How gravitational waves distort space: What you see is a quadrupole wave. Conservation of energy–momentum rules out grav monopole and dipole radiation. In other words, gravity is mediated by a spin-2 tensor field (in contrast to a spin-1 field in the case of electromagnetism)

I need to raise awareness of my JPubE paper with @taka_adachi on welfare consequences of taxation including ad valorem taxes (like trade tariffs)

Economists cite my JPE 2013 pass-through paper w/ @glenweyl a lot, but don't know about the new more general paper

@zdeborova In the case of curing patients in the US being unprofitable, there would be an easy fix: the government could pay for the cure even if insurance companies don't want to because they don't care about long-term health their patients.

9. Africa's Growing Integration 🌍📈
