⭐ VoxTalks Economics NEW EPISODE ⭐

This week: 3 next-gen economists who made their mark at the CEPR-PSE Symposium 2024. If we decide to cut our own carbon emissions, what difference does it make? Much more than we assume, @ChristophSemken @UPFBarcelona discovers.

@uri_sohn Land use change makes up 23% of average beef (beef herd) emissions. So while the average effect is 99 kgCO₂eq per kg of meat, the marginal effect is more like 76 kgCO₂eq. Taking out taking out LUC makes poultry look even better by comparison. Source: https://t.co/Qnrj3g0S61

Els Verds alemanys @Die_Gruenen han treballat en una proposta de xarxa de trens nocturns a Europa per connectar 200 grans ciutats europees. Una bona alternativa al transport aeri que comença a obrir-se pas. Danke @AnnaDeparnay @MatthiasGastel

Very cool: What people mean when they use everyday terms describing probabilities. https://t.co/ZgLV5398VQ

These are sobering results.

A great tool for anyone who wants to perform an implicit associaton test in a lab or online. Thank you, @_knrd, for making it #opensource

Statistical terms: what they really mean

Multicolinearity— they all look the same
Heteroscedasticity— the variation varies
Attenuation— being too modest
Overfitting— too good to be true
Confounding— nothing is what it seems
P-value— it’s complicated

rather than reading 300 papers on populism, you can browse our only 100-page survey with
@sguriev, which will appear at the JEL, @AEAjournals.
Ungated version ⬇️ Take-way. Do not assume that #populism and the likes of Trump and Orban will disappear

Female academics are *much* more affected by the birth of a child than are male academics.

Academic mothers are much more likely to...

◾temporarily leave the labor force
◾and, if they return, shift away from tenure-track positions.

Why has inequality grown?

Hubmer, Krusell & Smith have an answer:

"We find that the significant drop in tax progressivity starting in the late 1970s is the most important driver of the increase in wealth inequality since then"
