WHAT DOES JD VANCE SAY ABOUT MICHIGAN BEATING OHIO STATE?

Kalel Mullings: "Some people gotta learn how to lose."

I’m amused by some of ChatGPT’s memories about me from previous conversations. Imagine working with ChatGPT on an unrelated task and getting the response: “By the way, how was the dinner event where your advisor explicitly allowed you to bring a plus-one?”

We are very excited to release a new working paper (joint work with Ran Abramitzky, Jenna Kowalski, and Joe Price). I am especially excited as this paper has been in the making for a long time (4 years 😬). nber.org/system/files/workin…

I’ve obviously been despairing for most of the day, but my landlord’s message breaking the election result (in case the news hadn’t reached Switzerland) is making me laugh

One feature I love about this paper is Ian’s ability to distinguish ability among high achievers whose ability would be censored using conventional measures (e.g. SAT). His JMP provides new insight into the role of mentors in the production of talent. Take note, #econjobmarket

I’m nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden, who has served our country with every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinction. Not only has he been—and will continue to be—the most effective president of our lifetime, but he has likely already cemented himself as the most effective and impactful public servant in our nation’s history. He has been at the center of, and had a material impact on, literally every single major issue that our country and world has faced for 50 years. Our world is better today in so many ways thanks to him. To the Americans who have always had his back, keep the faith. He will always have ours.
