Economics 101: When there are significant externalities, as with public health, private incentives alone don't lead to socially optimal choices or outcomes. That's one reason we typically have public health policies set by governments. #EconTwitter#

Excited to share our new review on the economics of social media. Synthesizing the literature was an interesting challenge, and hopefully provides some useful insights. Mostly I enjoyed working with @PriceTheorist, Lena Song, and Guy Aridor! Link: https://t.co/POd5es0xVm

The literature on social media has *exploded* recently. Only in economics, the % of papers in general-interest journals that study social media increased 4-fold in 2015-2022. In this new paper, we synthesize the empirical literature on the economics of social media. (1/2) https://t.co/nABhLnCI8B

I voted for the presidential candidate who seemed to know much more about trade and economics than I do. I didn't suddenly become smarter than him. He's doing exactly what he said he would do. I’m holding the line.

Very proud of Amna and all our candidates this year from @uoregon economics, who are doing great work during tough times. We've got a big, diverse, and resilient group of highly-talented economists this year. Message me (the placement director) if you've got questions!

ELON: THE MORE PEOPLE PRODUCE USEFUL THINGS, THE BETTER OFF THE COUNTRY WILL BE “As government spending is made more efficient and spending is reduced, the tax via inflation is reduced. One way or another, you will effectively be better off if resources in the United States are not wasted. People will do more useful jobs than before, the total output of goods and services will increase, and then the average standard of living will increase. The most important lesson in economics is simply common sense: the more people in a country that are engaged in producing useful products and services, the better off that country will be. Generally, I think you want to minimize the number of people in government. You want to keep that to a minimum and move people from low to negative-productivity roles to high-productivity roles in the private sector.” Source: Town Hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, March 30, 2025
