Amazing -- one of a kind -- event and a terrific topic! My own work (not the one I will present at the conference though) speaks directly to it, so looking forward to the conversations!

This is a must-read, but I can't help thinking that more emphasis needs to be placed on the resonance between the pursuit of scientific scale for AI and the underlying and explicit pursuit of business scale at all costs for platforms and investors www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

It is a pleasure to work with Ivan and Bob! still intrigued about many threads we were discussing

Very happy and proud to share my survey on the history and philosophy of market design, I hope I'll be able to do more in the upcoming year, stay tuned, and meanwhile -- read, criticize, and use it for good cause link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Great special issue co-edited by two superb thinkers, amazing stuff there

Okay, this is really needed (following the idea of @ccantore.bsky.social ): name your favourite microeconomic theory papers (at least 25 years old). #historyofmicro #econsky

For the JHI Blog's Forum on political economy, Véronique Mickisch critiques the continued association of "Marxism in practice” with the First Five-Year Plan in the Soviet Union and raises the need to recover the work of Marxist thinkers violently suppressed during the Stalinist purges of the 1930s.

We live in a funny world - this little book is now apparently "out", though I haven't seen physical copies or so. Instead, I was alerted by a Mastodon bot written by a colleague that notices new publications by our faculty members. Well, there it is :) www.cambridge.org/core/element...

Aurélien Saïdi, @cescoeco.bsky.social & I have a new JEDC paper on Michel Juillard's contribution to macro, aka his role as architect & curator of open-source Dynare software—used worldwide to estimate and simulate DSGE models It's important for 2 reasons: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This is something utterly remarkable. First, I very much enjoyed Steven's intro -- I wish every scholar could deserve -- and receive! -- such a thoughtful eulogy. The fact that he is seen as an inspiration for younger scholars makes me proud of the discipline of economics.

Honored to introduce Samuel Bowles Public Lecture The Origin and Future of Inequality, part of 3 days organized by @ucstonecenter.bsky.social. Sam has been an inspiration, both intellectually and morally to me, as well as to so many in the profession. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV-9...
