#CTE has earned its popularity. The research behind it is real, especially for young men who have been drifting away from school and work. But enrollment is not the goal. Opportunity is buff.ly/aWvg9vV

Thanks for having me on this panel on to discuss the work of my @ceidotorg colleagues & I on prediction markets’ benefits. I so enjoyed the discussion on this innovation & the right regulatory policy to govern it!

Prediction markets matter well beyond sports. This morning, PPI’s @MichaelMandel, @ceidotorg’s @jberlau, and Dartmouth’s Eric Zitzewitz explored how non-sports prediction markets can help small businesses hedge risk, workers plan careers, and policymakers see what’s ahead.

@BudgetBen of @PPI on #FacingTheFuture: fixing our fiscal math would take 4% real GDP growth every year, forever. Even an AI boom as big as the 90s internet boom "would not be enough" to get us there. Watch here: youtu.be/_q-fToJ69dw

"As DC’s example suggests, the most realistic way to desegregate our schools today might actually be to focus on improving their results first." - @JHWeissmann @voxdotcom @ppi vox.com/policy/505269/washin…

How one city made gains on school integration without trying

Washington, DC’s experience shows that progress is hard — but not impossible.

@BudgetBen of @PPI: "Everything you can do to bring [inflation] back down is gonna hurt." The real fix for affordability long-term is expanding supply, not quick pain-free wins. #FacingTheFuture Watch the full episode: youtu.be/_q-fToJ69dw

Who can beat Marine Le Pen? @debmattinson and I presented our latest research for @ppi in Paris this week. Le Pen’s National Rally maintain their lead as the field of opponents start to narrow. French voters told us they want change: economist.com/europe/2026/09…

France’s centre has one question: who can beat Marine Le Pen?

Seven months out, presidential candidates are lacklustre and there are too many of them
