In an attempt to make many people jealous: I was fortunate enough to end up sitting next to @TimHarford at a conference yesterday. Tim's books have been really important in my professional development and made me a much better teacher (looking forward to The Truth Detective)
Really enjoyed talking about digital markets at this Competition Forum organised by @compasslexecon and meeting the inimitable @ProfSchrepel and chat about his complexity antitrust work.
On my way to the UK Competition Policy Forum 2023, where Iโll be speaking about how to operationalise dynamic competition in agency decision-making ๐๐ผ๐ฌ๐ง
Canโt wait to hear what the other panelists and participants have to say about the recent cases published by the @CMAgovUK.
Our workshop on Recommender Systems and Competition Policy is fast approaching. We still have 4 in-person and more online places left.

How do recommender systems affect competition between suppliers on a platform?
We're running a workshop for policy stakeholders, and there are a limited number of in-person and less-limited number of online places still available.

Popularity bias in a recommender system is simply an algorithmic reflection of the preference externalities that had affected market-based content provision before digitisation.
My new blog post argues for Public Service Broadcasting at the time of Recommender Systems. A world where the provision of audiovisual content is orchestrated by RS, is characterised by the same market failures that justified PSB in the analogue era.

tldr: In early 20th century the City of Dublin annexed a number of previously independent municipalities in the expectation to increase the city's tax base. The resulting changes in local policies led to a migration of wealthy and Protestant residents away from the annexed areas.
It is good to see this work finally bedded at the Journal of Economic History. Most credit goes to @FrancoMariuzzo for making this happen. The paper offers a nice example to residents voting with their feet in reponse to changes in local government.

Spent the last few months finishing my first fiction novel. Getting back to writing academic papers afterwards is hard. Finding it difficult to resist the temptation to describe my study design and empirical strategy in elevated prose, or to develop characters for my equations
@BBCRadio4 and Ha-Joon Chang's Edible Economics is such a great idea that it made me go back in time and do the same 5 years ago, except I didn't want to nick his name so I called it Chopping Board Economics: https://t.co/BY9E7FnqaQ
