New public measures of social capital by ZIP code created from data on 21 billion Facebook friendships reveal strong relationship between economic connectedness and upward mobility, from @OppInsights, Matthew Jackson, Theresa Kuchler, @stroebel_econ, et al https://t.co/kzDDWD8dIf

We wrote about an enormous new study that shows that cross-class friendships, perhaps more than anything else, help people climb the income ladder. The study used Facebook data for 84% of U.S. adults ages 25-44, and shows the effect is profound. https://t.co/ebL5tSNfrE

@robinhanson I wonder if you’d have gotten similar results switching Nobel Prize for “make the most important contribution in your field this decade”

[Michael Bailey @michaelcbailey]

@seanjtaylor On a separate note - why do people always say “I’m humbled” right before announcing some promotion or achievement?

[Michael Bailey @michaelcbailey]

@seanjtaylor Actually Sean there’s a brand risk of people throwing exceptionally lame parties - their model seems to be working great !

The #NobelPrize committee couldn't reach Paul Milgrom to share the news that he won, so his fellow winner and neighbor Robert Wilson knocked on his door in the middle of the night.

Yesterday @stroebel_econ mentioned some of the neat working using the SCI. I wanted to tell you a little more about one of those papers (which just happens to be mine and happened to be accepted today @restatjournal!) Thanks to everyone who has given feedback!

The NYTimes manipulated the Trump quote here, not worth it because the real version is scarier.

Their version: "I don’t think science knows” what is happening.

Actual exchange: "I don't think science knows" whether the climate will get warmer.
