@wwwojtekk @Afinetheorem "never mattered" is a bit an overstatement if one looks at the work of Roemer, Morishima, even a bit of Arrow's (labor theory of value in general equilibrium). Models of ressource allocation Ă la Moulin or those of 2-class economy Ă la Judd 1985 also have marxian roots

This is such a cool way to disseminate research
That's a wrap on another year of groundbreaking UC research. From learning how to communicate with whales (and potentially đœ), to vaporizing plastic trash, read about some of the most memorable and impactful research from across the UC system in 2024

Le gov wallon veut une 'culture de l'évaluation'. Super! @DESQUESNESF reçoit un rapport qui démontre que "la semi-gratuité n'est pas corrélée à l'augmentation de la fréquentation". Mais corrélation n'est pas causalité. P-e utiliser des chercheurs pour une étude causale?
Fin de la quasi-gratuité des bus wallons pour les jeunes : pas encore actée, mais déjà critiquée

Dans n'importe quelle entreprise, un employĂ© qui utilise des fonds professionnels pour jouer au golf pendant ses heures est virĂ© et doit rembourser. Dans la fonction publique bruxelloise, il prend une rĂ©duction de 10% du salaire pendant 3 mois et pourra ĂȘtre renouvelĂ©.

@jbmichau Si ils pouvaient faire ça du jour au lendemain sans crier gare, ça nous ferait au moins une belle Ă©valuation quasi-expĂ©rimentale des effets des rĂ©gulations du temps de travail đ

Let's add some Tony Atkinson - inequality measurement, Atkinson-Stiglitz theorem
Nobels I wish would be awarded to the following economists for contributions that mattered heavily when they were done and upon which many have built entire edifices 1. Erwin Diewert -- price indexes 2. Robert Barro -- bonds, ricardian equivalence, growth 3. Al Harberger -- monopoly, deadweight loss measurement, corporate taxes 4. Anne Krueger -- rent-seeking 5. Gordon Tullock (posthumously) -- rent seeking, bureaucracies, social dilemma, wealth redistribution

Tiens donc, c'est pas vrai, les économistes avaient ils raison? Contrairement à ce que les professionnels du secteur assuraient sur QR @RTBFinfo il y a deux mois? I repeat: la réforme augmentera les ventes et les prix. Et profitera surtout aux vendeurs
