The 2026 World Series winners, the Milwaukee Brewers, just entered Lambeau Field with their Commissioner's Cup! 😍
It's not just the Packers and Panthers players doing the Lambeau Leap this evening! 🤩

The Brewers brought the Commissioner's Trophy to Lambeau less than 24 hours after winning the World Series

The best team all season left no doubt. Congrats to the @Brewers and everyone in Milwaukee on your first World Series title!

Final: Brewers 6, Dodgers 4
The Milwaukee Brewers are going to the World Series. Holy crap, the Milwaukee Brewers are going to the World Series. Soak it in, Wisconsin. You deserve it. The Milwaukee Brewers are going to the World Series, and they swept the Dodgers to do it.

Interesting real-world example of job lock. #EconTwitter
How many more times are we going to hear about Jake Bauers "being done with baseball two years ago but went back because his wife was pregnant and needed health insurance"
Like it's cool. But Fox Sports really needs to do some work.

AI is a big W for 40-somethings. Old enough to have learned how to do things the right way, young enough to learn some new tricks.

The open access early view of my Dec. 2026 JRU article, The Value of a Statistical Life Year, is now available at rdcu.be/LFF2NJzVduwa. These new estimates can improve and sometimes correct @benefitcost valuations for situations involving short life extensions.
Got a review request from a medical journal and noticed this interesting note in the email:
“We welcome your collaboration with a junior scholar on the review as long as you maintain oversight of the quality and substance of the review. Please acknowledge any collaborator when submitting your review.”
This may be controversial, but I think more economics journals should explicitly allow and encourage this. The “suggest another reviewer” option gets at something similar, but some people may hesitate to use it and instead accept reviews they clearly do not have time for.
IMO, this option could both improve peer review and provide useful training for junior scholars.
