Why study economics?

It is a science that helps us understand how we are all connected in a mutually-reliant ecosystem

e.g. one person's supply is another person's demand ...

[Atif Mian @AtifRMian]

It has long been said about many developing countries that they have a "low saving rate problem"

But this is not a helpful diagnosis and in fact can give a very misleading interpretation

Growing up, I heard people say this about Pakistan as well. But it's wrong ...

[Atif Mian @AtifRMian]

What is saving?

The number we "save" in our bank account out of the pay-check is just that - a number in a computer

Our hope when we save is that the number means something. But that cannot be taken for granted

Good news! I just got my first "Top 5" journal publication, in the Review of Economic Studies. Top 5 journals in econ are fetishized beyond belief. This publication helps show why we might want a more balanced attitude. #Econtwitter https://t.co/YQKNtCthbc

I wish more people would understand that we do not have to chose between saving the economy *or* protecting the health of the population.

It’s not either/or. The goals are aligned: only if we protect people’s health can we get the economy back.

JUST REALIZED THIS MORNING I have to give an invited lecture this afternoon for 2nd year PhDs on how to come up with research ideas, write papers, etc. 😱

Guideline: “What would I have wanted to know when starting?”

Thread: Two points of reflection on today's #NobelPrize decision for #economics One praising, one a bit more critical.

Let's start with the praise: I think we have seen a real break with tradition here (and Esther Duflo alluded to this during the small press conference)

1/Lots of people are getting interested in industrial policy. That's a good thing.

Here is a reading list of good books about industrial policy.

[Dr Raul Pacheco-Vega @raulpacheco]

Micro-thread on "dealing with The Dreaded Blank Page". I have been wanting to write a thread and a blog post on this topic for a very long time. When one of my PhD students told me "Dr. Pacheco-Vega, I don't know how to START a paper", I literally froze. I was like "BUT WHY?"
