Commission. But is it worth saving? (quotes me on the failure to increase productivity) #econtwitter https://www.crikey.com.au/2023/09/11/danielle-wood-productivity-commission-chair/

"#Fintech" is a fraudulent marketing term. There's nothing Buy Now Pay Later companies offer that couldn't have been done 100 years ago. They just replace interest with penalties for late payment.

Upton Sinclair described a similar racket in The Jungle (set in 1920s, I think). Home loans with no money down and low interest, but if you miss a single payment you lose everything.

I've been making this point a lot recently, thinking it was original, but @delong posted it more than a year ago. The accelerationist model of inflation from which the NAIRU is derived works only for the 1970s.

Earlier inflations in the 1950s, and the current #inflation don't fit the model at all well, in either US or Australia.

Pre-NAIRU Keynesian understanding of the Phillips curve saw strong aggregate demand as driving both lower unemployment and higher inflation.
In #NAIRU model, transmission mechanism is from (low) unemployment to wages to prices.

The 50-year life of the Productivity Commission (since the IAC replaced the old tariff board coincides with of neoliberalism, and also with my own adult life. I think I have outlived neoliberalism, at least as an intellectually credible ideology. But I'm very tired #econtwitter https://insidestory.org.au/neoliberalisms-child/

It's a real pity that the Fed and other central banks didn't raise their inflation target to 4 per cent (which has nearly been reached) because of spurious concerns about credibility. Now, they will have to admit defeat on the 2 per cent target or risk crashing the whole system. That will do wonders for credibility (sarc off) #econtwitter

The 8th iteration of my #ProgramEvaluation and #CausalInference course is up and live at https://evalsp23.classes.andrewheiss.com/ !

It covers basic econometrics and DAGs, all with #rstats, and it's mostly asynchronous with dozens of hours of videos, and the whole thing is Creative Commons-licensed, so do whatever you want with it! #epitwitter #EconTwitter #statsodon

lol you can't make this up:

This is a selfie with Dr. Wooldridge (known as one modern #econometrics OGs) and BIG FREEDIA, one of the pioneers of NOLA's Bounce music and a frequent collaborator of Beyonce.

And now, I am regretting not going to #ASSA2023. #economics #econtwitter

This year, I published #TheBlackAgendaBook.

I'm really proud of it and all the voices that spoke to issues impacting our country. I'm also indebted to so many for a successful debut. I want to thank anywhere that loans out or sells books, my conversation partners, and all the readers.

One way to support this book is to purchase it by and throughout #BlackHistoryMonth!

I never talk about grades, like ever, but I have to share this because what a testimony:

Y'all. I earned my first 4.0 at #Harvard this semester. I am literally speechless right now. I am frozen in shock.

This means your girl earned an A in LABOR #ECONOMICS taught by THE labor economist.

I can't believe this happening. My dad screamed. I screamed. #econtwitter #academia #academictwitter

My face has been frozen like this for the last 15 minutes:

4) One of the best papers I've ever seen is also one of the best cases for #reparations by Ellora Dereoncourt and coauthors. They document the racial #wealth gap from 1860-2020 and point to what drives the gap and what can close it.

5) Lastly, it's a tie between Fenaba Addo coauthored work on how #studentdebt varies across race, class, and gender and Zachary Bleemer's paper on the long run effects of reversing #AffirmativeAction.

Hi #academia #mastodon and #econtwitter #academictwitter, here are five dope papers I loved this year:

1) Lavar Edmonds finds that students taught by teachers trained at #HBCUs have better outcomes, especially if they're Black.

2) @annastansbury and Robert Schlutz find that #economics is the least socioeconomically and racially diverse major field in #academia.

3) Alex Imas, Aislinn Bohrenn, and @instrumenthull exploring a novel way to isolate systemic #discrimination.
