    Still using my umbrella from the 2007 NBER Summer Institute. Best conference swag ever.

    Note that I am assuming the humanitarian crises in our immigration policy are also a reflection of Trump’s lack of character, so I am imagining a situation where I would have to vote for a Democrat who might do this sort of thing versus a Republican who would not. /7

    ...of the other side’s winning. (At the same time, we should probably also kill the senate’s ability to advise and consent on judges, since this is no longer screening out unqualified judges but is letting the senate majority stockpile judicial vacancies.) /6

    ...would be so much more manageable if we did not make judges such a large-stakes issue. I am starting to think that a constitutional amendment to term limit judges may be as important as campaign finnace reform to restoring US democracy. We need to ratchet down the stakes.../5

    ...to be willing to support the other party if our own party nominates someone utterly unacceptable, and just rely on checks and balances to hold the line on policy. Preventing a complete foreign policy cluster-f**k is provably woth even losing judges, but this tradeoff.../4

    ...that Presidents can do tremendous short-term damage domestically (I am thinking of humanitarian crises on our border) but that it is very hard to enact anything the next Presidnet cannot reverse EXCEPT FOR JUDGES. If it weren’t for judges, I would conclude that we need.../3

    ...positions were anathema to me. I simply didn’t know what I would have done. Today’s Iran strike makes it clear that we cannot afford a President whose character and personnel policies leave us unable to trust his geopolitical judgment. The last three years have shown.../2

    In 2016, I wondered how I’d have voted if a Trump-like demagogue had taken over the Democrats instead of the Republicans, and I’d had to choose between voting for someone with no character or competence, or for the Republican nominee, say Paul Ryan, with policy and judicial.../1

  14. Here is an amusing example of a false positive: “detecting” neural responses to human interactions in a fish. A dead, frozen fish. Still gives pretty brain map pictures.

    If your Y variable should max out at 5, and non-responses are coded as 99, then it does not take many non-responses at all to throw off all your results!

    If my advisee is upset about getting null findings, my “go to” move is to explain that your job isn’t to create a finding but to do a clean study, and null results are acceptable. But I really need to remember that my FIRST go to move should be asking if they cleaned their data!

  17. I usually divide behavioral econ into “motivational/preference factors” and “cognitive factors,” and then am left with “very large interactions between the two.” I still think this is a useful framework, but the interactions keep complicating it more!

  18. Employer sponsored insurance is not a gift from employers but a part of compensation, and it is squeezing everything else. The difference between this and a gigantic tax is a matter of decentralization.

  19. I am incredibly skeptical that Tennessee’s push to move to a block grant-ish system isn’t a move to cut benefits and eligibility down the line.If this can be done with just a normal waiver, well, that is a staggering game changer.
