I agree--France and Sweden was very strange--they were flying on the field and you would only hear "les bleus" from time to time--what a waste--Brazil team better get better soon (I mean in the next 12 years) so all the magic is not wasted like that

Read my reflection in Memoriam of Christopher A. Sims: larspeterhansen.org/news/art…
People have been telling the “one day investors will dump the U.S. boyfriend” story for a long time. Tyler’s point is simple: the fiscal situation is a mess, but if markets were looking for a new boyfriend--prices would tell us.

Everyone's warning about a US fiscal crisis.
So why is the 10-year yield only 4%?

In case you missed it! @TylersMuir lays out for @DavidBeckworth why QE matters.

Very happy that our paper received the DFA Prize for Best Paper in the Journal of Finance.
The literature on wealth inequality has been highly influential in public debates, yet it largely ignores a key way households save over the life cycle: Social Security.
We show that including the fair value of accrued benefits in wealth substantially mutes the rise in wealth inequality since 1989.
Its importance has grown dramatically over the past three decades. In 1989, Social Security represented only 26.0% of the wealth of the bottom 90%. In 2019, this percentage rose to 49.8%. We cannot understand household balance sheets without paying attention to Social Security.
🧵🚨Accepted paper🧪
with @mjmill611 (Harvard) and @NatashaRSarin (Yale)
Existing studies paint an incomplete picture of trends in wealth inequality in the US. When Social Security is properly accounted for, wealth inequality has not really increased over the past three decades.

Insights are short (<7,000 words) high quality pieces. Perspectives outline promising future research directions.

This makes me think of Chico Lopez “Banda diagonal endogena “ — endogenous diagonal band — that lead to very rapid devaluation of the Brazilian real that only stoped once Arminio Fraga

totally agree with Val, but I would put it differently: the fact that prices respond to announcement of purchases and not the purchases themselves tell us that these effects are not about short-term plumbing frictions. Whether it is "demand" depends on your identification

“Causation does not imply variation.”
— an important warning by @tylersmuir, which prompted thoughtful comments by @JohnHCochrane on the causal effects of selling pressure in stock markets.

Unfortunately, John slips into the same fallacy... 🧵
"Causation does not imply variation." A lovely saying coined by Tyler Muir with applications to price pressure in stocks and the causality revolution in applied micro. Just because x causes y does not mean most variation in y is caused by x.

After 8 amazing years at the University of Rochester / Simon (simon.rochester.edu/), today is my last day at this incredible institution.
It’s been a transformative place for me and my family, and I’ll always be grateful for how warmly we were welcomed and supported.
We also loved living in Rochester:
– The beautiful lakes in summer
– The snowy (very snowy) winters
– A great public school system
– Music from Eastman (though I did go to way too many Nutcrackers...)
- Waking up 30 minutes before boarding
- The Erie Canal!
