A former combatant once said that a "community is ruled with fear or dreams”. This phrase sparked a 12-year study with @MAngelicaBau #JamesRobinson @RalphTG98 and #RagnarTorvik in which we use Colombian paramilitarism to examine why leaders choose the strategies they do [1/11].

I've posted a review article on deep learning for economists https://t.co/GzSaN2773U. The DL literature is vast, and I initially found it pretty daunting to find the parts of it that are most relevant to economic applications. I hope people will find this useful! #econtwitter

Un número infinito numerable de matemáticos entra en un bar.

El 1° pide 1 cerveza.
El 2° pide 2 cervezas.
El 3° pide 3 cervezas.
El 4° pide 4 cervezas.
...
El camarero se dispone a beberse 1/12 cervezas.

🚨NEW WORKING PAPER🚨

Since Hobbes, we assume that the natural institutional design is one intended to suppress violence
