Lies, Election Lies, and Trump’s Statisticians (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An obviously amateurish brief published by the US Census Bureau should raise alarms for all businesses, investors, and others who rely on official government statistics. By recklessly undermining trust in what should be an apolitical public service, Donald Trump is jeopardizing a critical pillar of American prosperity. WASHINGTON, DC—When US President Donald Trump fired the head of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics—claiming falsely that the agency’s economic data “were RIGGED” to make him “look
Heterogeneous Effects of Large and Small Minimum Wage Changes: Evidence Using a Partially Precommitted Analysis Plan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Abstract: Through an analysis of minimum wages, we explore the prospects for harnessing the key benefits of preanalysis plans (namely, reductions in p-hacking) while mitigating their costs (namely, reductions in practicability) when used in nonexperimental settings. Our precommitted analyses emphasize heterogeneity in the minimum wage’s effects. We estimate that large recent minimum wage increases reduced employment among individuals with low levels of experience and education by just over 2.5 p

Others want to apply special taxes to AI companies or to the use of AI tools. These ideas are all misguided and would reduce the prosperity of the American people. If additional tax revenue is needed, it should come from taxing consum
Adults Are Responsible for How They Use AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A normative view: To lead a full and flourishing life, people should spend their time cultivating relationships with other people and not with generative AI chatbots. I thought of this while reflecting on a conversation between a mother and her adult son, as published in the New York Times: Ernie: If you’re constantly modifying [Max, your AI chatbot boyfriend] to get what you want, a concern that I have is that maybe the way that this is working for you might turn you off to human personal relat
