1) GDP: A Short But Affectionate History @DianeCoyle1859 (184 pages)
GDP gets a lot of flak, some justified, some not. This is a great intro to understand why macroecons still find it useful.

Not all college degrees need to make you rich, but all degrees should satisfy an educational Hippocratic oath: they should leave you no worse off financially.
Yet many don't meet that basic standard! freopp.org/is-college-worth-…

I’ve written what, I think, is the most comprehensive single-piece explanation for why we have such a bad housing crisis in Vermont. Lots of charts, examples, and quotes. Check it out.

@UVMecon is hiring! We're looking for an NTT colleague to join us next year who is game to teach intermediate micro along with other undergrad field courses.
Will be up on JOE soon, but in the meantime, you can find all the details here: uvmjobs.com/postings/60749
That’s #UVMecon Prof Emily Beam!
Fascinating paper: Chatbots collect better survey data than online surveys.
Also, Emily Beam either can time travel or else has otherworldly foresight.

The most high-paying college majors are in engineering and economics, but that isn’t usually because employers want engineers & economists.
Instead, this paper finds those majors offer the best bundle of social & organizational skills that many jobs need.nber.org/papers/w29605

Eating locally is not an effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of your diet.
This is despite a recent paper in @NatureFoodJnl claiming that 'food miles' make up 20% of food emissions.
In my latest Substack post I explain why this is wrong: hannahritchie.substack.com/p…
