There is a simple solution to this problem: redistribute part or all of the carbon tax money. While it will likely not be possible to ensure that there is no loser among the poor (…

It seems strange to call a place of origin a "brand". Is "Ameican" as in (for instance) "American car" a "brand"?

Power laws in economics [0]: Many of the insights of economics seem to be qualitative, with many fewer reliable quantitative laws. However a series of power laws in economics do co…

This also explains why Americans tend to doubt the usefulness of learning cursive writing: it is feels terrible and is quite slow when using ball point pens, but smooth and fast wi…

I actually was part of the CORE team. It's nice to see people actually reading it! In my (biased) opinion, it is a very good introduction to the _economy_, though it is perhaps too…

It seems that you assume that if one producer sells its product for slightly less than its competition, then it will get all the customers, à la Bertrand competition. But if it is …

People interested by the use of Python in economic research should check out QuantEcon [0], a project to develop tools and courses for computational economics [1] in Python and Jul…
