By "paradox" the author means Sutton (1991): greater competition => greater concentration. Okay. But you don't often hear people argue that the airline industry would be a better place if we brought the Civil Aeronautics Board back... theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Journos don't get it, but many academics here seem in denial too: There are no false positives in language-based plagiarism accusations. As long as you don't copy others' text, you will never be accused of such. Scumbag Rufo had an easy win because the examples were so obvious.

Full house yesterday to honor Heikki Rantakari at @SimonSchool, reflecting how much Heikki was loved by his students (MBA micro and game theory). His wife was presented with a signed jersey (see FB post for context) and a piece of art with memorial tributes arranged as game tree.

Btw all the artwork displayed around the room ( 2 pics from when they were at MIT) is Heikki's. Unbeknownst to many peers, he was a prolific painter, who approached art much like his research: with amazing attention to detail and different possibilities.

God I hate these scales. In what world are only top-20% students (esp. in my pool of people) "good" students?

More IO models (today, Salop @smith51082 not Hotelling) for the real world: "Europe’s first circular city". Alas, it looks like you can use the interior too. fastcompany.com/90964025/spa...

Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy.

I completely missed (and there was little on #EconTwitter ) that Oliver Hart was knighted last month, "for a sustained and exceptional contribution to economic theory." Congratulations Sir Oliver! thecrimson.com/article/2023/…

Why do students have 10x their normal opportunity cost of time during exams? The same people who worry about points on minor assignments leave a 3hr final exam 1hr early, when they could almost certainly add valuable points by refining their answers.
