@SamuelKaplan13@cmatthes_econ I agree about the system. My statement was about his success in terms of troughies and titles. He had money to do it (and he had Xavi, Iniesta and Messi at Barca).
@cmatthes_econ Look at his bench at City. No manager can afford that. He bought a goal keeper. Decided he didn’t like him, and club bought Donnarouma for him. No other manager has luxury. There are lots coaches who develop players. Few who can afford to have a deep bench.
@cmatthes_econ Guardiola is overrated. He has always coached teams with massive talents. At City he could buy any player and if he didn’t like them after two weeks he could buy another one. City owners deep pocket and 115 finance fair play violations help Pep massively.

The Iran war and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are starting to show in container freight rates?
Drewry’s World Container Index, a global benchmark for the cost of moving goods, is now up about 34% from its late-February trough.
@florianederer Aside from offsides, I’m not sure VAR is an improvement over on field decision. If anything, it has introduced more chaos, mostly due to inconsistency.
@MahdiKahou Search the word “immiserstion”. There is a class of dynamic contracting problems that have that property. Unpleasant, but interesting. Many great minds wrote papers trying to understand it better and/or show how robust it is to assumptions.
My point: it can be a good thing!
I have written a comprehensive primer on the theory of trade. My intent in writing is that, with half an hour’s reading, you will be able to understand what economists on the frontier are doing. Read it all below:
Today, May 12, we celebrate the birthday of Maryam Mirzakhani (1977–2017) - the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal.
Her groundbreaking work on Riemann surfaces and moduli spaces continues to inspire mathematicians worldwide.
May 12 is now International Women in Mathematics Day.
@florianederer I am wondering if ticket holders can sue. Anyone purchased tickets in lottery paid for and bought a ticket with resale option. Now that option is removed. So what they get is not what they paid for.
@micheleboldrin Because it is ridiculous. Aside from rules and procedures, every other federation is going object to this, staring from Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand.
