More crazy Hahn stories

Dasgupta defended his Cambridge thesis the day before his wedding, Hahn was external examiner

Hahn said he got a proof wrong

Dasgupta found *Hahn's* proof was wrong, rushed to his home hours before his wedding to settle the matter

Hahn: "you must learn that Uncle is never wrong"

Dasgupta: I didn't wish to dispute this, I was going to be late for my wedding

Cambridge, mid-1960s

"the thought that research in econ could be pleasurable, and that it could be the sole reason for you doing it would have filled Cambridge economists with horror. If one desired intellectual enjoyment, one should math, econ was only for the morally upright"

Footnote reads"there was one exception to this: Frank Hahn")

Who create new paradigms in economics? Not just famed theorists & modelers

But also lesser-known economists who write computational algorithms & design software

F. Sergi, A.Saidi & I wrote a history of how DSGEs became dominant.

It's the history of Dynare

[HELP NEEDED] Is there any research on the consequences of *FRIENDSHIP* in the history of science?

(or what famous exemples, such as, in history of econ, Malthus and Ricardo, or Friedman and Stigler can you think of?)

Cynicism 101 from Owen-Braeutigam's 1978 "Regulation Games"

"A regulated firm...should be prepared to coopt [academics] experts...requires a modicum of finesse... must not be too blatant, for the experts themselves must not recognize that they have lost their objectivity"

from Ben Franta's paper on how some economists (in particular associated with Charles River Associates) have participated in delaying climate action

After a month of intensive lecturing on the history of environmental economics, I've concluded that history of economics as a field is a bit like the price of carbon:

everyone loosely agree that its value should be $300 the ton, but the market price has been stuck at $8 for 20 years

"I spend a lot of time chasing the history of economic "fields." Maybe I shouldn't"

(I opened a substack a month ago. I didn't really know what to do with it, so I just decided that it's to vent my intellectual frustration)

I don't know who exactly bears responsibility for the Index of Smith's Wealth (this is Cannan's edition but maybe there was some before), but it's the answer to all questions

"France: vineyards need not be envied by Britain"

"East India Company, [oppresses and domineers, 73;]

[Literature; was more profitable in Ancient Greece, 132-3]

[Lodgings, cheaper in London, than in any other capital city in Europe, 117]
