Elsevier has a 38% profit margin, and the other journal publishers aren't far behind.
I am not being hyperbolic when I say that how Harvard and the economics profession respond to Larry Summers will determine who makes up the next generation of economists.

But will we adapt? Probably. Nevertheless, super cool (or hot?) study! #econsky
Looks like the right amount of surface parking--basically token tailgate lots and that's it.

Timely paper about the impact of funding gaps in science. #econsky
Trump says interest rates should go lower (again). Evidence, theory... time inconsistency. A teachable moment #econsky

Some nerdy repo jokes going down today:
Person A: At a repo pizza party
Person B: Do you have to give it back?
