[Checking the credibility of Hsieh-Moretti the lazy way. Third in a series of guest-blogging posts.] In 2019, Chang-Tai Hsieh and Enrico Moretti published "Housing Constraints and Spatial Misallocation" in the American Economic Journal. It's probably academia's most famous Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) article. H-M imagined a scenario where New York City and the Bay Area never imposed draconian housing regulation. Then they estimated how much bigger the U.S. economy would have… [read post]

I call this the "fallacy of mood affiliation," and it is one of the most underreported fallacies in human reasoning. (In the context of economic growth debates, the underlying mood is often "optimism" or… [read post]

[Specificity, fertility, and political assimilation. Fourth in a series of guest-blogging posts.] As an author, I am deeply grateful for criticism. Your critics correct you. Your critics help you improve. And as Oscar Wilde taught us in The Picture of Dorian Gray, "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

One of the main reasons I've never bothered to investigate Holocaust denial is that the Holocaust deniers I've encountered think that genocide is hilarious. via econlog.econlib.org … [read post]
