Today I chatted with some pre-docs heading to the grad school market. They all agreed: quant GRE matters for admissions, verbal doesn't. So they don't try on verbal.

Here's what I learned doing admissions at @UChi_Economics (2007-12): verbal scores had the most predictive power for job market paper quality.

Why? Everyone had near-perfect quant scores—no variance to predict anything. Verbal scores actually differentiated candidates, and writing ability turns out to matter for research.

Does anyone else share this experience? And, please keep this between us because I want to maintain our competitive advantage and I want to avoid Campbells Law!

China is the American Dream. DeepSeek is crazy, it’s how amazing that China is actually making all these new innovations free for all and shaking the monopoly of “we are the only alternative, you should pay”.

Thank you, China 🇨🇳

Two Swedish historians wrote a fascinating book on the deep history of Swedish values.

But..

When I cross-checked their claims with the latest research in economics, economic history & political science, I realised important qualifiers...

@ProfPaulPoast Great threads on GS. I wonder how you would explain shifting “conservative” and “liberal” approaches in the US foreign policy, especially regarding its relations with the outside world.

Azerbaijan and Georgia are only different that they don't have Russian military bases - great success with some cost-benefit consideration. Undoubtedly there is a different type of "Russian base" in both.

Watched "Blade Runner 2049" yesterday. The movie's all ab high-tech but decaying future.

Highly recommended!

What kind of society do technological advancements shape? How's it going to affect widening inequalities?

Are the questions for you to find an answer to.

Crops under solar panels can be a win-win, and in dry places, photovoltaic shade can even reduce water use, suggests a recent study.

Cherry tomatoes saw a 65% increase in CO₂ uptake, a 65% increase in water-use efficiency, and produced twice as much fruit.
