@nntaleb Name a single tariff model that doesn’t have only Ricardian assumptions about trade economy differentiation. None of these models price in annihilation from a foreign adversary who uses their trade to build the weapons of your demise. Don’t talk to me about “costs”.
@jessesingal There are no tariff models that account for the cost of annihilation by funding your self declared adversaries’ military buildup through trade.
@TrumpDailyPosts That is: The assumption is that the only difference between trading partners is resource endowment, technological advantage, economies of scale. They say nothing of the costs of future hostilities funded by the trade.
@TrumpDailyPosts All the new tariff pundits don’t seem to recall the assumptions of textbook tariffs policy are Ricardian. There is no tariff calculation that factors in annihilation by weapons developed using the gains from free trade with a self declared adversary.
@Cernovich There are no popular models of trade that analyze the effects of tariffs in the context of adversaries. The entire globe behaves adversarially. All models assume the only difference between trading partners is Ricardian. The tariff “costs” do not price in annihilation.
In the comments, Chinese researchers go full CCP on a professor for mentioning something about Chinese academic dishonesty, which has been widely reported and studied.
NeurIPS acknowledges that the cultural generalization made by the keynote speaker today reinforces implicit biases by making generalisations about Chinese scholars. This is not what NeurIPS stands for. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a safe space for all of us. We want to address the comment made during the invited talk this afternoon, as it is something that NeurIPS does not condone and it doesn't align with our code of conduct. We are addressing this issue with the speaker directly.
NeurIPS is dedicated to being a diverse and inclusive place where everyone is treated equally.
@wang_jianren Scientific? They have the statistics from the universities. UCSB had a 6% foreign chinese population. They committed 1/3 of the academic misconduct:
