Inni samfunnsøkonomer er det to ulver. en som vil løpe og gå på ski mens KI fikser papers og en som oppriktig mener at den er den eneste ulven som skjønner noe som helst og derfor aldri vil gjøres overflødig.

Bech Holte forholder seg ikke til faglig kritikk- svarer jo aldri på den. Men vet likevel best ved å tegne grafer på frihånd. Det kunne jo vært fristende å stemple han som er sjarlatan.

Bech Holte slår effektivt ben under sitt eget prosjekt
Martin Bech Holte forholder seg til data som fanden leser bibelen. Det er synd, fordi det ødelegger det som kunne vært en konstruktiv debatt om hvordan Norge bør se ut.

New working paper! *Female labor force participation in historical census microdata*, available at EHES:

. Female labor force participation is well measured in the Norwegian 1910 Census, and the available micro data is well suited for economic analysis (with some caveats).
