Andrea Gazzani, Joseba Martinez, Filippo Natoli, & Paolo Surico use US patent data to show that publicly funded but privately owned patents - just 2% of all US patents - account for around 20% of medium-term fluctuations in productivity and growth.

The figure shows that government-funded patents account for a large share of the ‘most basic’ ones, according to measures of basicness based on patents’ similarity to subsequent ones (‘importance’) and on the number of citations to scientific papers (‘reliance on science’). The US has long been the world’s innovation powerhouse, based on a system that combines public funding with private initiative. Yet this model is under strain. Using newly digitised US patent data since 1950, this column shows that publicly funded but privately owned patents – just 2% of all US patents – account for around 20% of medium-term fluctuations in productivity and GDP growth. As funding cuts threaten the most productive funders of public R&D, the authors argue that America’s innovation edge rests on the visible hand of public support for basic research.

Excellent livre de Matthew Desmond, d'il y a quelques années. Mais manifestement il n'a (hélas) pas vieilli. Au contraire. Très bel exemple d'une sociologie qui, sans oublier les datas, met en exergue le travail de terrain et la qualité de la narration. Traduction en français (je ne l'ai pas lu).

🚨 Over 160 faculty of University of California Law schools have signed this open letter to the Regents urging them not to agree to any terms of the Trump demand letter that the Regents were compelled to release under court order. sites.google.com/view/uclawfa...
UC Law Faculty to Regents: Resist the Unlawful Demands Dear UC Regents, As faculty members of University of California law schools, we urge you to reject the draft agreement with the Trump administration that you made public on October 24. This draft agreement would strike a grave blow to the autonomy of the University of California and the freedom of its faculty and students to pursue knowledge and exercise their First Amendment rights. It would require UCLA to discriminate against some of its own students in violation of California law; to cease its legal and genuinely important efforts to build a university community open to all Californians including those from disadvantaged backgrounds; and to curtail the rights of students, faculty, and staff to speak freely, teach, and learn. It would require UCLA— or more accurately, the state of California to pay the federal government an enormous sum in disregard of the procedures required by law. Such funds could be better spent on funding research directly and building a foundation for greater financial security for the UC System that includes more protection from illegal federal conduct. In contrast, by acceding to illegal threats, the university would become complicit in the Trump Administration's efforts to undermine the rule of law and the values of liberty, equality, and democracy enshrined in the Constitution. And all this for what? The federal government promises nothing in return. To restore canceled grants that have already been restored by federal court order. To release all spurious claims against UCLA, but with no promise whatsoever that the federal government will not try again to penalize UCLA— for instance by once again unlawfully cancelling federal grants that UCLA researchers have earned on the academic merits-the next time the Trump administration decides to do so. Instead, the draft agreement contains novel and highly intrusive monitoring and surveillance provisions that appear designed to give the federal government new pretexts for continuing oversight a…

Maintenant, si on compare l’Europe aux États Unis ou même au 🇨🇦, les polices tirent et tuent moins souvent (/pop). Et même nettement moins. Même les plus dangereuses polices d’Europe.

PS: les personnes tuées ne sont pour l'essentiel pas les grands criminels ou des terroristes, même si ça arrive.

Trump slashed USAID so that children die for want of $2 mosquito nets or 12-cent-a-day medicines--but he now is backing a $20 billion bailout of Argentina that will also pour money into the pockets of billionaire hedge fund investors. My take: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/o...

Is China really the GOAT of engineering?

From @s1moncox.bsky.social, jumping off Dan Wang's book Breakneck.* Though while China maybe isn't exactly an outlier, its share of engineers does seem *quite* high by international standards.

* Just finished the book, would recommend!

Cette étude de @larevuedesmedias.bsky.social sur l'affaire Legrand-Cohen montre la place effarante que lui ont donnée CNews et Europe 1. Il s'agit bien d'une guerre menée par l'extrême droite médiatique contre l'existence même de l'audiovisuel public.
