Det er 15 år siden 22. juli. Mer enn en million nordmenn er for unge til å huske det høyreekstreme terrorangrepet som drepte 77 personer.

Nå har AUF samlet inn historier om de 77 som døde den dagen. Anbefaler alle å følge 77 historier på Instagram, og gjerne bidra til å spre.

Regjeringen dropper endringer i hytteskatten Regjeringen vil ikke følge opp arbeidet med en ny modell for verdsettelse av fritidsboliger. Dermed er det fryktede skattesjokket for hytteeiere avlyst. – Arbeiderparti-regjeringen kommer ikke til å f...

En utrolig dårlig og feig avgjørelse. Dagens skatteverdi har ingen sammenheng med reell verdi, og gir store lettelser til de som sitter på verdifulle, gamle hytter i populære områder. www.nrk.no/nyheter/regj...

Jeg har skrevet i Dagsavisen - blant annet om NRKs uforståelige valg om å kringkaste Danby Choi og Asle Toje i anledning nasjonaldagen.

How Economics Discovered Women by Shelly Lundberg - Hardcover Scholarship is a powerful tool for changing how people think, plan, and govern. By giving voice to bright minds and bold ideas, we seek to foster understanding and drive progressive change.

My book (!) How Economics Discovered Women is now available for pre-order from the University of California Press. The book is a survey and critique of how the economics of gender has developed since the mid-1970s. www.ucpress.edu/books/how-ec...

Understanding Support for Inefficient Environmental Policy Instruments

Why do governments use costly enviro standards, not more efficient pollution taxes or cap & trade?

Voters misunderstand some economic principles

The Climate Policy Paradox: Why Voters Reject the Tools that Economists Advocate Most Economists overwhelmingly favor carbon taxes and cap-and-trade over environmental regulatory standards, but voters disagree. Our new research shows that simple economic misunderstandings help expla…

Want to understand why environmental economists don’t like your favorite policies? Like fuel subsidies or Norgespris? Why you don’t like ours? Like taxes on CO2? Here’s a read for you:

Congratulations! Amazing paper.

PS: What strategy are you playing here? You’re hiding the 🤯-fact that the ”industry-standard”-equilibrium is the worst of all possible equilibrium deep down in the thread.🤣

Great start to a working week for me & my coauthor Florian Wagener: our paper 'Markov-perfect equilibria in differential games -- with an application to climate policy' has been accepted at @reveconstudies.bsky.social!

It's the first top-5 for either of us, so this is an important moment. 🥳🍾 1/11

I guess back in the day if fans got in trouble in Russia or Qatar the notion was Europe would have means to pressure those countries to let them leave. In the US on the other hand… Mostly it has some Berlin 1936 vibes for me. So any attempt to make the WC an underwhelming event is good I suppose.

What happened to thinking on the margin here? There’ll be some effect, hopefully?!?

Mener det vil ta minst 20 år før det kan bli kjernekraft i Norge Kjernekraftutvalget la onsdag morgen frem sin rapport. En konklusjon er klar. Det er ikke realistisk med kjernekraft i Norge før tidligst i midten av 2040-årene.

Det er ikke realistisk med kjernekraft i Norge før tidligst i midten av 2040-årene.
Dette er en av konklusjonene i rapporten fra kjernekraftutvalget, som peker på flere utfordringer med kjernekraft (bl.a. høye kostnader)

The Many Possible Futures of Climate Models Kilometer-scale models, machine learning and model diversity

Wrote about the new approaches people are taking to building climate models: km-resolution, automated tuning, ML emulators…

Climate has benefited from having 10s of models to test and compare, now we have new dimensions of model diversity to learn from

Half of social-science studies fail replication test in years-long project Results from massive, ‘eagerly awaited’ initiative reinforce concerns about the credibility of science — but raise hope for solutions.

A massive seven-year project exploring 3,900 social-science papers has ended with a disturbing finding

go.nature.com/4bZ9k0W

🧵1/ Our first meta-science paper (with 350+ coauthors) is published today in Nature. It presents one of the largest-ever reproducibility projects in economics & political science.

Here’s what we found 👇

Nature meta-research project puts claims in social-science paper to the test. Refs in last post

I'm interested in Econ and Psych so I focused on that:

Econ had about the same rate of "not reproducible" analyses as Psych and a worse rate then Political Science.

🚨New working paper alert! 🚨

The US spends huge $ on special education services for students with disabilities. Is that spending effective?

Today we released a working paper suggesting it is.

"Special Education Substantially Improves Learning: Evidence from Three States"

Let me explain...

Examining when a commonly applied class of elasticity of taxable income (ETI) estimands can be used to learn about individuals’ ETI parameters and their (un)compensated elasticities of labor supply, from Graber, Håvarstein, Mogstad, Torsvik, and Vestad www.nber.org/papers/w34987

Really very happy to see our paper covered in Nature Magazine

Students know exactly where learning happens – and it's not in the upload Exams, placements, seminars, peer explanation – students name the moments that made learning stick. Jim Dickinson argues the common thread is accountability, not format

A really worthwhile study of what assignments students themselves found to be best for their learning, especially in an AI context. Spoiler alert: it’s NOT take-home essays. It’s all the stuff AI can’t do. And it’s mostly in-person.

Så nu ska alltså Sverige - i sällskap med flera andra länder - driva en politik som ökar efterfrågan på fossila drivmedel. Ryssland lär blir glada när våra minskade skatteintäkter blir till höjda priser på landets huvudsakliga exportvaror.

Vedum sikrer flertall for hastebehandling: Full strid på rødgrønn side Senterpartiet påførte Ap et nederlag og sikret flertall for hastebehandling av et Høyre-forslag om billigere bensin. Nå åpner også Rødt for å kutte avgiftene på drivstoff.

Savner litt det globale perspektivet her. Norge er kanskje det landet i verden som blir minst påvirket av de høye drivstoffprisene. I fattige land kommer dette til å føre til sult og død. Det er derfor IEA ber alle land om å bidra til å spare drivstoff.

Revoke their economist membership cards immediately. Our motto is ”Well it depends…” for a reason!

In my experience economists don’t board hype trains… so… both? 😉

Human knowledge will still be needed – Tatyana Deryugina Tatyana Deryugina

Some argue that generative AI marks the end of human-generated knowledge. I’m skeptical.

A simple thought experiment: train the best AI on everything humanity knew in 1875. Would it have discovered relativity, quantum mechanics, DNA?

Unlikely.
