"No ha sido el asombro, sino el fervor social surgido de los sórdidos callejones y la tristeza de las vidas marchitas lo que ha provocado la ciencia económica" (Arthur Pigou). Guau.

One of the greatest beauties/difficulties of economics is the problem of being a system and its dynamics: multiple pipes (direct, indirect, and induced effects) and different forces (structural causal models) at the long and short run. It makes me crazy

Never ask a guy using/teaching clustering about the robustness of results to slight changes in the distance metric, the pre-specified number of clusters or the geometrical shape of the clusters

The AI infrastructure build-out is so gigantic that in the past 6 months, it contributed more to the growth of the U.S. economy than /all of consumer spending/

The 'magnificent 7' spent more than $100 billion on data centers and the like in the past three months *alone*

Eso, concluye, “pone de manifiesto que la laboralización no ha entrañado ninguna pérdida de cuota de mercado por parte de Glovo”, si bien reconoce que el periodo analizado, de apenas medio año, tiene una significatividad estadística “reducida”, aunque pueda mostrar una tendencia."

"El juez considera que el cambio de marco laboral aplicado por Glovo desde diciembre de 2024, optando por la supresión paulatina de los falsos autónomos por otro modelo de contratación laboral no ha supuesto un cambio efectivo en las cuotas de mercado de ambas compañías.

La justicia exime a Glovo de pagar casi 300 millones a Just Eat por competencia desleal
El juez carga contra “algún iluminado y omnisciente burócrata que parece gozar de un privilegiado acceso a la Verdad” para validar el modelo ‘riders’ falsos autónomos

Is working from home just a pandemic blip? Not according to the data.

We analysed 1 billion job postings in 20 OECD countries.

The share of jobs advertising remote/hybrid work quadrupled from 2.5% to 11% (2019–2023) and has been stable since

"After all, the NK model is composed of three equations, two of them obviously false as descriptions of reality (...) In short, it provides a common and generally understood structure from which to start and organize research and discussion."

From his recent paper on theoretical convergence in macro: "Is the minimalist model —say, the NK model developed by Jordi Gali in his book on monetary policy (2015)— better than the IS-LM model or its open-economy cousin, the Mundell-Fleming model?"

Recordemos que ACCIONA, junto a otras grandes constructoras de este país, han sido sancionadas por haber creado cárteles que amañaron concursos públicos.

Resultado: colegios, carreteras, hospitales, asfaltados, etc. costaron más a los contribuyentes por el cartel.

It's truly pleasant to read The Economy 2.0 - Microeconomics. Although it is still defining market failures as Pareto-inefficiencies, it's cool it reflects Pareto-efficiency *and fairness* as two important criteria to evaluate allocations
