Now that there are only 6 world cup games left, I feel deep remorse that I skipped Jordan - Algeria at 11pm three weeks ago

Perdónenme la tibieza, pero yo creo que un partido que pretende gobernar no debería tener candidatos que apoyaron la inscripción de un partido que reivindica a la organización terrorista más violenta de nuestra historia.
El MOVADEF no es mi adversario, es mi enemigo.

For centuries, a fabled Incan fortress called Ancocogua existed only in legend. Now, researchers think they’ve finally found the long-rumored lost citadel—and new clues about the empire’s last days.

Dreamt I was in lunar orbit last night. Been in that post-vivid-dream-that-wasn't-real funk all morning.

Nobel Laureate Thomas Sargent drops a massive reality check. The US built its scientific dominance by taking in minds fleeing the Nazis. Now, due to the toxic environment in American universities, top scientists are desperately leaving. The US empire is collapsing.

Would have appreciated a heads up on how amazing Peruvian food is, sometime before I hit my 60’s. Really disappointed in all of you.

"Incomplete pass-through" (when costs rise 10%, prices rise <10%) is often "complete pass-through in levels" in disguise (costs rise 10 cents/unit, so prices rise 10 cents/unit).

Turns out this simple pattern can explain several other features of the data.

Price discovery and information technology are good.

Today I watched Hamnet and I have to say that it is one of the best movies that I’ve seen. Maybe it was because I had no expectations, but I truly believe is top tier. Very, very recommended!

@MichaelMaiello @apagliar What a great reference, I love it

Not necessarily must reads, but here are six classic papers that convey powerful ideas using simple models.

[Max Goedl @maxgoedl]

The Lucas Critique was not about the number of parameters in econometric models, but the nature of parameters (structural vs reduced form); and his advice was not to simplify models, but to build them from assumptions on economic primitives like preferences, technology, etc.
