It is with immense sadness that the FMG has learned the news of Denis Gromb's passing. He is fondly remembered here, in an obituary written by Dimitri Vayanos: https://t.co/ezYzjw8exu.

SWP 985 by Christian Julliard (LSE), Gábor Pintér (BoE), Karamfil Todorov (BIS) and Kathy Yuan (LSE) uses a transaction level dataset to explore the determinants of repo market haircuts and which frictions are most important for their pricing.

NEW REPORT: Pitched debates about #China's lending to developing countries are short on facts. It is usually a contest of polar opposites -- Is China a patient development partner or a new imperialist power? #HowChinaLends #BRI https://t.co/9TKU1AIpGk /1

@AnnaBernoulli We call it street dog poo index — how much people walking through that street care about it.

[Kathy Yuan @zkyuan]

Indeed we forecasted Internet forums could foster trading frenzies in 2013. We wrote: “A large volume of activity in such [internet] forums could suggest that speculators have more common information than private information and so trading frenzies become more likely to occur.”

[Kathy Yuan @zkyuan]

Trading frenzy is not a zero sum game but has real economic consequences. When the capital market becomes a casino, efficiency will be lost. As most economies move from bank towards market based financial intermediation, it is worrisome to see the breakdown of the capital market.

1/5 In our 𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕗𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕫𝕚𝕖𝕤 paper a capital provider learns from price of a firm's security to decide how much to invest. To influence this decision speculators who wish to trade like each other coordinate on common sources of information. https://t.co/hLv3PH1la0

5/5 And there are more examples in this article. https://t.co/LmD3yoKGHi

I have a very funny joke about convex preferences. I made it up by combining two less funny jokes.

Moderna CEO and co-founders came to the US as foreign students: Born in Lebanon, Noubar Afeyan, co-founder & chairman of Moderna came for his PhD at MIT. Born in France, CEO Stéphane Bancel came for his MS & MBA https://t.co/24uYsWTLGt

[Dirk Jenter @DirkJenter]

I have very similar concerns about online seminar series.

Many well-known economists from top schools are probably happy to give an online seminar each week. But they would never be willing to travel that often.

@DefneYuan @emre_ozdenoren I have to defend @emre_ozdenoren. It is world leading in taste and looks.
