Interesting whether the Manhattan Cuomo supporters have any superior information or are expressive betting In general a nice test of how betting markets aggregate info here

Cuomo leads Manhattan traders 57%-36%, dominating his NYC base (63%). Mamdani leads in Queens (54%-33%) and edges Cuomo in Brooklyn (46%-42%). High early turnout in pro-Cuomo Manhattan, especially the Upper East Side, could be a red flag for Mamdani.

Let me explain why I believe modern economics is such a powerful tool for understanding the world. I’ll do this by discussing a great paper by Simone Cerreia-Vioglio, @UncertainLars, Fabio Maccheroni, and Massimo Marinacci, “Making Decisions Under Model Misspecification,”…

I have a truly fantastic Econ PhD job market candidate on the market this year: Francisco Bullano is a macroeconomist whose research bridges public economics and health. His Web page: franciscobullano.com Please look at his job market package very closely.

The use of formal math in economics took off in the mid-20th century, as during that time, economic debates using verbal language started to run into corners. For example, the Keynes-Hayek business cycle theory debate in the 1930s, where each responded to the other's positions…

The "official" justification for the use of mathematics in economics is to force the economist to be fully explicit, showing the "internal structure" of their reasoning by articulating it using a fully explicit formal machinery. I think this justification makes a lot of sense.

Got a 97 on my grad measure theory midterm, I can finally sleep well at night😌 Next up, the final, followed by Duffie’s (in)famous Asset Pricing course!


Does it say anything that grad programs are seemingly taking the brunt of these cuts?
