📊 💡 Depuis 2000, la Chine s’est imposée comme un acteur majeur du commerce mondial, remettant en cause la prépondérance des pays du G7, y compris dans des secteurs hi-techs longtemps dominés par ces économies comme l’automobile.

What are the worst ethical disasters in NLP history?
(I'm teaching "ethics of NLP" tomorrow and history is good for teaching this topic.)
Most are data breaches/releases (AOL search logs, OKCupid profiles, Finnish therapy records...) but what others?
I'll put some other examples in thread --> 1/n
NEW | Record exports of solar, batteries and EVs last month 📈
China’s exports for the ‘new three’ industries reached a record high of $21.9bn in March 2026, up 70% year-on-year, in the wake of the US-Israel war with Iran and changing export rebates for solar and batteries.
... and there are weeks where decades happen.

Today the Trump administration finally begins returning more than $166 billion (plus interest) collected from the tariffs the President imposed starting last year.
The Supreme Court struck down those tariffs two months ago.

China has rapidly overtaken the U.S. in total scientific output - including top journals. Other middle- and low-income countries - India, Russia and Brazil - have also increased their research output, collectively matching the total production of high-income EU countries.

Valeur de la vie, d'une course de taxi, du m2, d'un litre d'essence, de la grande barrière de corail, du travail domestique, du sang, du futur, etc... des objects parfois inattendus, des méthodes qui ont donné lieu à de nombreux débats
J'ai réalisé pour @franceculture.fr un podcast sur l'histoire des méthodes que les économistes ont développé pour donner une valeur, ou un prix, aux "choses de la vie" depuis 100 ans

Huge congrats to Antoine Missemer on receiving the CNRS Bronze Medal! A well-deserved recognition for an outstanding historian of economic thought — rigorous, incredibly hardworking, and genuinely humble. Great news not just for him, but for the whole field.

Its worse than you think. The coming global food crisis #TheyDidThis
"This piece by Adam Hanieh is one of the best compact accounts I’ve read of the actual material implications of shutting off shipping through Hormuz. Well worth reading."

WEEKEND READ: What is the price of oil — the real one?
"My attempt to shed light into the PHYSICAL and FINANCIAL oil markets, and why you can pick up a barrel of crude for $78 in Kansas or $286 in Sri Lanka."

Some (late) highlights from the #EHS100 @echistsoc.bsky.social
Amazing centenary sessions in general, and in part. the one on the history of economic history, incl. Maxine Berg's contribution on Eileen Power and her role in the field's institutionalization (and kitchen parties) 1/
La France était jusque-là plus égalitaire que la moyenne, jusqu’en 2021, ou à peu près aussi égalitaire. A présent, elle ne figure plus qu’au 17e rang des pays européens les plus égalitaires, alors même qu’elle est le seul au monde à afficher l’égalité dans sa devise.
I have a small collection of snapshots from 1980s Artifical Intelligence books, and guess what:
[Automating the Synthesis of Expertise (1984), from the book "Machine Intelligence", second edition]
Truly one of the decisions of all time.
If the reviewers were overloaded, why not just make the applications more lightweight?
Now people spend months writing a B2 that no one reads, and may never get a shot at improving it. After 2 years an application idea is probably redundant, anyways.

Day 17 of the #30DayChartChallenge: Remake 📊
🛠️ A remake of a remake! This is a remake of a chart I originally made with #RStats a few years ago then remade with #Python for the Plotnine contest, and remade again today - this time using LibreOffice Calc!

The point is not to criticise and I think these initiatives to ensure transparency in the use of LLMs for research are important... but this should also prompt us, as researchers, to reflect on our practices when the carbon footprint of writing a paper is comparable to flying from Paris to Berlin...

SocArXiv is accepting about 12.9 new papers per day for the last three months (not counting revisions). That's a pace of almost 5000 per year.
New QJE paper measures spending flows between 1000s of small groups of consumers and producers, government, rest of the world. Most consumer spending stays domestic, esp in rural, older, less-educated areas->higher fiscal multipliers; targeting "left-behind" groups boosts economy

Very useful comparative oil shock data viz.
Every major oil shock, put on the same timeline. The 1973 embargo was the longest lasting. The 1990 Gulf War was the biggest reversal. The 2026 Hormuz crisis is the steepest climb and drop. But the line isn't finished yet.
