If you have doubts whether macro should be part of the first year training of an economist is because you are teaching it the wrong way. You have to teach it like: “these are the essential tools that you need to start thinking about the big questions in economics.”

It was a great honor to give this lecture named after JJ Laffont, one of the greatest economists of our times who left us much too early. 🙏for inviting me and for the stimulating Q&A afterwards. I'll post a thread on the topic soon (still work in progress, joint w/ @GregWKaplan )

Great historical account of how ---this is how Deaton puts it in his 2015 Nobel lecture--- macroeconomists' view about distribution shifted from "nuisance to hallmark of seriousness."

The government, via taxes and transfers remains a major source of inequality compression, reducing trend growth in inequality, and drastically dampening its cyclical fluctuations. For example, compare the P10 in panels (B) and (C).

I had the privilege to advise two brilliant students on the market from @PrincetonEcon this year, Hugo Lhuillier and Lukas Mann. They both work at the intersection of macro, labor and spatial economics. Short 🧵on both, in alphabetic order.

Yes! It reminded me of a quote by Duke Ellington, when he was asked about his thoughts on other music genres. "There are only two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind." Applies to Economics too.

I absolutely love this by Bob Lucas on schools of thought in economics: "When you are in the middle of doing research it's a paper-by-paper, problem-by-problem kind of thing. You don't say 'I am a school and here is what my school is going to do'."

I am short of words to express my sadness. I got to know Philippe during my two long visits at Sciences Po. He had a beautiful mind and a kind soul. It’s devastating that he left us so prematurely. My deepest condolences to his loved ones.

Sciences Po a la grande douleur de faire part du décès de Philippe Martin. Économiste brillant et reconnu, doyen de l' @EAPScPo depuis février 2022, il fut une figure éminente de notre institution, dont il était diplômé et à laquelle il consacra une partie de sa carrière.
