I can’t describe my happiness in finally seeing this paper out on @RevEconStudies. Most importantly, I want to express my gratitude to the many who have helped me during this journey of almost 9 years.
Patent term boosts long run innovation, but policy anticipation creates surprising, medium term dynamics: innovation rises before expected cuts and remains high due to spillovers. New paper by @EconFaber: restud.com/patent-term-innov… #REStud #EconX #EconTwitter

1/ New paper alert 👇👇👇 Did you ever imagine having conversations with thousands of people to better understand their views, beliefs, etc? In a new paper with Friedrich Geiecke, we introduce an open-source platform to run robust AI-led interviews: xavierjaravel.com/_files/ugd…

How does funding uncertainty affect science? Every Oct, we get headlines bemoaning the impact of the federal budgeting process on science. Does it matter that grant $$ takes a bit longer to get out the door, or is it just a nuisance we can deal with?

What is the state of academic science? It’s hard to tell with so many unobservables… so, we ran a big survey at ~150 US institutions to generate new findings about professors and their research. Our first draft is out with 7 key (preliminary) results using this new data:

*** Continuation of an academic debate I agree with @ojblanchard1 that price-level determination is at the core of monetary policy and short-run macro. Especially because it is fundamentally different from price-theory classical micro where the price level is indeterminate. 🧵
1. Triggered by the exchange with @R2Rsquared @AngelUbide, @Guido_Lorenzoni and others: The discussion was at the core of macro. The nature of the determinants of the price level is THE fundamental issue in thinking about short run fluctuations, not a marginal or esoteric issue.
