As AI affects some sectors more (ICT, Professions), others may become bottlenecks.

How much can this limit the gains from AI, through a Baumol growth disease? Our answer is “very little”, unless workers and capital reallocation is highly sluggish and preferences rigid. 1/3

New paper out! 🚀

We forecast AI productivity impacts for OECD+G20 countries and study the role of trade 🌍

I have a new paper. We look at ~all stats articles in political science post-2010 & show that 94% have abstracts that claim to reject a null. Only 2% present only null results. This is hard to explain unless the research process has a filter that only lets rejections through.

In a recent paper, we find a clear pattern: short-term pain, potential long-term gains. 🧵
