I wrote about the disgusting hit job on Biden, and got to make the point that Biden's occasional slips are nothing compared with Trump's incoherent ranting www.nytimes.com/live/2024/02...
Opinion | The Disgusting Furor Over Biden’s Age
Many people have trouble remembering dates. And his opponent’s rants are far worse.

Marie & Pinotti (2024): Very important paper, also in light of the policy debates in many countries:

- Immigration does not increase crime rates.
- Obtaining legal status decreases immigrants' involvement in criminal activities.

Immigration and Crime: An International Perspective
(Winter 2024) - The association between immigration and crime has long been a subject of debate, and only recently have we encountered systematic empirical evidence on this issue. Data shows that immigrants, often younger, male, and less educated compared to natives, are disproportionately represented among offenders in numerous host countries. However, existing research, inclusive of our analysis of new international data, consistently indicates that immigration does not significantly impact local crime rates in these countries. Furthermore, recent studies underscore that obtaining legal status diminishes immigrants' involvement in criminal activities. Finally, we discuss potential explanations for the apparent incongruity between immigrants' overrepresentation among offenders and the null effect of immigration on crime rates.

Everyone makes bad predictions. God knows I have. Were predictions that we'd need years of very high unemployment to tame inflation especially blameworthy. I'd say yes, for three reasons. 1/

Hello #EconSky, have I got an exciting new working paper for you!

Coen Teulings and I study three distributions (wealth, city and firm size), which are always thought to be distributed Pareto.
Bottom line: These distributions are *not* Pareto, but Weibull! A thread 1/
