Jamie Waddell and Danny Walker Would expanding mortgage supply lead to increased home ownership? Given that 90% of young home owners have a mortgage, it’s tempting to assume the answer is yes. But our analysis suggests that assumption is not necessarily true. We show that increases in mortgage supply have historically had no discernible effect … Continue reading More mortgage lending might push home ownership further out of reach →

So a few days ago I posted about newts, and I mentioned that there was an American newt that was ridiculously toxic. But then (I said) there wasn’t space or time to go into why.  And of course I was immediately bombarded by many* comments and e-mails asking why.  *three Well, fine.  The world’s most toxic […]

Behavioral economics is still ‘in a relationship’ with orthodox economics and, in a relationship, one makes compromises … We all know how stubborn the other side in this relationship is: standard economics will always ‘rationalize’ behavior wherever it can and will only recognize ‘irrationality’ when there is clear and convincing evidence of it. Understandably, behavioral […]

Travel is about meeting new people. My semester abroad taught me that if you travel halfway around the world, you can make friends with all sorts of people who go to the same college as you.

Studying abroad showed me that Europeans have a real work-life balance. In a typical day in Europe, you wake up, eat lunch, go to a museum, and then hit the town. Nobody is stressed about their job. That’s the benefit of a strong welfare state. Everyone is young and has lots of free time.

Europeans always wear high-quality shoes. On an average day of guided tours, museum visits, and pub crawls, a European can walk over ten miles (sorry, kilometers!). All that walking keeps Europeans thinner than us Americans.

Europe has better restaurants than the United States. Nobody cooks at home in Europe, because there are so many fun restaurants. Dining out is more affordable in Europe because everyone uses their dad’s credit card.

The federal watchdog tasked with overseeing credit unions has no authority to regulate how they’re using artificial intelligence.
