Fantastic news!

@lisakramer.com did i send you this one already? youtube.com/shorts/k1gFo...

(Not exactly a named invention but…)

From @elliswonk.bsky.social on today’s @planetmoney.bsky.social Indicator “So what do you do for a living?” -“I’m on the Joint War Council” “Is that part of the Joint Chiefs staff? National Security Council?” -“Close, maritime shipping insurance industry” www.npr.org/2025/06/24/1...

Randomistas: what's your go-to method for analyzing mechanisms underlying treatment effects in RCTs? I recall this method from polisci for estimating a "controlled direct effect" but haven't seen it much in RCTs. #econsky doi.org/10.1017/S000...

I'd love to fund studies of interventions that reduce real-time pollution exposure, in the US, on outcomes related to violence and criminal behavior. (There is strong evidence that such exposure increases violence in real time; the next question is how much interventions can mitigate this effect.)

Beautiful thread, John once again improving our feeds

@peterevansguv.bsky.social hope you’re having a sunny and funky weekend youtu.be/ZSuOgZoB9tA

It’s good that I learned some economics because when my kids complain about why *they* have to empty the dishwasher I launch into a lecture above comparative advantage until it’s painful enough they they give up and empty the dishwasher

Closest I’ve come to dying (that I know of) was exactly this, in a lake for a swimming test at Boy Scout camp. The other 13 yr olds in a rowboat who were supposed to be watching the kids taking the swimming test had no idea I was in distress and I had no ability to call for help.

The impact of US foreign aid cuts on global health: a CEPR book chapter with Justin Sandefur. Despite pledges from the Secretary of State to protect life-saving interventions, we estimate that USAID program cancellations to date would lead to between 500,000 and 700,000 deaths.

Well, this ended in an unexpected place (dunno what I was realistically expecting)

I heard they first tried to get Chris Udry to do it but he was out of town @cobrienudry.bsky.social
