Law enforcement officials said in a Sept. 29 press conference they are investigating the attack as “an act of targeted violence,”…
At least once on this blog, I promised my readers that I would explain what a value added tax is and why it is not a trade barrier. However, I realized that it is not obvious how to explain all that in a blog post, and I decided to do an article for Regulation instead. The article ended up close to 6,000 words and features a detailed numerical illustration. It just came out in the Fall issue of the magazine: “A VAT Is Not a Disguised Trade Barrier.” It is not gated and is also available in pdf format. A…

Seth Curry and the Golden State Warriors have agreed to a one-year deal. Curry had been long expected to sign with the Warriors once the team found a resolution with Jonathan Kuminga.

The younger brother of Warriors superstar Stephen Curry returns to the franchise where he began his career as an undrafted free agent in 2013 who was waived before the start of the 2013-14 season.
Hurricane season is long, why? The peak of the Atlantic basin hurricane season is nearing its end with the U.S. escaping major impacts from tropical cyclones. Through the end of September, nine named storms have formed across the basin, four of which strengthened into hurricanes, with three of those becoming major hurricanes with sustained winds topping 115 mph.The totals sit just shy of the long-term seasonal averages, which during a typical season for the date would be around 10 named storms, five hurricanes and two major hurricanes.The most powerful storm of the 2025 Atlantic season so far was Hurricane Erin,…
When Maleshoane Rakojoana was furloughed from her job at a Lesotho clothing factory nearly three months ago, it turned her whole family’s life upside down. No longer able to afford the rent, they had to leave the capital, Maseru, and move in with relatives, miles away from where her children go to school. Because Rakojoana is the main breadwinner for her extended family, her loss of income has created a wave of impoverishment that ripples through the generations. “I’m the main provider in the family. I support my mother, my sister, and her kids as well as mine. I pay…
Today, we are pleased to present a guest contribution written by Jamel Availoui (Paris 8-Vincennes University). A lot of my friends, economists or econometricians, do not really like the concept of Granger causality. To some extent, the essence of the concept of Granger causality is expressed in the Latin locution After this, therefore, because of this. This means after this, therefore because of this. In numerous instances, that is a fallacy, a simple temporal precedence. But not always! In my paper “Geopolitical Turnging Points and Oil Price Responses”in which I propose a novel identification procedure for geopolitical turning points, I…
Pep Guardiola admitted he will not risk playing Rodri three times a week with the Manchester City manager seemingly wary of overworking the midfielder amid the club’s rigorous schedule. Rodri missed City’s commanding win over Burnley on Saturday after stating he was not fit but the Spain international will be available to face Monaco at Stade Louis II on Wednesday in the Champions League. City struggled in Rodri’s absence last season after he suffered an ACL injury against Arsenal a year ago, and now it seems Guardiola is intent on making sure he doesn’t go without his Ballon d’Or-winning player…
