Today the paper I am most proud of in my whole career came out as an NBER Working Paper. It took us a decade; all of our hard work is evident in its quality. I'm giving an ungated link to the pdf.
"Correcting for Heterogeneity in the Use of Subjective Scales"
@Dan_J_Benjamin is my only coauthor on X.
Here is the NBER page:

My forecast error for the Nobel Prize is lower when only one person wins. 😆

I look forward to a lot of great presentations in Athens!
It was a pleasure to present my paper „Loanly Governments“ (with Lukas Diebold) at the @nberpubs ISOM
Next stop SED in Athens, where I will present new work with @isaacbaley , Lora Pavlova, @almostcertainly and @javier_turen on frictional forecasts: July 2, 15:00-16:30, Alpha 32
Super interesting! A possible reason for the micro–macro gap: who captures the productivity gains.
arxiv.org/abs/2510.21959 finds when productivity rises wage growth expectations barely move. If this generalizes, macro stats based on wages per worker may miss much of AI's impact.
Thanks for inviting me to present "which macro news matters for price-setting?" with @LukasHack_ at @oenb
We use high-frequency event studies & find that inflation & employment surprises imply significant revisions in firms' pricing. Check the paper👇

My paper "Which Macroeconomic News Matters for Price-Setting?" (w/ @almostcertainly) is available as @CESifoNetwork WP: shorturl.at/1xJBe.
I also presented it at @cepr_org MEF Annual Symposium, @ifo_Institut survey conference & the @bundesbank real time data conference.
Excellent workshop, great discussions, and a fantastic venue! I presented new work (in progress) with Eckhard Janeba, Felix Köhler and Paul Steger on what the city of Mainz did with its excess tax revenue of 3.3 billion € or about 12,600 per capita due to a business breakthrough
