Sorry I refuse to entertain the complete non-existent world where white people don’t know that countless cultures, including some of their own but certainly diasporic racialized ones, call their mom’s cousin’s friend’s sister they grew up with “cousin” and call close women elders “aunt/auntie”

The Fed isn’t getting lots of data during the government shutdown, and the data it does have are confusing. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

1980: NHS spending as a % of GDP: 5.1% Defence spending as a % of GDP: 5% 2024: NHS spending as a % of GDP: 10.9% Defence spending as a % of GDP: 2.2% This is such a common applause line, but it’s also total bullshit.

Is there anything more than vibes to the idea that unemployment is up among the young, due to AI? Yes, I am aware that there evidence of impacts in specific occupations like software development. I'm interested in the claim that there's been a change in aggregates. #econsky

The people behind the inflated protests are performing a monumental service to democracy & peace in the US. The Regime wants riots, but these animal characters are not only an effective protest, grabbing attention & mocking ICE, they seem to reduce the risk of violent protests. It's perfect.

I learnt a lot reading these 750 easy-to-digest expertly-written words on why these guys won their Nobel prize.

Come and join us! Our search focuses on econometrics or IO! Montreal, imo, best city in North America and 🇨🇦 is a welcoming, awesome country.

This is not a good year to go on the academic job market.

Three big announcements concerning new data from the AEA on the #EconJobMarket First, there are now live dashboards on AEA JOE that show the # of jobs listed on JOE each week, with comparisons to recent years. These will be updated weekly. www.aeaweb.org/about-aea/co... #EconSky 1/many

SCOOP: The Bureau of Labor Statistics is preparing to release the September C.P.I. report despite the shutdown. (Exact date still unclear -- almost certainly not the original Oct. 15 date.) #EconSky #NumbersDay

Good article What the graduate unemployment story gets wrong - on.ft.com/3IXwY3F via @FT

Bajillionaires of the world, we don't need more employment growth nowcasts during the government shutdown. But we do need a very-large-sample monthly survey of US households to determine employment / unemployment status. macromostly.substack.com/p/we-dont-ne...

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Hi all, just sent out this free post to explain what matters (and what does not) in the Ukrainian campaign against Russian oil refineries. It discusses why the campaign now seems more successful, but also what else needs to happen to have a greater strategic effect. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

We’re hiring @ LSE We have *multiple* economist positions—assistant and associate professor—here at LSE International Development. Our economics group is expanding and we have exciting stuff planned. We’re keen on big picture economists. Feel free to DM me questions.

🚨 Hiring Tenure-Track Assistant Professors in Econ at the University of Copenhagen! 🚨 Join a great group in an exciting (and friendly) city 😀! Details will follow. Pls repost and get in touch to hear more. All fields, and I’m esp. interested in hearing from DEV candidates 😀! #EconSky

This is bad, but also vital to remember: it’s an EO. It’s not a new law. It’s just instructions to his appointees. Who remain constrained by the Fed criminal code. And, to preempt the doomers: Those. Laws. Are. Holding. That’s why Trump’s losing it over Comey in EDVA.

How can it be that the US and Israel are completely isolated internationally and somehow tylenol is the top story of the day?

If the UK does not take this good advice, maybe Canada will? Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver are great places for tech hubs - lets compete for them by enabling skilled migration and students.

‘Leuthen…demonstrates how an unexpected battlefield victory can galvanize & change international relations and diplomatic affairs: perhaps like the success enjoyed by the Ukrainian armed forces in the days immediately after the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022.’ warontherocks.com/2025/08/the-...

If Mikal backs me up, I cant be a wrong!

Youth unemployment in Canada is on the rise and becoming a topic. The conservatives try to blame immigrant workers and the temporary foreign worker program. I believe this is a cyclical issue. Here is what I have to say yesterday: youtu.be/kwKnp2zzIKc?...

Mark your calendars, next big No Kings protest is October 18

Die Transfererlöse aus der Premierleague kommen den "Ausbildungsvereinen" der Bundesliga (#SGE, #VFB, #Leverkusen) zu Gunsten und erschweren den Bayern das Geschäft. Wäre doch Klasse wenn das evtl die Dominanz der Bayern in der Liga bricht.

Come on Canada, start taking advantage of this.

Is this a fluke, or is this happening in local special elections around the country? Where could I find out?

The decisions of Lisa Cook (Fed) and of Dr. Monarez (CDC) to not just cave to the attempts to remove them is exactly what is needed. According to the NYT today, Robert Kennedy tried to fire Dr Monarez, but as a Senate confirmed appointee she will only go if the President personally instructed her.

If one day we remember this time as a brush with American Fascism instead of a full-blown descent into it, it will be thanks to people like Lisa Cook. One could take the “pragmatic” self-preserving approach that we have seen from so many who have bent the knee. Saying “absolutely not” is heroic.

From the perspective of someone outside the US, it is inspiring to see Lisa Cook standing up against a naked power grab.

The exchange between Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and the Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó is really something to behold of. The ratio is also interesting.

“I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet,” Cook said. www.bloomberg.com/news/article... Amen.

Looks like #IZA will continue under the umbrella of the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER). Great news

My take on several months of Ukraine support by Germany under the Merz government: Without going into too much detail, I don't know how other people feel about this who have roughly the same or more information, but in my opinion if even half of what is being said behind closed doors is true... 1/5

"More than that, just seeing how import substitution was working made me skeptical. Lawyers who do trade law are more pro free trade than economists, because they know how badly protection works. A distorted economy is terrible" Yep. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevo...

Referees make the journal system work. They are selfless in volunteering their time to ensure that our science continues to progress. All of the great referees out there please know that editors recognize your hard work and tireless effort. We do not always say it, but we do! Thank you.

One thing that I find interesting about this graph is that the revisions seem predictable. That is, it does not seem like each months is a mean zero draw. Anybody use this to 'correct' payroll numbers preemptively?

It I read this correctly, one RSV hospitalization prevented for 100 vaccinations. That seems like a great trade-off. Vaccines for the win again. www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-...

I would think Hassett disgraced himself already with the cubic model of Covid deaths. But, he found a way to outdo himself. I don't get it how people like Hassett can look at themselves in the mirror.

Very thoughtful thread. My short summary: for now we can continue trust the numbers from BLS. This because agency employees have the integrity to let the public know about potential interference. We might not be able to protect the process, but we will know when it is compromised.

Hassett went on TV and claimed you can’t trust the economic data anymore because all the recent revisions are partisan. A bald-faced lie. Every serious economist still in this administration should resign. They are actively underminding the US economy by lending their credibility to this horse****

Why do the jobs numbers get revised? our markets and policymakers want data NOW but employer data dribbles in over months 1st estimate is based on the 75% of employers who respond promptly Updates occur as more data rolls in: 95% response rate by final revision 1/N www.bls.gov/opub/btn/vol...
