Remember the time I somehow ended up speaking at a conference of CFAs in Grand Cayman? They put me up at the Ritz (pretty... ritzy) and called me "The Professor." Now that's my title for @planetmoney.bsky.social's "Summer School: Economic History of the World." Episode One: What is Money?

I wrote a blog: markfabian.blogspot.com/2024/07/what... I am in favour of going 'beyond GDP' but so much of the advocacy is bad. I used to blog a lot but stopped to concentrate on academic papers, and because my blogs tend to be polemical in a career-compromising way. This one is no exception.

And also a new working paper on UK firms’ markups www.productivity.ac.uk/research/con...

Good morning - the sun is shining and #sophiefromromania is happy

I agree - publishers have become interested only in whether authors have £10k for OA, not in the quality of the book. Incentives favour vanity publishing by those with large grants, as the scheme is currently structured.
