Spatial errors are a potential problem in applied economics. If u use cross-sectional data, but neighboring observations are really similar, you overstate the confidence you can have in your results. The problem is not new. Recently, some new methods have allowed us to tackle

[Erik Brynjolfsson @erikbryn]

We must act now.

AI capabilities are advancing far faster than our understanding of the economic implications.
We must act now to guide AI to complement humans rather than simply imitate them — and to generate prosperity for the many, not just the few.

I'm delighted that 16 Nobel Laureates, over 200 top economists, and top AI researchers agree and signed our statement on transformative AI.

What is a psychological theory? Here's our take on this tricky and controversial question in this week's Experimentology chapter summary.

Many things called "theories" in psychology aren't actually theories — they're frameworks.

Local projections are surprisingly robust to misspecification. By contrast, VAR confidence intervals with short-to-moderate lag length can severely undercover for misspecification that is small, difficult to detect, and cannot be ruled out a priori.

"The perfect is the enemy of the very good."

Joel Mokyr gives some important advice that can be applied to most subjects aside from mathematics – don't expect perfection. He says he does his best, acknowledges what he does not know and moves on.

Mokyr was awarded the 2025 prize in economic sciences for having identified the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress.
