Grazie @Pontifex «I morti in questo mare sono vittime sia di decisioni prese, sia di decisioni mancate».
Da anni scriviamo che i #migranti non sono “affogati”, ma “fatti affogare”. Dai trafficanti, da chi ostacola i soccorsi, da chi protegge gli #Almasri

When a Bayesian parametric model can be embedded in an encompassing semiparametric framework, likelihood augmentation via efficient scores delivers robustness to local misspecification and semiparametrically efficient inference.

Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied.
In Italy:
- Walk into a bar and look at the guy
- Un caffe
- 30 seconds later it’s ready
- Shoot it
- Leave €1
- Walk out
In the US:
- Join a line
- Wait
- Order coffee
- Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it?
- $12.34
- Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip
- Tap phone
- ask where to send the invoice
- Wait again on a different line
- Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine
- get the coffee
- too hot, can't drink it
- finally at temperature
taste like shit

Dornbusch, Rudiger. 1976. "Expectations and Exchange Rate Dynamics." Journal of Political Economy, 84: 1161-1176. ➡️ We get 90% of AI in this classical paper, even before AI was available!
Really cool!
Dynare 7.0 has been released
Among other improvements, there is a new "framework for solving and simulating models featuring rich heterogeneity (which includes HANK models)."

they didn’t plan to evacuate US diplomats or citizens from the region, they didn’t plan 14+ countries would come under direct attack, they did not plan Strait of Hormuz would be closed, they didn’t plan for Iran day after, ….
The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

«Con la misura con la quale misurate sarà misurato a voi; anzi, vi sarà dato di più. Perché a chi ha, sarà dato; ma a chi non ha, sarà tolto anche quello che ha.��

Since I received my third rejection from the totally incompetent editors at @Econometrica , despite having solved eight times for the most beautiful equilibria, I have decided that being a good economist is no longer my priority.
