Had a fantastic time at the Econ Dept @universitetsmuseet.bsky.social Loved the thoughtful and open culture, and it was a joy to share/debut my work on preferences for #XAI explainable AI. And yes — I even caught sunny Bergen, so clearly I was spoiled ☀️🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

Truly amazed by the inspiring culture at @lusemlu.bsky.social — such a warm and engaging department! Thrilled to share my work on opt-in/opt-out, and I can’t wait to visit @lund-university.bsky.social again soon!! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

🚨 Live from Stanford! 🚨 @alroth.bsky.social at the APKD Palo Alto Summit on Extending Kidney Exchange. Incredible progress happening in #India, #Brazil & beyond on kidney & liver exchange, plus donor-initiated chains. Huge developments —the future is saving more lives. #KidneyExchange

R.I.P. Peter Temin - besides his well known work in economic history he has also contributed to pharmaceutical market design “Nationally, if we keep the current structure, in 50 years only hedge fund managers will be able to afford prescription drugs.”

North Dakota offers a rare natural experiment in #pharmacy #marketdesign/competition: no Walgreens/CVS, and min #PBM vertical integration. A 1963 law fostered decentralized mkt shaping 💊 access. A counterfactual worth watching. Interviewed by @TheHustle thehustle.co/originals/th...

Excited to have my first paper appearing soon in REStud - five years in the making! Paul Milgrom and I show how to extend Walrasian mechanisms to nonconvex markets - with only one additional parameter needed to assure existence. Also Paul’s first REStud paper, if you can believe it!

The @nytimes.com says: "The Bull Market for Economists Is Over." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/b.... But Oxford Econ Dept & Nuffield College continue to offer their prestigious 3-year postdoc in economics! 👏 🎯 Deadline 🚨 30 September 🚨 to get offer by Xmas 🎄: economics.web.ox.ac.uk/nuffield-pos...

The NYT reports this morning on some cases in which Organ Procurement Organizations reportedly pressured hospitals prematurely to declare the death of potential donors. #medicine #transplants marketdesigner.blogspot.com/2025/07/orga...

National Ice Cream Day 2025 is being celebrated today—Sunday, July 20! It’s the third Sunday of July, officially designated by President Ronald Reagan www.mercurynews.com/2025/07/16/n...

Colossal Biosciences has announced it is exploring ways to revive the moa, which went extinct some 600 years ago. But the company’s suggestion that the project has the support of New Zealand’s Indigenous Māori groups has stirred controversy.

A first-in-kind case shows successful on-table reanimation of a pediatric heart from donation after circulatory death, offering a promising method to expand the donor pool for infants awaiting heart transplants. Read the full report: nej.md/4nVvVky #MedSky #Surgery #CardioSky

Things I look forward to: 🎬 The next Miyazaki film 📄 The next Raj Chetty paper One builds magical worlds. The other quietly drops PDFs that upend what we thought we knew about inequality.

“Put (in) the hours. Unless you put a lot of effort, hours, sometimes sleepless nights. Because you are passionate about something.” Love that @dacemoglumit.bsky.social emphasized this. As a grad student, I tried to work no less than my own advisors, and then more. m.youtube.com/watch?v=nqeF...

[email protected] coverage lacks nuance about cold time & transplant ctr incentive to use organs. Expedited placement for organs turned down serially is a good idea - just needs a better #marketdesign to support their placement down the list efficiently/fairly. #econsky www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

NIH slashes overhead payments. A 🔑?: “One question … is whether researchers who can no longer claim certain costs as indirect could roll them into the direct costs of their research.” Could this empower investigators + makeup budget $ for Universities? www.science.org/content/arti...

🚨 Oprea (2024 AER) argued that prospect theory choice anomalies were not due to risk, but due to complexity-driven mistakes. But this new analysis convinces me that Oprea (2024) is substantially wrong. In my opinion, the paper should be retracted.

A kidney transplant earns hospitals $1/4M+ right away & saves the health system millions. Donation is costly even in the lead-up (multiple visits). We need to take better care of our living donors (imagine how a hospital treats a donor who walks in with a $250K check…) www.healio.com/news/nephrol...

Perverse incentives inefficiently reduce both organ recovery and beneficial transplantations. Rewarding TCs and OPOs together for health outcomes in their entire patient pool’ll save lives (w/ @alroth.bsky.social)

Do the current regulations governing transplant centers and organ-procurement organizations incentivize the reduction of organ recovery and transplantation? This article from the Journal of Political Economy argues, "Yes." Find out why here: ow.ly/UzEF50Uycao #EconSky

Flyout season! (1) research whoever you’ll meet & their work (ask for list, if not finalized ask for tentative schedule); (2) act professional with everyone (students, admin, faculty), everybody talks to everybody; (3) be genuinely excited #econbluesky #econsky - I’m very pumped to meet everyone!
