Chicken and pork were traditionally red-ish meats, as they came from animals who could exercise. Factory farming confined the animals, producing meat that is unnaturally pale. (Left in both images) The pork industry rebranded this factory-farmed pork as "the other white meat."

1. Color comes mostly from myoglobin, which animals only produce if they can move around. The most extreme example is veal. Pasture-raised veal (left) is dark red. Veal from calves in crates or pens (right) is almost white. (Iron-deficient diets also exacerbate this.)

Not all meat is equal in the animal suffering it creates. A surprisingly good predictor of the suffering footprint of meat is its color. The lighter the meat, the worse the intensity and duration of suffering behind it. This is true for three separate reasons...

This is interesting and important. A meaningful share of what looks at first like manufacturing job loss over the last few decades is actually reclassification of businesses into a different, non-manufacturing industry. The business in these cases still operated.

"Notably, about 40% of the manufacturing job loss effect is due to continuing establishments switching their primary activity from manufacturing to trade-related services such as research, management, and wholesale." - @I_Am_NickBloom, @KyleLHandley Kurmann, and Luck

Thomas’ paper tells us how to design the best climate club. One of the best papers on climate change I have scene recently. Anyone interested to hire in macro/environmental should look at his impressive portfolio.

Thomas Bourany @TBourany works at the intersection of Macroeconomics, Environmental Economics, and International Trade. In his JMP, he shows how to design optimal climate agreements to implement carbon policy in the presence of free-riding and inequality. thomasbourany.github.io

Why aren't policymakers in developing countries more concerned about low learning levels? One answer is that they overestimate (y-axis) actual literacy rates (x-axis). From our new @CGDev report:
