The amount of bad macro data still in circulation is staggering. That's exactly why the work of @KarstenMueIIer and @chenzix on the Global Macro Database is such a valuable public good.

Second, different sources often disagree. Sometimes this reflects genuine differences in definitions or methodology. But sometimes the data are simply wrong: misreported units, missed currency reforms, zeros instead of missing values, digitization errors. Surprisingly common.

Nobel season! Little experiment - I’ve made a prediction game: sfuchs-de.github.io/nobel-ex… Choose a team of economists for monday's announcement by spreading 100 credits across up to 10. You can change them until Sunday, Oct 11, at 8 p.m. Eastern. Just for fun and bragging rights!

I keep being told AI is about to bury the journals. Even if we set aside the "AI-written slop," it is possible that AI helps us so much we all become far more productive, which would overflow journals and make evaluation much harder. Long version: tinyurl.com/bdy2f4pw (1/N)

The AI overflow in economics that has not happened yet

It is not possible to just let probabilistic models throw hundreds (millions?) of attempts at a deterministic gate and see what sticks, without getting bored. A paper, or a model, cannot be cut into pieces with a clear success or fail outcome.

As Ukraine marks 35 years of independence, European support remains an important part of the picture. European institutions allocated almost €11bn in aid to 🇺🇦 in May & June, largely through the new Ukraine Support Loan. At the same time, Europe’s military support continues to rely heavily on US weapons — highlighting a broader challenge for European security.
