Excited that our (@Apoorva__Lal, @xuyiqing, @zu_gary) paper won the Political Analysis' 2024 Editor's Choice award! It was really a lot of work (we started this in 2018!), so nice to see we've had some impact on the field. It's also open access. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Highlights the big disconnect between the discourse on here and the real world: most people don’t want dense, walkable neighborhoods. They want stand-alone houses with giant yards to let their kids run around in.

Are there increasing returns to human capital in the economy? Daron Acemoglu argues that the assumptions needed are minimal. You don’t need spillovers, you don’t need increasing returns to scale — all you need is costly job search. 1/
What would happen politically to a government that tries to ignore the International Court of Justice’s “climate ruling”?
