RT @Birdyword: It is amazing that the idea of escaping volatility by investing in things that are not marked to market regularly has gained such prominence. It's the financial equivalent of infant children believing that the room disappears when their eyes are covered.
So true.
RT @O_Goss_: Denis had the most original sense of humour in the world. smart, slightly dry, but never snarky.
Beautiful column by Roland Fryer searching a way out of the sterile debate on affirmative action while explaining how it shaped his own life. Many have gotten lost in a debate about machine learning, when the column is much more.

@StephenEKHansen @EconUCL @UCLPolicyLab @StoneEcon_UCL @TheIFS Awesome news! Congratulations!
HEC has set up a book for everyone to leave in writing a memory that links you to Denis or any message you wish to publish at: Livredor-gromb@hec.fr. They will compile the messages and give them to his wife and daughter
I am stunned and saddened to learn about the death of Denis Gromb. A wonderful, warm person, and an excellent economist. He has left us way too early. My sincere condolences to his friends, colleagues at @hec and family.

El gobierno Chino se emperra en evitar las vacunas que funcionan (pista: son occidentales), y crea una distopía cada vez más absurda.
El capítulo de hoy: cierra el Diseny de Shanghai. Los que estén dentro no podrán salir.
RT @robseamans: Shanghai Disney shuts over Covid, visitors unable to leave
RT @AmitEcon: After many years! Zeroes in microeconomic data remains a challenging problem despite advances in selection bias and censoring. I'd love to say we cracked this problem for demand estimation, but really the paper is just a start. Hope others can help us continue to illuminate.
An excellent visual explanation by the @Guardian of what happened in Korea. See this chart in particular: a change from aproximately 4 to 6 individuals per square meter changes us from behaving like people to behaving like fluids

@JohnHCochrane You will be less surprised if you read this hard to believe piece for a medical journal (what do editors believe is the value added of wasting their credibility to publish an opinion article on a topic on which they have no expertise?) https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)01662-2/fulltext
Apple's $275bn bet on China looks worse every day. Prison conditions for labor, child labor, technology transfer...
RT @StephenMcDonell: Workers have broken out of #Apple’s largest assembly site, escaping the Zero #Covid lockdown at Foxconn in #Zhengzhou. After sneaking out, they’re walking to home towns more than 100 kilometres away to beat the Covid app measures designed to control people and stop this. #China
Agree. Must read.
RT @philipstephens: Forget the breathless day to day commentary. This is a masterful, and beautifully written, summation of the impact of Brexit on the country and the Tory party. Superb read. https://t.co/GO6e8NiFMY

As a way to explain how it (does not) functions, the ESM uses a set of gears that actually cannot turn. A good metaphor for this intricate mechanism that, in practice, has proven to toxic to use by European governments?

RT @spignal: @lugaricano @BBC I don't understand why no economists warned about this.
The @bbc, finally, facing the Brexit reality: getting out of a Customs Union and Single Market and rasing non tariff barriers is economically very damaging. Who would have thought?
RT @BBCRosAtkins: This week, Rishi Sunak talked of building 'an economy that embraces the opportunities of Brexit'. Here's 5 mins on Brexit's impact on the economy so far. Produced by Mary Fuller and Nicholas Barrett. You can watch the full edition of 'On…
Buenísima noticia: Google apuesta por España, apuesta por Málaga, para su centro global de ciber seguridad.
Gran vídeo.
RT @Kent_Walker: This will be game-changing: In 2023, Málaga Spain will become our newest Google Safety Engineering Center, a global hub for cybersecurity and malware research. #GSEC
Super interesante: la invasión de Ucrania tiene sentido si pensamos en Putin como Tony Soprano.
RT @mattsteinglass: A theory about why Putin invaded Ukraine that circulates in the anti-corruption community is that it was triggered by Ukraine's steady sidelining of the corrupt oligarchs and power structures which Russia counted on to surreptitiously control the country. 1/
I cannot speak as to the legality of changing the terms of the TLTRO3. Indeed, the changes in the terms are pretty sharp. But economically, this direct subsidy of taxpayers did not make any sense.
