Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.

When every child is stunted, no child Is? How local norms distort perceptions of growth: Guest post by Sneha Nimmagadda

In today's job market post, Sneha Nimmagadda shows in India that mothers misperceive how stunted their kids are, because so many other kids around are also stunted. Correcting this perception changes beliefs and feeding practices, increasing weight for age blogs.worldbank.org/en/impacteva...

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

Likely for the first time in history, in April 2025, the U.S. imported more wine from Canada than it exported (by value), resulting in a US$1.99 million wine trade deficit.

What happened when the U.S. forcibly sent 400,000 Mexican workers back to Mexico in the 1930s?

The employment rate of native workers *went down* noticeably as a direct result. (You read that correctly)

Why?

Forced repatriation destroyed low-skill markets.

Read Pope Leo XIV's first homily as pope During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo XIV said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!

Not Incentivized Yet Efficient: Working From Home in the Public Sector

Abstract
This paper studies whether working from home (WFH) affects workers' performance in public sector jobs. Studying public sector initiatives allows us to establish baseline estimates on the impact of WFH net of incentives. Exploiting novel administrative data and plausibly exogenous variation in work location, we find that WFH increases productivity by 12%. These productivity gains are primarily driven by reduced distractions. They are not explained by differences in quality, shift length, or task allocation. The productivity gains more than double when tasks are assigned by the supervisor.

Keywords: working from home, productivity, public sector

Evidence that administrations that reject WFH harm efficiency.
