When artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT were first introduced for public use in 2022, Gillian Hayes, vice provost for academic personnel at the University of California, Irvine, remembers how people were setting up rules around AI without a good understanding of what it truly was or how it would be used.

Your neighbor is eating you, bit by bit. He’s strong and you’re weak, so if you protest too much against his occasional nibbling, he might just swallow you whole instead.

No generation is a monolith. That should go without saying. But over the past year, there’s been a growing narrative in business and media circles that Gen Z, a cohort born between 1997 and 2012, is starting to split in two. One half is described as entrepreneurial, image-conscious and highly motivated. The other is labeled cautious, emotionally overwhelmed or disengaged from traditional career ambition.

From a 2023 paper by Vojislav Maksimovic and Liu Yang: Using plant-level data from the Census Bureau, we show that in addition to paying higher wages and benefits, unionized plants have lower and less effective incentives. Unionized plants do not exhibit the same positive associations between incentives and investment and growth found in non-unionized plants.

Why do managers matter for firm performance? This paper provides evidence of the critical role of managers in matching workers to jobs within the firm using the universe of personnel records from a large multinational firm. The data covers 200,000 white-collar workers and 30,000 managers over 10 years in 100 countries. I identify good managers as the top 30% by their speed of promotion and leverage exogenous variation induced by the rotation of managers across teams.

Walmart & Amazon are looking into issuing their own stablecoins—cutting out banks, cards, and slow settlement. If laws like the Genius Act clear, we might be on the cusp of merchant-issued money.

Since October 2023, we have witnessed the first livestreamed genocide. Scrolling through my social media feeds, I encounter the sounds of carnage—wailing mothers caressing lifeless children’s faces; the frenzied scuffle of blistered hands clawing at tons of rubble; a rasping plea that Rashid , Mustafa , Jana , and Asmaa can be reached in time—buttressed between US news segments guessing at who will be the next president, videos of well-tended cats lazing about sun-soaked sofas, and influence

Or sooner, that is the topic of my latest essay for The Free Press. Excerpt: The most radical redefinition of the nation-state may be coming from Haiti, where preexisting forms of government appear to have collapsed altogether. Haiti has been a troubled place for a long time, but when I used to visit in the 1990s you could come and go intact—at least if you exercised commonsense precautions.
