journals.openedition.org/oeconomia/18... I love writing book reviews. They’re still a place where you can debate ideas, something that’s becoming a bit rarer in academia. OEconomia is especially great for this.The editors give us plenty of room to engage fully with the books we review.

#EEAfiles 1986: there's a new association for European Economists New member, this is how to fill the directory sheet

#EEAfiles 1990: the European Economic Association is growing, but it's not growing fast enough "EEA as fewer members than the national economic association of Sweden, with a population of 8 millions"

A great initiative from Œconomia: a permanent call for papers focusing on datasets and quantitative methods relevant to the history and philosophy of economics. This directly addresses some of the challenges we discussed at our recent online workshop on computational methods in hist & phil of econ.

Œconomia launches a new type of publication: Data & Quantitative Methods in the History/Philosophy of Economics The goal: give space to reflections often sidelined in traditional articles where transparency & discussion of methods get cut for “results.” journals.openedition.org/oeconomia/19...

My review of Verena Halsmeyer's unique book-length history of the Solow growth-model is online. It is a great look at modelling in economics, the particular MIT-style of modeling, as well as a great case-study of how academic and policy prestige come about.
