« The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights » … The beginning of the American awakening? news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

" ... This research would suggest that America’s diversity may very well be one of the key elements shaping its prosperity ..." theconversation.com/cuts-to-rese... #EconSky #Inequality

Et après le vice-président des USA nous fait des leçons sur la liberté d’expression 🤬 www.liberation.fr/internationa...

The US government has begun slashing US$400 million in research grants at Columbia University over pro-Palestinian campus protests https://go.nature.com/4i4Eru3

Un Trump version écolo, à la tête du gouvernement, ce serait peut-être une solution 🤯 www.lemonde.fr/planete/arti...

How can an American President take such a completely insane decision on his own? www.lemonde.fr/en/united-st...

Scientists & experts: Add your name to this open letter calling on Congress and the Trump administration to ensure that NOAA and its sub-agencies remain fully funded and staffed, and that the independent, trusted science the agency produces is protected. act.ucsusa.org/4kajJuk

The German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact signed on 23 August 1939 secretly provided for the demarcation of the two countries' zones of influence in Europe. It was followed by Germany's invasion of part of Poland (negotiated in its zone) ... and the start of the WWII. www.britannica.com/event/German...

À l'heure où les scientifiques peinent à faire entendre leur voix, une question cruciale se pose : comment faire peser l'expertise scientifique dans le débat public ? 👉 Le 12 mars, participez à notre séminaire, consacré au thème de l'océan à l'occasion de l'Année de la Mer #HelloESR #ESR

Interesting online debate ... on a fundamental issue. fairnessfoundation.com/posts/the-re... #EconSky #Inequality

Trump's message to Zelensky is crystal clear: you sign the rare earths agreement to pay off your 'debt' to the USA, and I tell Putin to stop fighting (but leaving him the territories he occupies) or I won't help you anymore. Don't need Trump for that. Immoral and pathetic. youtu.be/EENkx6nxF3c

Trump and Vance are doing Putin’s dirty work. Senate Democrats will never stop fighting for freedom and democracy.

Here we go for the 2025-2nd III/LIS Comparative Economic Inequality Conference, in Luxembourg! www.lisdatacenter.org/news-and-eve...

Intrigued by questions of space-time? Don't worry, it's probably just a distorted description of the universe 🤔 www.quantamagazine.org/the-thought-...

In the UK, feelings of class antagonism and injustice run deep. But whereas the left struggles to address these feelings, the populist right has no such difficulty. @mikesavagelse.bsky.social asks: do we need to discuss a new politics of class? #LSEInequalitiesBlog buff.ly/4hVNEoo

US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks. https://go.nature.com/4kd1vIu

Le site comprendre2050.fr est en ligne. Fruit d'une collaboration entre @theshiftproject.bsky.social (initiative & coordination), l'ADEME, et @asso-negawatt.bsky.social, ce site déchiffre les scénarios de transition écologique (négaWatt, Shift Project, SNBC, RTE, Ademe) vers la neutralité carbone.

En raison des dérives de X, dont l'algo semble rendre complètement inopérant le partage d'informations scientifiques & la confrontation sereine des idées, le Conseil Scientifique du @cnrs.bsky.social invite les instituts & laboratoires affiliés à évaluer la pertinence de leur présence sur X. 1/2

Trump's decision to revoke anti-discrimination rules, particularly on the labour market, will at least have one advantage: it will show whether (or not) the US is fundamentally a merit-based society ... I don't know why, but I'm pessimistic. builtin.com/articles/tru... #EconSky

Quand aurons-nous enfin accès gratuitement et librement aux travaux scientifiques financés par des organismes publics ? 🤐 www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

🌍 Exciting Opportunities at LIS and LISER! LIS and @liserinlux.bsky.social are proud to announce the third call for two research initiatives: ▶️ Senior Fellowship ▶️ Research Stays www.lisdatacenter.org/news-and-eve...

It's not all doom and gloom in Washington DC: Don't miss the deadline for submitting a paper to the next ECINEQ Conference, co-hosted by the World Bank Group and George Washington University! www.ecineq.org/eleventh-eci... #EconSky #Inequality

The magic has happened once again. Another Winter School in Canazei brought together over 90 scholars to talk, listen, and discuss inequality and welfare. My heartfelt gratitude goes to Claudio Zoli and Francesco Andreoli, whose dedication makes this small miracle possible.

🚨Huge update to our paper on modeling & measuring systemic discrimination🚨 New more structural framework that is closely tied to applications + measurement New measurement section on methodology for identifying direct, systemic & total discrimination Two new field studies demonstrating tools. 1/2

Fascinating paper on where 6000 global elites went to college. Billionaires, CEOs, heads of state, central bankers, etc. In a word: Harvard. Fully 10% of global elites went to Harvard. Elite US schools are over-represented (23% IvyPlus), but nobody comes close to Harvard. 🧵

Même les experts ne savent pas toujours comment les systèmes d’IA atteignent leurs décisions. Un nouveau domaine de recherche s’empare du problème.

Welcome to CSH!

Some of the most important lottery anomalies from the behavioral risk literature (e.g., probability weighting and loss aversion) actually have nothing to do with risk. They also arise in perfectly deterministic settings. Lead article in the latest AER issue: www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

Deadline is approaching! Call for applications: Eighteenth Winter School on Inequality and Social Welfare Theory (IT18), 7-10 January 2025: www.lisdatacenter.org/news-and-eve... #EconSky #Inequality

“Computational models—like those assessing the effect of AI on minority representation in social networks—can demonstrate how biases in AI systems lead to feedback loops that reinforce societal inequalities” csh.ac.at/news/experts... #AI #Risk #Inequality

A book idea for Christmas? "End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites, and the Path of Political Disintegration" by Peter Turchin ... now in French: "Le Chaos qui vient. Élites, contre-élites, et la voie de la désintégration politique" #Politics #Inequality

Academic jargon, translated

Look at who has just begun to post substance here

If you are interested in #inequality, how it shapes economic opportunities, and the implications for both public policy and economic research, then listen to this engaging conversation I had with Steven Durlauf, director of @ucstonecenter.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t... #econsky

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

A year ago, we started our predictive modeling fairness project (mainly on insurance) foundation.scor.com/funded-proje... Following the graduate course last winter, the book is out link.springer.com/book/10.1007... and we launched some bi-annual newletters freakonometrics.hypotheses.org/76076

How do people search for information before making choices? A new interesting paper in PNAS 👇 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #EconSky #Risk #Uncertainty
