🚀I am on the #EconJobMarket!
My JMP asks a classic question:
Do large, dominant firms foster or hinder innovation?
To study this, I turn to the Great Merger Wave (1895–1904), when >2,600 U.S. firms combined into corporate giants like U.S. Steel and DuPont.

@RLMLDL Hi Ali! (@RLMLDL) I just purchased credits for doctly Ai, and I need a receipt for my purchase. It seems there is no way on the website to get an invoice and I am unable to text you because I am not verified. So can you please reach out and provide me with an invoice? Thanks!
Zionist counter protestors firing tear gas and fireworks directly into the peacefully protesting UCLA encampment right now. Wonder where they get their inspiration
.@UCLA created this incredibly dangerous situation by enabling and emboldening these violent Zionists at every turn.
All that time spent demonizing anti-genocide protestors while they allow fascists to assault and shoot fireworks + bear spray at their students.
🇮🇱🇵🇸 ISRAEL BOMBS TENTS IN RAFAH, TRIGGERS INTERNATIONAL PUSHBACK
This led to two fatalities and several injuries.
The alleged use of incendiary bombs has triggered widespread international concern and condemnation.
There are growing calls for an independent investigation to hold those responsible accountable.
As the humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens, the international community is keeping a close watch, especially as over 1.7 million civilians in Rafah seek refuge.

US universities did not go off track after October 7, or as encampments started going up on campuses across the nation.
Events since October 7 have merely exposed the discriminatory practices of universities. It has become clear as daylight that the feelings of some identity groups matter less than those of others; that campus speech codes are meant to protect some groups from micro-annoyances while expecting other groups to live with mega-threats; and that the allowable campus protests depend on what is being protested.
None of this is new. What’s new is a growing awareness among academics, even among those on the far left politically, that departures from institutional neutrality have been terribly divisive and, ultimately, very widely discomforting.
This is quite a take. Has Fareed missed every student movement of his lifetime?
Maybe college kids are protesting because they’re opposed to the slaughter of innocents. And because they’re in the actual community of rights.
At the end of this clip a pro-Israel protester tries to start a fight, calls someone the N-word, and then spits on them.
Will he be vilified by politicians? Will this clip be shown on every media station as representative of supporters of Israel? https://t.co/xGKpxMwoTE
Sad to see a conference in the name of the great Asma Jahangir being held with the support of some of the most egregious supporters of human rights violations inside & outside Pakistan. After today’s events, with a heavy heart I have decided not to participate in the panel on elections & electoral fraud. Having worked & campaigned with the late Asma Jahangir for decades, never expected to arrive at this moment.
It is interesting that Chinese economy cheerleaders like to talk about gdp per capita in PPP terms and then multiply it by billion people, but when talking about growth rates, they exclusively focus on nominal numbers
