Excited this is finally out as @nberpubs working paper. New results in this updated version where we decompose welfare effects into distinct qualitative transportation channels. Read the paper and learn about what exactly drives the welfare effects of transport investments.
Examining how multimodal transport networks shape the economic and environmental impacts of infrastructure investments and disruptions, from @simonfuchs4 and @WoanFoongWong nber.org/papers/w35065

In our latest @stlouisfed blog post, we document using data from Global Trade Alert, how export controls, licensing requirements, and other targeted trade measures have expanded sharply since 2019, especially in strategic and high-technology sectors.

U.S. freight is a network of networks.
This figure from @SimonFuchs4 and @WoanFoongWong's "Multimodal Transport Networks" paper shows traffic across rail, roads, waterways, and ports.
More than half of distance-weighted U.S. freight uses multiple modes.
They show the most important bottlenecks are not always on the road or rail line itself, but at the places where goods switch between them.

Yes, one can always carve out a category. But #2 in Amazon's Econometrics & Statistics — behind @JohnAList's book — is real enough for me.
Discrete Choice Models, released just two days ago via @PrincetonUPress. I have to admit: this feels pretty awesome.

Again, the whole system is open-source (github.com/Davidvandijcke/co…) so there are no hidden costs, and you can check what the system does by looking at the source code.
My hope is that many people will contribute code and submit issues to make this open system as good as possible!
