Our article about the role of legal scholars in counter-populism is now available at ICON. It might have some takeaways for the US now.

Bottom line: legal scholars are uniquely positioned to expose untruths about law/institutions, which often form the core of the populist argument.

The economics of "non-smooth" disruptions in networks (of production, trade, finance, etc.) is relatively new and embarrassingly underdeveloped.

This survey is a starting point for those who are interested.

Abstract. Natural disasters are growing in frequency globally. Understanding how vulnerable populations respond to these disasters is essential for effective policy response. This paper explores the short- and long-run consequences of the 1906 San Francisco Fire, one of the largest urban fires in American history. Using linked Census records, I follow residents of San Francisco and their children from 1900 to 1940. Historical records suggest that exogenous factors such as wind and the availability of water determined where the fire stopped. I implement a spatial regression discontinuity design across the boundary of the razed area to identify the effect of the fire on those who lost their home to it. I find that in the short run, the fire displaced affected residents, forced them into lower paying occupations and out of entrepreneurship. Experiencing the disaster disrupted childrenโ€™s school attendance and led to an average loss of six months of education. While most effects attenuated over time, the negative effect on business ownership persists even in 1940, 34 years after the fire. Therefore, my findings reject the hope for a โ€œreversal of fortuneโ€ for the victims, in contrast to what is found for more recent natural disasters such as hurricane Katrina.

The 1906 San Francisco Fire was one of the largest urban fires in American history.

@hannaschwank.bsky.social's excellent paper on its long-run consequences has sadly become very timely.

Luckily we have learned some lessons (e.g. insurance more common), still an invaluable piece of research.

This is very good, especially in its emphasis in beliefs about other peopleโ€™s beliefs. Beliefs-about-beliefs are more or less the basis of social reality itself. At the same time I tend to think this is a new iteration of a problem that has recurred since mass literacy and mass democracy emerged.

Ever wondered why presenting more facts can sometimes *worsen* disagreements, even among rational people? ๐Ÿค”

It turns out, Bayesian reasoning has some surprising answers - no cognitive biases needed! Let's explore this fascinating paradox quickly โ˜บ๏ธ

New Working Paper: Teenage boys and girls in Norway are more ideologically polarized than ever. Using data for 130,000 high-schoolers over 34 years, I find that a surge in anti-feminism among boys is driving much of the recent trend.๐Ÿ“ˆ
