Priorities for the Biden-Harris Administration:
1. Control the pandemic
2. Build back (better) the economy
3. Confront climate change
4. Dismantle systemic racism
I could not think of a better set of priorities. I can't wait to get to work!

Let me be very clear: this is going to be bloody hard to do. But it can be done. The sooner we start, the lower the cost.
And just imagine the costs of inaction, of horrible storms like in Limone, or another monthly Gota Fría. Those costs are huge

Wow.
Now other universities and professional associations need to engage.

Thousands of congrats to @rudnick_ivan for being awarded with the Best Thesis in the MIT Technology and Policy Program @TppMit
It has been a great honor to have the fortune to supervise such an amazing work with my colleagues Audun Botterud and Pablo Dueñas

Useful data for putting Corona in context in EU euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/
"the most important distinction is separating the elderly from the young (Y) and middle (M) aged. According to our parameters, targeting Y and M separately has marginal gains only. Semi-targeting is almost as good as full targeting"
But the policy is the contrary, confining Y 😟
Just finished this research with Daron Acemoglu, Victor Chernozhukov & Mike Whinston (I know, lucky for such an awesome eclectic team!)
I'm exhausted from many late-night meetings, after kids in bed, so happy to see it out.
