    RIP. Bob Solow an absolute giant in Economics, has passed away at age 99. Tremendously influential in the profession and one of the key founders of the MIT Economics department as we live it today. Will be sorely missed.

    Realmente es criminal lo que hizo Massa. Es algo que tiene que ser repetido hasta el cansancio.
    Javier Milei a un año del inicio de su mandato: "Hace exactamente un año, un degenerado fiscal venía de imprimir 13 puntos del PBI para ganar una elección".

    Hats off to Javier Milei for creating this bond with the USA.
    Argentina is a systemically important U.S. ally in Latin America, and the @USTreasury stands ready to do what is needed within its mandate to support Argentina. All options for stabilization are on the table. 1/4

    I hope you are well, at least after controlling for time fixed effects.

    What’s something that’s clearly a scam but Americans have been conditioned to believe it’s “normal”?

    Inflation, what is its most proximate cause? What is the right general framework to think about this messy phenomenon? Very excited to put out this new paper exploring a generalized "conflict" perspective as the right answer. Paper here: economics.mit.edu/sites/default/… 🧵a thread...

    Dejo prometido acá que Si alguna vez mis acciones llevaran a que mi país pierda algo si como 16 mil millones dólares tendré un poco de autocrítica. Hasta creo que me entrarían serias dudas de mi capacidad o marco conceptual. Honestamente lo digo, no sé como hace Axel Kicillof.

    A un mes de la presidencia de @JMilei mi reflexión en lo económico es que las cosas van mejor de lo que esperaba, por una simple razón... ...y no se trata de shock vs gradualismo... ...veo una verdadera ambición de hacer cambios profundos hacia la eficiencia, no retoques.

    Can the negative supply shock from this pandemic lead to a demand deficient recession? Yes. Together with the brilliant Veronica Guerrieri, Guido Lorenzoni and Ludwig Straub, I explore the conditions for this to happen in this new paper. economics.mit.edu/files/19351 (start thread)

    Just finished this research with Daron Acemoglu, Victor Chernozhukov & Mike Whinston (I know, lucky for such an awesome eclectic team!) I'm exhausted from many late-night meetings, after kids in bed, so happy to see it out. nber.org/papers/w27102.… Let me explain it a bit. 1/n

    La neciedad de no permitir salir a correr en Argentina me tiene preocupado, no por la medida en sí, que no tiene ningun sustento, sino por lo que presagia. Decisiones que ignoran la ciencia y el sentido común a favor de politiquería y el arrogancia de redoblar la apuesta.

    What is the causal effect of a change in expected inflation on actual inflation? Which expectations matter most: short- or long-run? In a new paper I try to address these questions. A link to a very early draft (updates coming soon): dropbox.com/s/s7jipbmfgew3… A thread!
