Artists: but I don't want to lose my job. I love it.
Mathematicians: but I don't want to lose my job. I love it.
Economists: LONG HAVE I AWAITED THIS HOUR! DESTROY ME, EFFICIENCY, AND LET UTILIZATION-ADJUSTED TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY RISE ON THE WIND OF MY ASHES!
Spent the past two months building Waza, an AI coach for your hands. Demo videos in the post. If you own Meta glasses and an iPhone, I'd love to have you as a tester.

AI has now solved a major open problem -- one of the best known Erdos problems called the unit distance problem, one of Erdos's favourite questions and one that many mathematicians had tried.

Nobel laureate Christopher Sims (1942-2026) reshaped macroeconomics during 20 years at Minnesota. His vector autoregression framework gave economists new tools to trace how shocks affect the economy over time. He will be greatly missed.
Q: How do the dynamics of production processes in production networks shape how shocks propagate across the economy?
This is first of several papers I saw last week at @bse_barcelona Summer Forum tackling Qs on dynamics of production
Schaal & Taschereau study how sectoral delivery lags shape timing and persistence of shocks in production networks 👇
"Firm exits can trigger cascades of shutdown. New work studies how these cascades propagate and their impact on aggregate fluctuations."

Thanks to all the participants for the fantastic Inaugural BSE Summer Forum Workshop on Networks in Macroeconomics and Trade!
Hoping that we have witnessed a permanent positive innovation to the Forum.
The Department of Economics is greatly saddened by the recent passing of Nick Kiefer. He was a great economist, colleague and most importantly, friend.
