Tuesday, August 24, 2021

interview with Russ Robertsvia EconTalk
Monday, August 23, 2021

Law professors Michael Heller and James Salzman talk about their book, Mine! with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Heller and Salzman argue that ownership is trickier and more complicated than it looks.

Masking Children: Who Decides?

by David Davenportvia The Washington Examiner
Thursday, August 19, 2021

If you are confused about whether children should wear masks to school this fall, join the crowd. More to the point: Do you even know whose decision that is? With conflicting advice about the science of masking children, federalism battles among federal, state, and local powers, and pandemic political posturing all around, it is nearly impossible to figure out who is in charge here.

Masks Redux

by John H. Cochranevia The Grumpy Economist
Wednesday, August 18, 2021

My previous post on Delta policy and masks led to some discussion that went off the rails, on twitter especially. An effort to summarize the point: From the literature I have read, masks can be moderately medically effective. The literature has pretty wide ranging estimates, from some studies and meta-studies saying no effect, and others saying substantial effects.
