“How economists could make themselves more useful” by @SoumayaKeynes via @FinancialTimes ft.com/content/0f4586…
Fun interview with Tom Gosling about our paper - what happens to firms when a CEO dies in office? These situations allow us to assess the contribution of the CEO relative to that of their successor. We find lots of heterogeneity - some CEOs add value, others subtract it.

Four hours, four sentences. 🤦♂️ At least my productivity is linear.
Sometimes, in business and in conflict, one side will deliberately leak fake secrets to misdirect the other side. These images show one side constructing a fake wooden airfield with wooden aircraft and wooden hangers. However the other side recognized the misdirection and…

Last year’s collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is fueling a rethink of the discount window, which dates to the 1913 founding of the Fed & is its primary channel for lending directly to banks. Banks are desperate to avoid using it for fear of looking weak. wsj.com/finance/regula…
