@JamesYKwak ತಡೆಹಿಡಿಯಲಾಗಿದೆ

ನೀವು ಖಚಿತವಾಗಿಯೂ ಈ ಟ್ವೀಟ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಲು ಬಯಸುವಿರಾ? ಟ್ವೀಟ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡುವುದು @JamesYKwak ಅವರನ್ನು ತಡೆತೆರವುಗೊಳಿಸುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.

  1. It's just inequality. The number of inherited billionaires is also going up, just not as fast.

  2. Yes, but the number that matters is total health care spending, not the amount funneled through the government.

  3. Because he is really, really terrific.

  4. Judge attempts to block compensation for exonerees by making up facts that even prosecutors have abandoned.

  5. "defending the indefensible is costly and misguided"

  6. Media dissemination vehicle for company earnings announcements too. Why? Fear of being cut off by source?

  7. it is not just politics. the media acts like a press release dissemination vehicle, with no factchecking.

  8. If the press doesn't verify substantive facts, then there's no reason for a politician to be constrained by reality.

  9. I oppose the death penalty on moral and fairness grounds, but it will finally end because it's a huge waste of money

  10. This is revealing, not least for pointing up how much that passed as "empirical belief" wasn't empirical

  11. I would hope, perhaps naively, that most economists' beliefs respond to facts to *some* degree...

  12. And Hatch, amazingly, passes for a moderate Republican these days.

  13. Another interesting salvo in the debate over politicization of economics: But I want to see the full data & methods!

  14. Feel like I do this all the time. Most recently about private schools (in Norway). I'll admit causation prob right in that paper

  15. To the skeptics (and causality police) out there: How many times have you changed a policy opinion because of an empirical paper you read?

  16. In the end, it's class that matters (and DOJ investigations).

  17. Note to "anyone": VC funds have done poorly over the past 15 years.

  18. I'll tell you that for me, empirics inform morals. I was conservative until I saw most viewpoints were unsupported

  19. And here's a shout-out to Russ Roberts of EconTalk for getting this "truth" to the OpEd pgs of WSJ.

  20. "A survey of 131 economists found that their answers to moral questions predicted their answers to empirical ones."

  21. Echoes my thoughts: a little learning in economics is a very dangerous thing

  22. When people make money off incarceration and probation, you get more incarceration and probation.

  23. The problem isn't that comparative advantage doesn't explain the TPP; the problem is people who claim that it does.

  24. Straw man. The problem isn't Econ 101, it's the unthinking application of Econ 101 models.

  25. To oppose a union of its grad students, Columbia dips deep into the well of socialist theory

  26. big new report from finds that money bail is viciously unjust to poor people

  27. "The moral force of 'freedom of expression' is weakened when it's one more cliche in the Silicon Valley PR machine"

  28. 2 many ppl end up behind bars not b/c dangerous or flight risk bt b/c 2 poor 2 pay $

  29. I dislike payday loans too, but do we want private media companies deciding what services are available to people?

  30. Good article, but I think the main impediment wasn't ideology as much as insurance cos as an interest group

ಲೋಡಿಂಗ್ ಸಮಯ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವಂತೆನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.

Twitter ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಅಧಿಕವಾಗಿರಬಹುದು ಅಥವಾ ಈ ಕ್ಷಣದ ತೊಂದರೆಯನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುತ್ತಿರಬಹುದು. ಮತ್ತೆ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸಿ ಅಥವಾ ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಮಾಹಿತಿಗೆ Twitter ಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಗೆ ಭೇಟಿ ನೀಡಿ.

    ಇದನ್ನೂ ಸಹ ನೀವು ಇಷ್ಟಪಡಬಹುದು
