🎥 My TV debut on @connectedTWplus ! I joined host Laurel Stewart and Prof. Yeh Yao-Yuan on The Chain Maker to discuss TSMC's potential Texas expansion from the perspective of a trade economist. My short take: Talent, industrial clusters, and global supply chains matter as much as incentives. Thanks to producer Celia Tang and senior correspondent Yu-Chen Chung for the invitation! 📺 Tune in on TaiwanPlus! MOD Ch. 558 | Satellite TV 7 | Online: taiwanplus.com/ #TSMC #TaiwanPlus #USCHIPACT
Why Texas? From the booming Silicon Prairie between Dallas and Sherman to world-class universities, population growth, and major port access, Texas is checking all the boxes. youtu.be/DnRG_TD_7ng?si=XRbY…

My Nobel lecture and the video of the Stockholm lecture are online. It covers what creative destruction tells us about secular stagnation, firm dynamics, the middle-income trap, and AI as the next GPT revolution. Paper: aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.12… Video: nobelprize.org/prizes/econom…

🚨美国版“耿同学”出现了? 普林斯顿中国留学生实名举报导师学术造假! 近日,普林斯顿大学心理学、神经科学系教授 Sabine Kastner被前组员在小红书上密集曝光:多篇顶刊(包括 Science、Nature Neuroscience)核心结果无法复现,要求学生、博后 cherry-pick 数据、删除不符合预期的结果,对不听话和举报的人直接开除。 实验室国际学生(尤其中国学生)占比极高,所以选择先在中文平台公开。 举报人(账号None of this matters)称: 去年10月因拒绝删除不符预期数据,被研究生主任 YN 和系主任 CLW 约谈。 系主任原话(英文原句+翻译):
“You questioned her (SK’s) integrity. We are a community. You attack one of us, you attack all of us.”
(举报就是质疑导师的人格,我们这些教授是一家人,你攻击一个人,就是攻击我们所有人。)
“There is free speech, and then there are consequences of free speech.”
(你有言论自由,但你要付出相应的代价。)
CLW 还说:“She (SK) demands loyalty. And I understand that.”
(SK 要求组员对她忠诚。我理解她。) 举报人随后向学校正式上报报复吹哨人,学校启动调查并保护了举报人,才得以留到现在。后续会陆续公开与 YN、CLW 以及普林斯顿调查组的邮件,以及更多无法复现的论文(已点名 Konen & Kastner 2008 Nature Neuroscience,多名前博后独立复现失败,最早可追溯到近20年前)。 目前已上报学校与NIH Office of Research Integrity。更多 raw data、code 和前组员证言正在整理中。 学术共同体如果把质疑数据直接等同于攻击人格,把忠诚置于可复现性之上,那这个系统本身就出了问题,即使是普林斯顿。 关注后续,证据说话。

Another plug for my short practical guide to getting started with Claude Code. I hope it’s useful!
I put together a short practical guide for economists who want to use Claude Code, but who haven't gotten around to trying yet. The goal is to reduce the start-up costs by using Claude Code within VS Code.

The seeds of the American Revolution were sown right here in Fairfax, where our founders said no to a king. Today, thousands of Fairfax families stood with millions of Americans nationwide to keep that spirit alive: No Kings. No crowns. No authoritarianism.

I am excited to announce that my work has been published in this special edition of the Global Taiwan Brief. Would you like to learn how we can estimate the cost of excluding Taiwan from the RCEP regional trade bloc? Additionally, could this assessment serve as a benchmark

I had the chance to attend the book launch event at the @AspenInstitute's Washington, D.C. headquarters today to speak with the author, Dr. @MikeGeruso, and Dr. Dean Spears, and to get a firsthand summary! I can't wait to read this book!
So excited that this will be out in the world tomorrow! And grateful to everyone who helped make it happen.

It’s a blessing that @bikhim is fine and safe. Thanks to the Czech Republic for its quick responses and increased safety protocol.
Just as CCP crushed democracy in Hong Kong, it tried crushing the car of VICE PRESIDENT of Taiwan INSIDE a NATO member state. This is the CCP’s criminality on display for the whole world to see. This isn’t diplomacy, it’s coercion.

In honor of @POTUS' historic trade action, USTR is spotlighting another 10 unfair trade practices faced by American exporters. 1/10: Over 100,000 Chinese-made American flags are sold every month on just one e-commerce platform alone, resulting in $2 million in lost sales for American manufacturers, which ultimately leads to lost job opportunities and business closures. American flags should be Made in America! Read the below thread for more.
