It's been a priviledge to serve in this position (if sometimes exhausting after 935 new submissions ...). The greatest part of the job is seeing how many people in the profession take the role of refereeing so diligently, and constructively, and work hard to build this community.

Today, I am excited to release a paper that has been five years in the making, titled “Endogenous Firm Ownership in General Equilibrium.” I think it is the best thing I have done. www.nber.org/papers/w34187

This put it well for those not lucky enough to have known Ghazala www.eeassoc.org/news/memoria... She made us all better. Truly devastating.

I am heartbroken by the passing of our colleague Ghazala Azmat. A wonderful economist and AEJ: Economic Policy Board member, she was generous with her time and a vital contributor to many areas within applied economics and economic policy. She will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to her family.

Mike Scherer, a leader in industrial organization economics, in the study of innovation, and in many other topics since the 1960s, has died at 92. Strikingly eclectic, he wrote (inter alia) about weapons procurement and the commercialization of classical music. More than anything /1

I love the Economic Journal referees ❤️ Revised version of a paper received on April 15. Sent out to original reviewers on the same day. All four referees have come back to me in less than 10 days. Paper is now conditionally accepted, subject to checks by the EJ Data Editor 🚀 @resmedia.bsky.social

What is the market failure? why do we think the solution is centralized committee and coordinated behaviour? What do we think the friction is that gets in the way of competition?

New AEA-EEA-ES-RES joint report on publication process in economics is extremely useful + thoughtful, a short 🧵. (Link at end, if you haven't seen the report). #econtwitter #econsky Starts with principle: journals may play 3 roles: dissemination, editing and certification.

The vast majority of people I reach out to repsond quickly and helpfully; but the few that don't are frustrating and enough to make me really appreciate that large majority and that the community functions surprisingly well.

If you receive a ref request and can't finish in the allotted time, you have options: - Decline the review. - Ask editor for more time. Then turn in report close to your new proposed deadline. Don't do: - Ghost the request - Agree to request then go months past the due date w/no communication
