Very sorry to hear that Ron Jones, the great trade theorist @ Univ of Rochester, has passed away. His 1965 @JPolEcon is a foundational classic, his textbook World Trade and Payments another classic, among so many contributions . . .

I get that penalty shootouts have their own appeal, but has FIFA/UEFA ever considered dropping one or two players per side during overtime, as in ice hockey? Seems it would be equally entertaining/thrilling but substantially fairer... (to be clear, today's outcome seemed fair!).

I am fortunate to continue to have amazing advisees, but many of them have worked on (or are working on) topics closer to our sister field of Spatial Economics. This is a more general trend. Data from Jonathan Dingel’s @TradeDiversion blog is quite telling:

Andreu Mas-Colell had retired well before the events that motivated those early prosecutions. I suspect that, in no small part, he retired because he did not support the radical turn his political party had taken, which now advocated a unilateral declaration of independence (4/8)

To be clear, I strongly favor more stimulus. But it seems to be helping the wrong people (e.g., me). And I am puzzled the market is not anticipating significant tax increases on capital income under a Democratic senate. I’d love to hear other perspectives! #EconTwitter (2/2)

Sad to hear one my mentors, the great Ron Findlay passed away in his sleep. One of the biggest intellectual influences on me. One of the smartest people I have known & a kind person. The silver lining is that he died in his sleep. The best way to die.
