Want to make America less innovative? Keep the foreigners out. Immigrants are just 16% of U.S. inventors but they account for 32% of U.S. innovation and they make native-born Americans more productive. Restricting high-skilled immigration is a terrible own goal. https://t.co/Ee 13.3K views · 132 likes · 41 reposts · 6 replies 04 Sep 2026 Horrible.

Early in an academic career, the payoff of a groundbreaking result is massive, but the downside risk is small. If you get caught, you just quietly pivot out of academia. https://t.co/ 57.9K views · 400 likes · 42 reposts · 12 replies 03 Sep 2026 Forthcoming in the AER: "The Contribution of High-Skilled Immigrants to Innovation in the United States" by Shai Bernstein, Rebecca Diamond, Abhisit Jiranaphawiboon, Timothy McQuade, and Beatriz Pousada. https://t.co/pFKrCZuuXP 51.6K views · 145 likes · 38 reposts · 1 replies 03 Sep 2026 A big win for the economic experts paid by Google who argued that total dominance in the ad technology business was nothing to worry about https://t.co/uTroITlChg 14.2K views · 20 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies 02 Sep 2026 @florianederer correct me if i'm wrong but i thought the other times he got away bc he blamed it on Gino?

I bet there's a whole lot out there to catch. 1.7K views · 39 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 01 Sep 2026 I remain baffled by how Ariely can remain employed at Duke when Wansink (Cornell), Gino (HBS), Arday (Cambridge), Tessier-Lavigne (Stanford), and many others were fired or resigned. 93.9K views · 701 likes · 65 reposts · 32 replies 01 Sep 2026 There was a lot of commentary about how academic frauds get differential treatment.

EJMR is more likely to be labeled as toxic, misogynistic, and hate speech than 69%, 73%, and 95% of the 1,000 most popular subforums of Reddit. https://t.co/wz2woH7DNn 10.9K views · 27 likes · 5 reposts · 1 replies 25 Oct 2023 Finally, EJMR posts mentioning women are substantially more likely to contain hate speech, misogyny, and toxicity. These mentions of women also attract even more misogyny and hate speech on EJMR than on Reddit. https://t.co/zQZxJRo9jg 34.4K views · 47 likes · 6 reposts · 2 replies 25 Oct 2023 Posting on EJMR appears to be pervasive throughout the economics profession. Over 10% of posts originate from university networks including, but not limited to, all top-ranked US universities. https://t.co/fBzGCz3aaf 20.4K views · 19 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies 25 Oct 2023 Problematic content on EJMR is widespread among both residential and university IP addresses, and not concentrated among just a small set of contributors. Roughly 10% of posts contain text labeled as toxic, 2.5% as misogynistic, and 2.5% as hate speech. https://t.co/06GrZ6Vckq 7.8K views · 18 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 25 Oct 2023 EJMR posts mostly come from large cities in the US (Chicago, New York, Philadelphia) and some outside the US (Hong Kong, London, Montreal, Toronto). Smaller US cities with leading research institutions (e.g., Cambridge and Berkeley) are also towards the top of the list. https:// 7.7K views · 26 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 25 Oct 2023 Using newly developed GPU-based software and the uniformity property of the SHA-1 hash we recover 47,630 distinct IP addresses of EJMR posters.
