I set up a new website to host my working papers, notes, and teaching material. E.g., here are my notes on postgrad macroeconomics:

Please feel free to use and share — but do be on the lookout for typos! I’ll have to do a major typo fix at some point…

Our paper on the availability of wage information in job postings is now in Labour Economics. Data is high quality and tells an important story: employers really don't tend to include wages in their ads. Important facts for thinking through how labor markets work.

Recently, I received a review of a text of mine (which I wrote based on a text written by myself) saying it was 21% human. Of course I never thought to verify it was not AI as I did the job.
As a non-native English speaker I must check my grammar and spelling mistakes. Is that process enough to move a 100% human written text to a 21% when you had at most 5 corrected mistakes?
Turns out I submitted myself the original text and it said 85% human… so I went from a bias of 15pp to 79pp after my checks.
This verification process only benefits native speakers who can confidently trust their own words. A huge disadvantage for people coming from a non-English speaking background.

Review of Economic Studies is happy to announce the launch of the new journal, Review of Economic Studies: Insights. This is an open-access, general-interest economics journal that will publish short papers with a fast review process and accept/reject decisions.

The silver lining of AI in econ research: replications and accuracy should significantly improve.
The amount of articles that were published in the 2000s — coinciding with big advancements in computational power but janky software/code — I’ve tried but failed to replicate…

The "China shock" narrative illustrates why the lack of debate is a problem in economics.
Autor et al. published a series of articles that have since been falsified by subsequent research. However, few realize this, which means the articles persist, like zombies. 1/8

🚨 New Paper Draft🚨 How do families share income risk across borders? We use 150m+ transactions from a global money transfer operator (MTO) to study remittances at high frequency, and build an open-economy HANK model with cross-border families. Joint with @adisoenarjo 1/10
I have very mixed feelings about this.
If not handled correctly, this will be a disaster to the field.

Recent technological breakthroughs raise an important question for policymakers: will higher
productivity be inflationary or disinflationary?

Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.
After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.
We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.
Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.
Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

Some reports by economists on Fable:
> @joshgans: "While previous AI models were enthusiastic but slightly incompetent PhD students, this is something more; maybe along the lines of a future Nobel prize winner as a PhD student."
> Vincent Grégoire (@CodesFinance): "[Fable]'s report was an eye-opener. It actually managed to find closed-form solutions to a few of the proofs that all the previous models only managed to solve numerically. This is not easy math. ... [It also] identified many issues that Opus, Codex, Coarse, and Refine (and me) had missed. ... Again, all it took was one prompt for Fable to update everything."
