If business cycles are (at least partly) caused by forces endogenous to the economy, rather than by exogenous shocks, it is much easier to explain why economic activity tends to co-move across countries.

New paper in JEBO: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kB5Vc24b7...

🧵👇

Trust, Populism and the Psychology of Broken Contracts Many explanations have been offered for this lack of trust and rise in populism: economic dislocation, demographic shifts, immigration and, of course, the growth of social media.

As we try to understand the causes of the rise of autocratic, ethno-nationalist populism in the US and around the world, it's critial to understand the psychology that underpins these politics. My essay "Trust, Populism and the Psychology of Broken Contracts" www.edelman.com/trust/edelma...

Too much efficiency leads to delays - Nature Reviews Physics A paper in Nature Physics puts forward a statistical mechanics theory to explain the risks of not having enough slack in a time-sensitive system.

Extremely happy to see that our paper in Nature Physics got an editor's pick :)
