It’s always a blast to write a book review with this guy: @becklukas.bsky.social. This time we read “False Prophets of Economics Imperialism: The Limits of Mathematical Market Models” by Matthew Watson. You can check out our thought on Watson’s book here: philpapers.org/archive/LUKF...

I am sharing a preprint of my chapter forthcoming in the Routledge Handbook on the Philosophy of Desire (edited by @alexgregory.bsky.social): "Desires in Economics." philpapers.org/rec/BECDIE-3 Feedback or any thoughts are welcome! Contains references to a galaxy far, far away🌌 More details below👇

🔥Meet the #ModelTransfer team: @belewollesen.bsky.social joined April 15 as a postdoc to do research on the transfer of models between econ and CS. In particular, she will study the migration of incentive-compatible mechanism concepts and AI models. #FrontierResearch #ERCStG @erc.europa.eu 👇
