interesting working paper on effect of wealth taxation, in Norway 2021-2025. There is outmigration going on at the very top, but not much reduction in tax revenue. Also, no effect of startups and economic activity. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Trust in scientists depends not only on evidence, but also on perceived political identity. That’s one reason I believe academic associations like AAUP should avoid partisan endorsements and protect institutional neutrality.

The trigger points concept applies perfectly to sports: another German football failure, and suddenly it says something about the whole country.
Years of elite-level German basketball, including EuroBasket and World Cup titles? Somehow, that never gets projected back onto Germany.

There’s been a lot of buzz around the Borjas/Breznau (2026) paper (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...) and potential ideological bias in research.
We took a closer look at the data. Could there be a "bias in bias research"?
Here is what we found: www.econstor.eu/bitstream/10...

If anyone had any doubt about what kind of publisher Frontiers is, this is a shocking whistleblower account
Over the last month I saw that human editors are now stripped of control. I could no longer stop the system from auto-inviting "reviewers" with zero relevant expertise. Even worse - the AI began actively revoking the invitations I manually sent out to actual, qualified experts.
