In another joint work with @PSchnattinger, we look into the "Household Inflation Uncertainty and Wage Growth Expectations". Using @NYFedResearch SCE data and building on our previous work on "The Drivers of hhd Inf Uncertainty" https://t.co/4sQlcRgMzY

[Rohith Jyothish @thirdworldecon]

Fascinating paper. But I have at least three big questions.

1. Does “time spent outside the dwelling” measure seclusion, or something broader about household production and realised mobility?

2. The decline between 1998 and 2019 coincides with urbanisation, rising education, LPG expansion, smartphones, declining female labour force participation, and changing household consumption. How do we know which of these structural transformations this variable is actually capturing?

3. High relative to what? Is this pattern uniquely Indian, or does it also appear in countries with similar labour markets, household structures, or gender norms?

[Jesús Fernández-Villaverde @JesusFerna7026]

One of the great promises of LLMs is that they have reduced linguistic barriers for non-native English speakers in academia by at least an order of magnitude.

Economics, my own field, is 99% in English. I have written a few papers and a book in Spanish but, for all practical purposes, these count for zero in my CV. I had to spend considerable time and effort to reach a level where I could give a 90-minute seminar in English. I could do it because economics is a math-heavy field (you can always put the equation on the slide and let the math do the work) and because Spanish is not that far from English.

But I have seen incredibly brilliant students, particularly from East Asia, crash and burn in the job market because their English was below a minimum standard.

I do not complain about it. As my great professor at Minnesota, Chris Phelan, loves to say: “Nobody should have told you that life is fair.” Some are born into upper-middle-class families in Hampstead, London, and some into villages in rural China. Given how different Chinese is from English, what amazes me is how smart my Chinese colleagues must be to give a 90-minute seminar in English at all. If you are a native English speaker, try to learn enough Chinese to give a five-minute talk. Then you will understand what they have accomplished.

LLMs mean that an Egyptian student no longer must agonize for hours over a flowing introduction to her job market paper. Or a Korean student can prepare for interview questions without a native speaker holding her hand. We are only beginning to see the effects of this change.

Native speakers (or speakers of languages close to English) have, so far, maintained a clear advantage in policy discussions. Does anyone truly believe that Paul Krugman would have become a New York Times columnist if he had been a native speaker of Japanese? Same brain, same graduate education, same contributions to economics, same academic jobs, very different impact on public opinion.

Or why is economics or physics much more international than sociology, political science, or history? Because in economics or physics, you can get away with much lower linguistic skills. In history, if you cannot write English prose that meets a particular standard, you cannot publish.

The resistance to LLMs in academic writing is, in many cases, the defense of the linguistic advantages of English. Let’s call a spade a spade.

Pleased to share my latest contribution to the Central Bank of Ireland’s Quarterly Bulletin (QB3): “House Prices & Inflation Expectations,” focusing on Ireland - with @garce27

[Prachi Srivastava @PrachiSpace9]

Since rents and house prices are particularly high in Ireland, we ask: How do households’ expectations of housing market developments, especially house prices, shape their overall inflation expectations?
