Mashup Score: 0Plod has a bunch of questions - Marginal REVOLUTION - 3 year(s) ago
From my request for requests, here goes: – What does the NYT do well? And conversely what are they bad at? – What is your theory on the rising lack of male ambition? – Why do modern fantasy authors (Martin, Rothfuss, others) not finish their works? – If you were chief economist czar of the […]

Mashup Score: 0Telemedicine is Dying - Marginal REVOLUTION - 3 year(s) ago
Bloomberg: Prior to the Covid era, telehealth accounted for less than 1% of outpatient care, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Telehealth services have since surged, at their peak accounting for 40% of outpatient visits for mental health and substance use. Unfortunately, as I warned last year telemedicine is being wound back as regulations which […]

“I know people who have had to travel over the Virginia/Maryland border just to find a wifi spot to have a telemedicine appointment with their MD physician. Ridiculous.” @ATabarrok Why DC docs waste time and money on VA and MD licenses. Pure extortion. https://t.co/Yzg43FlgxC

There have now been lots of resume-audit studies in which identical resumes but for the “minority-distinct” name are sent out to employers and callback rates are measured. A meta-study of 97 field experiments (N = 200,000 job applicants) in 9 countries in Europe and North America finds there is some discrimination in every county but, […]

Mashup Score: 2From the comments, more on health care - Marginal REVOLUTION - 3 year(s) ago
Again this comment is from Sure: The US does not have a healthcare system. It has several. Medicare is single payer option with overwhelmingly private provision and some alternative administrative choices with a thick skim of secondary overlays of private health insurance. The Indian Health Service is full Beveridge. Kaiser is a single private system […]

Mashup Score: 0The Tabarrok Curve in the WSJ - Marginal REVOLUTION - 3 year(s) ago
Matt Ridley covers patents and the Tabarrok Curve in the WSJ: The economist Arthur Laffer is reputed to have drawn his famous curve—showing that beyond a certain point higher taxes generate lower revenue—on a paper napkin at a dinner with Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in the Washington Hotel in 1974. Another economist, Alex Tabarrok […]

That segue is depressing. That they thought to patent. And they were turned down. Reminds me again of the @ATabarrok curve https://t.co/yBe4rwcysM #NephJC Book Club https://t.co/FyxEFEnlPU

Mashup Score: 5Are Health Administrators To Blame? - Marginal REVOLUTION - 3 year(s) ago
The graph at right made the twitter rounds a few days ago (1.3k RTs and 2.7k likes for Noah). The graph looked off to me immediately. Between approximately 1992 and 1994 the number of administrators went up by a factor of 4? (Or, if something goes from a 500% growth since 1970 to a 2000% […]

It doesn’t matter that the graphic itself is apocryphal and has been repeatedly debunked, e.g. here: https://t.co/ZXJS5fW46G Everyone hates admins, and YOU can turn that primal emotion into likes and follows!

Operation Warp Speed produced a new vaccine for a novel virus in record time but when Operation Warp Speed was disbanded by the Biden administration vaccine research and development slowed from warp speed to impulse power. It’s ridiculous that it is taking longer to develop and deploy tweaks to the mRNA vaccines to deal with […]

One of the most common intellectual mistakes! Do note however that it is an efficient mistake for many people to commit, and that is part of why it is so common. “Once-and-for-allism” occurs when people decide that they wish to stop worrying about an issue at the margin. They might either dismiss the issue, or […]

“If you are trying to figure out a thinker and his or her defects, see if you can spot that person’s “once-and-for-all” moves. There will be plenty of them.” Cowen is right, though we can debate wether early closure is a defect or a feature. https://t.co/wTeGXhJnt7

In proper Tetlockian fashion, I thought I would look back and consider how well IR experts did in the time leading up to the current war in Ukraine. In particular, how many of them saw in advance that a war was coming? And I don’t mean a day or two before the war started, though […]

Mashup Score: 0The Demand and Supply of Misinformation - Marginal REVOLUTION - 3 year(s) ago
Bryan Caplan reminds us that misinformation wouldn’t work well if people weren’t so irrational. The [standard misinformation] story focuses exclusively on the flaws of speakers, without acknowledging the flaws of the listeners. Misinformation won’t work unless the listeners are themselves naive, dogmatic, emotional, or otherwise intellectually defective. In economic jargon, the problem is that…
