    Finally, our paper on the pervasiveness of corporate fraud is in print. It has a simple, but important, result: On average 10% of large publicly traded firms commit a relevant fraud every year, costing equityholders $830 billion a year. rdcu.be/c2RhV

    The “Magnificent Mile” in Chicago today. It looks like Chile in November. All fancy stores boarded up. Are they afraid of #Covid19 or of something else? @DMatamala

    It is a crucial question. I suspect it has a lot to do with the difficulty of adapting the Italian informal (or semi-formal) economy to information technology faculty.chicagobooth.edu/-/media/facult…

    Replying to @zingales
    What is scary is the difference in the fatality rate between Lombardy (around Milan) and the rest of Italy (see picture). Data collection procedure should be the same. I fear difference is due to Lombardy hospitals (considered the best in Italy) running out of available ICU units

    Congratulations to Claudia Goldin for her well-deserved prize. Two years ago we interviewed her at Capitalisn't. If you want to get a quick sense of the breath and the importance of her contribution, (re)listen to it

    It is not only that. Italians still have tight extended families. Older parents interact with children and grand children, they are not off in a retirement home in Florida.

    Why has Italy proven so much more susceptible to corona epidemic? Fascinating hypothesis of @kuhnmo that problem is number of middle-aged people stuck living at home with parents due to economic stagnation -> more intergenerational transmission which is disastrous with #COVID-19

    این ویدیوها از اعتراض‌های ۱۷ مهر ۱۴۰۱ در دانشگاه الزهرا منتشر شده است که دانشجویان این دانشگاه شعارهایی علیه بسیجیان می‌دهند و با گردهمایی آهنگ بلاچاو را همخوانی می‌کنند. روز گذشته هم همزمان با حضور ابراهیم رئیسی در این دانشگاه، دانشجویان شعارهای تندی علیه او سر دادند.
