idk why this hasn't been talked about more but official data shows FDI in China has absolutely plummeted. There was a peak of $100b in 1Q 2022 but since then it's been super low. 3Q 2022 was the lowest since 2004(!) and the next two quarters are still extremely low

Always great to team up with our regional partners in efforts to promote our region and foster new xborder ties 💪

Silicon Valley Bank's fractional reserve limit should have been held to a higher standard, given the risk associated with venture capital. Hope other VC investors take note for the future.

Grateful that the Fed stepped in to save my job and company over the weekend 🙏

I'd love a map of the world like this. As an American, I believe my perception of this statistic is skewed lower than it should be 😅

[Xavi Ruiz @xruiztru]

Map shows what share of South American countries’ population resides in the capital.

Super happy to speak with the faculty of Medicine at Superior University in Pakistan yesterday. By creating public-private partnership with their university, their administration can more-effectively educate their students at scale.

Should noncompete contracts be regulated? @liyan_shi finds that employers have incentives to sign excessively long noncompete durations. Regulations such as duration caps improve worker reallocation and productivity, despite hurting employer investments https://t.co/p4khJFEVcT

Election night is my favorite - I love watching history happen in real time...

Can't wait to wake up and see the results. It's like Christmas morning for a Poli Sci lover like me 🇺🇸

Pretty obvious when you think about it. Liberal trade policies help an economy stay competitive in many ways, one of them being the optimal allocation of capital

[Econometrica @ecmaEditors]

How to reduce capital and labor misallocation? We find that foreign capital liberalization ⬇️ misallocation in India, especially when banking is undeveloped, and show how to use DiD estimates to bound aggregate productivity changes. @BauNatalie @AdrienMatray

This paper studies the role of large private sector companies in the development of local amenities. The United Fruit Company had a positive effect on living standards as labor market competition induced the firm to invest in amenities. @DianaVanPatten

Would love a chart that shows VC funding by country, over time to see China's relative change

[Mark Witzke @mkwitzke]

True but VC funding worldwide is also not exactly holding up too well
