Interesting Russ Roberts pod w Noah Smith. Russ criticized competitive model & seemed to be searching for...models of decentralized trade! Thankfully there is a huge lit based on search models doing almost exactly what he described. May I humbly suggest: tinyurl.com/ax8ks298

We splurged and bought a new Thermador refrigerator. Just over a year later and the ice machine breaks. You’d think they might stand by their product and replace it, since it’s barely outside of the warranty window? Nope. No wiggle room. Super disappointing.

The CMSG is one of the most special conferences in the profession. Little budget. Everyone pays their way. Even discussants. And yet…always amazingly high quality and fun. So sorry to miss it this year, but happy my paper made it on the program. Wish I could be there.
