On peer review, editors and journals, triggered by the JPE episode on Twitter. I wanted to give a take on what I and other editors try to do to give a fair share to papers. Peer review will always have flaws but, like democracy, is the best of the systems we have. (my view) 1/6

@paulnovosad Yeah, at origin the effect is as in standard SOE model. Why does manufacturing does not absorb workers at destination though? Firm level data suggests potential explanations: lower connections with rural regions, skill mismatch
