A must read. “The Biden administration failed to seriously reckon with budget constraints…”
I have a new piece in @ForeignAffairs titled, "The Post-Neoliberal Delusion and the Tragedy of Bidenomics". They were generous about giving me a lot of words but were less generous with charts--so this long thread partially rectifies that. (And links to the piece at the end.)

One of the weird telltale signs of getting old is the Super Bowl halftime acts going from ‘old’ acts to bands you really like to artists you have no connection to.

This is, as usual when Sanderson creates a video, just fantastic. The greatest math and science communicator today.
I just put up a new video, which was a collaboration with Terence Tao about the cosmic distance ladder. You can find the full video on YouTube, and here's a bit of extra footage that didn't make it into the final.

Klar: bessere Politik braucht Deutschland schon lange. Aber die jetzige Regierung hat nicht gerade viel unternommen, den Trend zu verändern. Und der Abwärtstrend wurde in letzter Zeit ja noch schlimmer. Zum Habeck Fan macht mich die Grafik nicht.
Man sieht hier sehr schön den nahezu linearen Abwärtstrend in der Industrieproduktion seit 2017. Das heißt: Weder @roberthabeck noch die Ukrainekrise haben die Deindustrialisierung in Deutschland verursacht (im Krisenjahr 2022 geht es der Industrie sogar vergleichsweise gut).

A fantastic economist and a great choice for the CEA!
Prof. Kim Ruhl (UMN PhD 2004) of U. Wisconsin-Madison has been named as a member of President Trump's Council of Economic Advisors. I admire Kim for his service to our country, and I hope he is able to have a favorable influence on US economic policy.

Please tell me there is already a 30 for 30 documentary in the works about this trade.
“This deal materialized in the shadows … LeBron James had no idea this was coming. Anthony Davis had no idea this was coming. I’m told Luka Doncic is still stunned about this trade.” @ShamsCharania on the Anthony Davis-Luka Doncic trade between the Lakers and Mavericks

Herman van Dijk was a towering figure in Bayesian econometrics. His dedication to the field was amazing - you could count on him to give you very useful and detailed feedback, no matter how preliminary or crazy your project was. He will be sorely missed.
Herman van Dijk was a familiar face and a leading example for all of us @NorgesBank . Herman has been a giant in Bayesian econometrics but also a great mentor. We went skiing, we had good dinners, we even wrote a paper. Herman liked coming to Oslo and will be deeply missed 🥹.
