#EconTwitter : Can you tell me how Economics is supposed to be MORE inclusive if top journal & top field journals are asking $150-$300 submission fees, even if paper is desk rejected? Do you know the budget for research outside of the R1 universities?

Only two weeks left to submit your abstract for this years Conference on Economic Complexity (CEC). We already have 90+ registered attendees eager to learn about the latest developments in the field.

The conference is free to attend and will take place on July 11 and 12 at

How should we measure invention similarity? Does the method matter? New from me, Ina Ganguli 🇺🇦 🌻, @vitalymeursault, Nicholas Reynolds. We validate several NLP models and find that inventions are becoming less similar, “spreading out” in idea space. Preliminary work, comments welcome!

This topic is incredibly important and -- in my view -- is currently under-researched relative to its importance. I expect this workshop to be very valuable in catalyzing new collaborations and research projects.

I'm very excited about the launch of the Talent Mobility Fund!

We need to build more societal infrastructure to take advantage of flexible visa pathways like the O-1 and J-1.

Amy Nice from our team is leading this regranting effort — apply if you have ideas that need funding!
