Economists do NOT "put a price on nature". The "price" revealed by how we consume something. It's society, our collective actions, that "puts a price" on nature. Economists just help point out just how ridiculously low this price is given how scarce natural ecosystems are.
Like
@GeorgeMonbiot
& others, I'm wary of economists trying to 'put a price on nature'.
But I was surprised to see the
#DasguptaReview
make a strong case for actually *putting large parts of the biosphere off-limits to the market*.

I had the same concern as
@ImranRasul3
so this summer we only invited untenured faculty, postdocs and PhD students to present at our theory seminars. Pretty amazing to hear fantastic talks from all the world without having to worry about budget allocation...
I worry that in a world of online conferences, younger scholars have fewer opps to present, crowded out by everyone chasing big names.
So, should double blind reviewing be the norm when organizing online conferences?

Banerjee, Duflo, and Kremer have revolutionised development economics by infusing it with experimental rigour. "Poor Economics" is a beautifully written summary of their work and one of the best books about economics.

@coreeconteam
Mnuchin, sadly, makes sense. If Greta were to study mainstream economics, she would spend several semesters studying models of markets in which neither a climate disaster nor an economic crisis is possible. Time to transform both econ policy AND economics!

Excellent thread on Brutalism, but I vehemently disagree that Trellick is "boring". It's a spectacular piece of urban architecture, remarkable in almost every way you look at it. After we left London, my wife bought me a photo of it by Alex Scheidemann which hangs in my office...
Something like Trellick Tower in London, built in 1972 and designed by Ernő Goldfinger, is often held up as an example of Brutalism.
That is true in some sense, but as you can tell from the other buildings shared here, Trellick Tower represents its most watered-down form.

People in boats, risking their lives to come to Britain, ARE genuine refugees. They are not stealing any places because there aren't any places to steal. There is no queue. Britain accepts a tiny fraction of the world's refugees and hasn't resumed its Syrian resettlement scheme.
“People who are coming across the Channel in dinghies… are effectively queue jumping.”

MP says migrants who cross the English Channel are “stealing places from those genuine refugees who are playing by the rules”

It means that if you start at any profile and myopically follow best responses you will eventually reach a Nash (generically you will never even revisit a profile) in a large enough game. In particular, you don't need to be smart about learning dynamics; the simplest thing works!

This is the paper. If they are right, this is maybe the most important paper in climate change and energy economics in a long time. And I really hope they are right. Of course, if everyone believes they are right & acts accordingly, they will be right...

Yaonan Jin and Pinyan Lu establish that the Price of Anarchy in first-price auctions with independent values is 1 − 1/e^2, finally closing the gap between best known bounds. What a beautiful result! (Their results for PoS are here:)

Finally! As Ravi showed cadet-branch matching can be viewed as a version of Kelso and Crawford's (1982) "job market with salaries" (where "salaries" are actually years of service): . Anyway, Deferred Acceptance strikes again!
Seven years after Sönmez & Switzer (2013) and Sönmez (2013) were published, the proposed mechanism for cadet-branching matching has been adopted and will be used for the Class of 2021!

Any department would be lucky to hire Vatsal who is an extremely talented applied microeconomist working on how social networks affect development, education and, most interestingly (in his JMP), mental health. (To his credit, he's published a lovely theory paper, too!) He's a💎!

I think if you get asked by Brit, don't even say you're "willing to do it". They will assume that your main joy in life comes from tenure letters/university committees.
