It was the 3rd year of our PhD. After two gruelling years (the Core, with less than 50% pass rate on Year 1, the Prelims, with another 50% of students gone in Year 2) we were having our first reception as "real" grad students outside in the Social Science Quadrangle of @UChicago.

RIP Robert Lucas. A wonderful teacher, the deepest of thinkers and un unbelievably clear, insightful writer.
He was always obsessed by ideas, always going deeper. An anecdote from my graduate school years tells a lot about his obsessive drive to learn and to understand.

Ben, as usual, bravely calling things by their name in this thread. His service to the profession, to his country and to the world has been inmense. And I can say it because I was there then, in the policy side, to watch it.
RT @ben_moll: Given some of the reactions to this thread, let me remind you of some of the doomsday predictions around the time we wrote our original paper.
Our key message below is not: "everything is great in Germany". Instead it is: "those…

RT @JohnHCochrane: Whole thread is excellent. There is no "model" vs. "real world." There are only explicit vs. implicit (and usually wrong) models. Ben Moll and co have indeed made an extraordinary contribution, worth remembering in many circumstances. Substitution! https://t.co/4C9yr8Ocso

RT @David_K_Clark: So why hasn’t EU membership prevented seven EU countries from making a proportionately bigger contribution of military support to Ukraine than the UK has? Because Rees-Mogg is lying, that’s why. https://t.co/SxwNZV8Yte https://t.co/4O05PV7oSV

Toda la sociedad, izquierda, centro y derecha debe denunciar estas compras de votos populistas (interrail, cine gratis, 400 euros para videojuegos), que son un enorme despilfarro sin aumentar igualdad o eficiencia . https://www.elconfidencial.com/espana/2023-05-14/sanchez-anuncia-bono-mayores-65-anos-cine-dos-euros_3629321/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=BotoneraWeb

RT @DAcemogluMIT: Today is a historic day for Turkey. One of the most important elections of the last several decades. Not an exaggeration to say that the future of Turkish democracy is at stake. Impatiently, awaiting results and hoping for a clear mandate for the opposition.

It is quite obvious: let them "throttle it" and let the Turkish government face the public consequences. The precedent (any government can threaten to shut it off and win the right to censor opposition) is the opposite of what you claim to fight for.
RT @elonmusk: @mattyglesias Did your brain fall out of your head, Yglesias? The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets. Which one do you want?

It is unconsciounable countries are not doing much more to mitigate covid (and other) learning loss. Here is a ramdomized multi-country control trial of a simple intervention, with clear gains. Very impressive.

We end the wet dreams of Islamists across the world.

But they never suffer the consequences.
We’re going to beat them too. https://t.co/mdvJqg0MKW
