Carnegie has an RFP open on migration and mobility. Targeting projects in the $1M-$3M range.

- has a list of pieces they’d like to commission.
I very much hope someone writes the piece about “Why does Asia have higher density cities than Africa?”
Brexit: still a bad idea. Bloom and coauthors have a new paper that estimates it reduced GDP 6-8%.
If we assume full passthrough to incomes, this means Brexit was an approximately £2000/year hit to UK incomes.
- reviews Labour’s New Town plans. tldr: not bad work.
Married American women now spend 16 hours a week less on housework than they did in 1965. Dishwashers are part of the reason why.
- wrote about why you should let an immigrant live in your home (and hire an au pair).
- has a great post about SROs - and the role they used to play in the housing market.

- wrote on how to incentivize spinouts from academia.
Witold Więcek and Janeen Madan Keller have a new paper on optimizing vaccine doses. Self-recommending.
10% of Meta’s revenue comes from scams.
