Applications to the Masters & PhD at @cemfi.es are now open. Today, Friday 29 Nov at 3pm CET we are holding an online information meeting for prospective students. Sign up here: bit.ly/3CGlXAb

I asked today in the lecture who had seen Minority Report. Out of 50 students, two raised their hand. What is going on? Am I condemned to never having any example that my students can understand?

On an LSE gym treadmill, in full running gear, pretty happy with my pace. A guy comes next to me dressed in chinos, formal shirt and cardigan, and starts running way faster than me. I think that he cannot possibly keep it on, and I’m right: after five minutes, he takes off his cardigan.

Working on Ryan Kellogg's episode. The reason for the paper is essentially this spike. Leasing firms are forced to drill before they would like to because of clauses in the contracts that they sign with subsoil owners. Why do these clauses exist if they seem to generate inefficiencies?

Reposting here the second episode. This paper ended up in the AER, and you can tell. Episode 2: Julia Shvets on Overconfident Managers - The Visible Hand. www.thevisiblehand.uk/episodes/epi...

I am trying to set up a starter pack for Podcasts in Economics. I want to cover podcasts of interest to academics, or academic-adjacent listeners. Not Podcasts that tell you whether the stock market is going to go up or down, but podcasts that broadly cover academic research. Any suggestions?

My mother has been asking me, my whole life, why if I am an economist I don’t study unemployment and inflation. Now my youngest daughter has started doing the same.

In the next episode, Ryan Kellogg will discuss why contracts in the gas industry include deadlines by which the leasing firm needs to start the drilling. #EconSky

I am going to re-advertise the podcast episodes in this platform. At the rate of one episode per day, I will be done in less than three months!
