Kent Daniel (https://t.co/iDQL9rDRWa) and I are teaching Quantitative Investments at Columbia this fall. It's a graduate course. If you're a student, enrollment is open. I think the course is 2x oversubscribed, despite the entrance exam (which was hard-ish). But I am sure there will be no-shows. I will share here what I can (that is compatible with the uni's policies).
And yes, it's really cool and surreal to teach a course with the coauthor of the "momentum crashes" and the "characteristics vs covariances" papers.
@egr_investor@benjaminfelix@JonLuskin Interesting discussion indeed! One aspect that was under-discussed is the role of higher expected returns of value factor-tilted portfolio helping to stay-the-course despite significant tracking error, the divergence in expected returns often exceed all-in costs of factor tilts.
Today, the Stanford @DigEconLab launches the AI Economic Indicators, a new platform for tracking how AI is reshaping work, productivity, adoption, and the economy.

Interpreting expansion/contraction of Roman empire through the lens of customer acquisition economics & mapping to lifecycle phases of companies (rise & decline) is absolutely brilliant.

Great explanation of index inclusion:
1) "Think equilibrium, watch the money all the way to its final resting place, and remember money is a veil, all that matters is the final allocations."
2) "Don’t just think equilibrium, think about the forces supporting the equilibrium."
This column counters doomers who say AI could raise unemployment broadly. First, rarely has any technology directly destroyed more jobs than it creates, and I don't see it now. This chart (H/T @JamesBessen) surprised me: software employment still rising /1 https://t.co/mMN9VaPDJP
Wow, I didn't look at 3 months horizon, this maybe a historic 3-month lookback for small value outperformance against large growth.
The burst-like nature of HmL factor outperformance is difficult to see amidst day-to-day volatility.
The observed decline in labor’s share of corporate output, in conjunction with relatively weak corporate investment, generates a persistent rise in the ratio of corporate valuation relative to corporate earnings, from Andrew Atkeson, @Jonheathcote, and @fab_perri https://t.co/cNQee1CpqR
In his latest memo, @HowardMarksBook addresses the question, “Is there a bubble in AI?” He assesses the current landscape, drawing parallels to history and considering whether investors’ current enthusiasm is merited or irrational. #OaktreeInsights

"... brains hallucinate perceptions, AI models hallucinate language and markets hallucinate future cash flows, and all three hallucinate for same structural reasons: they are predictive engines operating under uncertainty..."
Thanks for finding these gems @farnamjake1
