The Pirenne Thesis remains undefeated. Johannes Boehm & Chaney provide new evidence that the end of antiquity was not brought about by the fall of the Roman empire but rather by the reduced trade openness between Christianity and Islam. jmboehm.github.io/coins.pdf

The end of colonial rule in India culminated in the birth of two nations & the forced displacement of millions. 77 years on, read about the short & long-term consequences of partitioning India in Prashant Bharadwaj & Saumitra Jha's article: voxdev.org/topic/institut…

Is the fight against tax havens starting to pay off? The BEA stats on US multinationals are out—and in 2022 haven profits dropped There is still a long way to go—more than 40% of foreign profits are still booked in havens!—but the trend break is notable Start of a new era?

Black families whose ancestors were enslaved until the Civil War have considerably lower education, income and wealth today than Black families whose ancestors were free before the Civil War. Evidence in this new QJE paper

Recommended! Another persuasive piece of evidence that the economic winners of the 21st century will be won by those nations that ensure *all* talents are fully integrated into the economies. Fair equality of opportunity is inextricably linked to efficiency. Munseob Lee

“Trapped in the care burden”?? Wow. That is some harsh normative framing. Why do economists insist on assigning a negative normative label to any shift away from market work to parenting?
