The AEA has imposed a lifetime ban on Lawrence H. Summers’ membership and participation in AEA activities. See the full statement here. www.aeaweb.org/news/aea-sta...

This piece I wrote for @theconversation.com argues that the Summers/Epstein debacle reflects what the data show: systemic bias in the economics profession’s practices and culture. That bias influences who succeeds and who is sidelined. #EconSky theconversation.com/larry-summer...

Excellent op-ed from @yanarodgers.bsky.social placing the Summers scandal---and the lifetime ban announced today by the AEA---in context. theconversation.com/larry-summer...

#BREAKING: Former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers will immediately leave his role as an instructor at Harvard while the University investigates his ties to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Dhruv T. Patel and Cam N. Srivastava report.

I have been feeling depressed and discouraged that this man has the power and influence he does at my school and in my profession And I am a tenured professor at Harvard! How much more protected can I be? Imagine how STUDENTS feel. Junior faculty. This quote nails it

CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.

Breaking News: Larry Summers will step down from OpenAI’s board, he said, after the release of emails indicating a close relationship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Harvard has started a new investigation into ties that former Harvard president Larry Summers and others at the university had with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the university announced Tuesday.

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that how Harvard and the economics profession respond to Larry Summers will determine who makes up the next generation of economists. #econsky #news #harvard

I am a serious professional scientist. I am also a commissioner of climate change and have to discuss practical and pragmatic solutions with people who disagree strongly with climate action. I have a calm and optimism-driven approach to climate action. 40 inches of rain is biblically catastrophic.

Really excited for this week’s episode! We (@ajhollingsworth.bsky.social ) talk with ‪@mushfiq-econ.bsky.social‬ on how to work with large organizations and governments to implement research and policy.

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

President Trump’s attempt to fire Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve’s governing board, is his most audacious attack yet on the independence of the central bank. Listen to "The Daily."

Just received this statement from Lisa Cook: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."

Now’s a good time to share one of several recent @planetmoney.bsky.social episodes about the importance of Federal Reserve independence from partisan electoral politics. www.npr.org/2025/04/23/1...

It’s not the revision that got her fired. It’s the weak job growth.

Over one in four (27%) physicians and surgeons at U.S. hospitals, rising to one in three in FL (37%), CA (33%), NY (33%), and TX (31%), are immigrants. Policies aimed at restricting immigration could negatively impact the health and well-being of Americans. @kff.org www.kff.org/racial-equit...

Female PhD students (in economics) benefit tremendously from having female faculty around. When female professors go on leave, it decreases third-year female PhD students’ likelihood of publishing & securing academic positions. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Congestion pricing in NYC has been a runaway success, with a speed and depth that has surprised even its diehard advocates. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

If you encounter what seems like an implausible survey finding, ask: 1. Were survey respondents selected randomly or was this an opt-in poll? 2. Could the results, especially for young adults, be driven by bogus respondents? Keep this post in mind: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Muy fan de la newsletter de Axios. Hoy reflexionan que el 99% del café que consume en EEUU es importado, y el 63% de los adultos declaran consumirlo al diario. De un día para otro su precio subirá. Solo un 10% de los americanos comen huevos a diario, pese a la obsesión de Trump y Vance

The Federal Reserve is not as independent from the executive branch as we’d like to think. The NY Fed just cancelled this Thursday’s @aeacswep.bsky.social reception at #EEA2025 and withdrew from our summer fellowship program. Both support women and underrepresented groups in economics. #EconSky
