    Driving some UK teenagers (inc. my son) to karate. They discussed pros and cons of learning various European languages at school. This one is easier to pronounce / I like the teacher / Latin America seems important etc. None suggested he might ever move to the continent.

    Interesting article. Among the extreme poor, willingness to pay for grid power is higher than willingness to pay for basic electricity (solar lamps)--but the difference is much smaller than the difference in the cost of supplying those things. Changes as people grow less poor.

    New paper by M Sievert & J Steinbuks on “WTP for electricity access in extreme poverty”, now in Data from Senegal, Rwanda, Burkina Faso & model that structures our thinking about energy choices in extreme poverty 1/.

    An astonishingly bad article by the author of an excellent book. A good case can be made for Brexit--this is not it.

    (ii) National policies do affect fertility rates. France stands out, especially. Of course, this doesn't prove that pronatalist policies "work"--because France also has distinct fiscal and immigration policies etc., and those affect fertility rates. Still.

    A pretty but inaccurate map is making the rounds on Twitter, showing regional EU fertility rates. Here's the real one. It shows two things: (i) There are areas with above-replacement fertility--mostly suburbs

    “It is very likely that the way alcohol-related mortality is spread across the four neighboring countries has historical roots”, says Pavel Grigoriev. Find more info on his recently published paper on mortality patterns in Eastern Europe here:

    This is the Trump plan's "conceptual map" of Israel and Palestine. The occupied West Bank becomes isolated cantons, connected by a handful of roads; the Palestinians cede large chunks of territory, in return for a couple of random plots in the Negev awkwardly linked to Gaza.

    One immediate effect of Britain leaving the EU, of interest to wonks, will be that statistics will change. No more EU28 figures--beginning 1 February, only EU27.

    London is one of the cities tediously often cited by right-thinking urbanists as a model (others include Copenhagen, Portland). It has managed to badly mess up a big new development near the centre.

    I went down to that new development at Nine Elms to see what it was like close-up, how the towers interacted with the street... and the answer is, they don’t. it’s really really bad

    A side-effect of growing civility and responsibility. A Thai police chief told me in December that he had cracked down on drink-driving in Bangkok, but politicians complained that the night-time economy was suffering.

    Nice piece by It's not that American baby boomers are increasingly drawn to dense cities. It's just that there are an awful lot of baby boomers.

    No doubt this is very enlightened. It's also strangely reminiscent of Chinese urban planning in the Great Leap Forward era.
