Unbelievable. Turns out @MacmillanUSA has been selling Mankiw’s Macroeconomics e-textbook with missing chapters, has known about the problem since the fall, and has done nothing the correct the issue. Basically just ripping off students. Appalling.

This shit needs to stop. These kids are getting terrible advice applying to 100+ colleges. They are wasting their own time and money, wasting scarce admissions resources, and taking admittance slots and scholarship money away from other applicants. https://t.co/h4fC2CIb1r

The mayor of Vancouver is insane. He expects a surge of hotel construction due to 7 soccer games. And an economic impact or advertising effect "equivalent to 30 to 40 Super Bowls." https://t.co/RIUyy3om4g

I point out terrible economic impact analyses done by cheerleaders rather than real economists all of the time, so it is only fair that I acknowledge a nicely done report done to generate understanding rather than propaganda for the X-Games. https://t.co/rFlMN5b7In via @vcstar

Experts are not divided on this topic. The “expert” paid by the Coyotes to come up with a big number came up with a big number. Everyone else thinks the losses are pretty small.

How much could a Coyotes' departure cost Arizona? Experts are divided https://t.co/wGpSA0jzaR

Nevada is NOT paying for the A's new stadium. They are just allowing the A's to not pay the taxes every other company has to pay and then having the team to use those tax savings to pay for the stadium. Glad we got that cleared up.

Nevada is NOT paying for the A's new Stadium... https://t.co/CcoZsjrcuY

RT @jc_bradbury: This is an excellent primer on the economics of stadium subsidies. Includes interviews with @VictorMatheson_ and me.

Check out my article at The Conversation about the failed stadium vote in KC last Tuesday. Lots of handwringing over the past several days, but good for taxpayers in the end. https://t.co/fv8sM1wAS3 via @ConversationUS

KC, MO average household income = $65,256 KC, MO poverty rate = 14.9% Oakland average household income = $94,388 Oakland poverty rate = 13.2% Yup, having teams vs. not having team has sure decimated Oakland.

cali dat dude @calilakers1970

@BrianMcGannon KC mayor and Frank White need to visit Oakland CA to see local government decisions on losing 3 sports teams does to your city...results aren't very pretty.

Well, it looks like all of us can now be completely replaced. My Provost will be pleased with the cost savings.

Okay @jc_bradbury @humphreys_brad @VictorMatheson_ I've just generated a new hit song using AI about subsidies for sport stadiums. https://t.co/uDGHRkmxxZ

Apparently Channel 2 News in Reno interviews only the best-looking sports economists. @humphreys_brad https://t.co/f50jmx2Iwl via @KTVN

I get to do several of my favorite things in this article: talk about women's soccer, hear from my great colleague @NolaAgha, and drag on England's men's national team. It's a win, win, win! https://t.co/qROKZm7G4P

Even economists like me who should know better buy into the lottery associations' framing of advertised jackpots. Just remember, this week's $1.23B jackpot is no such thing. https://t.co/gnqDyK8fix

The big lotto games are dealing with serious "jackpot fatigue." This week's $1B Powerball jackpot attracting half the number of buyers as a similar jackpot back in October 2022. https://t.co/BLF9M9a304 via @nypmetro
