suppose you ask a language model the probability it will rain tomorrow. then you ask the probability it will not rain tomorrow
whatever happens tomorrow, those two probabilities should sum to one
but suppose the model generates P(rain) = 0.7 and P(no rain) = 0.2

Artificial Intelligence may become the first technology that accelerates its own capability growth—without additional human labor or capital, which haven been key for making AI better.
When AI improves itself, what will happen to economic growth?
Very happy to share the first paper from @ElasticityInst: The Economics of Recursive Self-Improvement. Two parts:
(1) a graphical representation of feedback loops, to formalize a variety of RSI-related arguments, where each arrow represents responsiveness (elasticity);
(2) a survey of existing evidence with a loose calibration & a “wish list” of evidence that would help us calibrate better.

The WWII GI Bill is among the largest education subsidies in US history, doubling white men's college completion. Though race-blind on paper, it steered Black men away from the knowledge economy it helped build. Today, racial gaps are wider as a result.

🔥 Real-time update: AI's labor market effects.
1⃣ Work is increasingly getting simplified.
2⃣ Occupations predicted to gain from AI continue to rise in importance as of January 2026.
3⃣ We've made our data publicly available.

Has artificial intelligence already begun to transform the labor market?
We find early shifts consistent with our model: jobs & college majors predicted to benefit are already growing.
🚨 New paper with @ReichardtHugo: "Task-Specific Technical Change and Comparative Advantage"

🚨 New working paper with @AlthoffLukas!
How will Artificial Intelligence affect the labor market?
We predict that AI will substantially decrease wage inequality ⬇️ while raising wages on average by 21% ⬆️.
These predictions are based on a general equilibrium task-based labor market model that we build, estimate, and apply to the case of AI.
"Simplification" (tasks getting easier) is the key mechanism behind AI's equalizing effect.

How did the US become a land of opportunity? In a new paper, we show that the country's pioneering role in mass education was key to its rise in intergenerational mobility from 1850 to 1950.

1/🧵 The Fed has raised rates to historic levels, yet the economy keeps surprising on the upside. Today's strong jobs report is the latest example. Why? Our new paper suggests we're looking at the wrong indicator.

🚨 I am excited to share my JMP!
"Scale-Biased Technical Change and Inequality"
I propose a new theory on why some technologies increase inequality, while others reduce it. I provide causal evidence from the adoption of steam engines and electric motors to support the theory.
