In a new post, I pull data from four different sources --- arXiv, NBER working papers, SSRN, and the AEA --- to look at how much working paper growth and submissions have changed with the growth of AI. paulgp.substack.com/p/the-number...

It’s not a mistery why, but the median non-US user probably reads way more about a Senate candidate from a US peripheral state than the median US user reads about most non-US prime ministers

1. How common is LLM use in scientific publishing, and how does it vary across field, publisher, journal prestige, author demographics etc.? @kylesiler.bsky.social has new paper in PNAS that addresses this question on a massive scale: 7.3 million papers from Elsevier, PLOS, MDPI, and Frontiers.

La FIFA presentó la canción del Mundial con Shakira en bikini. El Gobierno de México ha presentado la canción La niña futbolista. Simplemente prioridades.

I’m happy to share that today I was awarded the 2026 Craufurd Goodwin Best Article on the History of Economics for my paper on Warren Nutter’s Soviet economy esearch at the CIA. It’s one of my favorite papers and it’s a nice one to have won because it exemplifies how I approach history of economics.

“Just one more robustness check before the presentation…”

Our paper on the pandemic and populism is online in Comparative Political Studies. We find that local COVID-19 transmission increased support for right-wing populists in Europe, and triangulate our findings across data from social media, elections, and surveys.

New paper finds "After the first year of war...82% of each square kilometer of the Gaza Strip had been damaged at least once and that 67.9% of its built-up area has been destroyed." "Our results show that more than 3/4s of Gaza’s economy has been destroyed since the start of the conflict"

Gràcies 💙💔

FWIW, I don’t think the major problem in my field, or related ones, is that people need to move faster & produce more. I read a lot of papers as part of the job, and I’m increasingly convinced we’d benefit from fewer papers and better ones, not more mediocre work produced ever more “efficiently.”

Me, telling my coauthors I’m almost done with my parts for the paper

The White House has undertaken mass exclusion of international students. It has slashed new F-1 visas circa 32% in the latest available State Dept. data. That stunning, destructive act says a thousand times more than any empty words uttered at a press conference.

We finished putting the football trading cards in the album. We danced the “baile del cuadrado”. We answered about 1,000 questions on today’s women’s Champions League final. We had breakfast. It’s not even 9 am. It’s Saturday. Parenthood.

Foreigners in the U.S. who want a green card will need to leave and apply in their home country, the Trump administration announced Friday, in a surprise change to a longstanding policy. n.pr/4utqOec

Más de 100 equipos directivos presentan la dimisión y sigue adelante la huelga indefinida en la comunidad educativa valenciana. Todo el apoyo a una comunidad educativa que está defendiendo la escuela pública frente al deterioro y la falta de soluciones. ¡Vamos!

Cabeza fría, intransigencia con los condenados por corrupción y voto contra la ola reaccionaria en toda elección que se ponga por delante

Academics, like most people, suck at dealing with rejection and critique. Unlike others, critique for them hits harder: it's not the article which is insufficient; it's the author. Our work is an extension of our abilities, our value. And this ends up being the greatest Achilles heal of the job.

I have a theory about this: lots of academics tend to have been high achievers in school. They come to enjoy and celebrate the accolades and recognition that come with work: citations, mentions, prizes, the works. But they didn't expect the critiques that go with them. That's their trauma.
