<p><span data-color="rgb(0, 0, 0)">Could Celan be the very best poet of all time? When read in the German language, I think he might be. When read in English, he is still very good.

<p><span data-color="rgb(0, 0, 0)">Now we finally have a first-rate biography. Celan’s mother was killed in the Holocaust, and he took his own life in 1970, drowning himself in the Seine.

<p><span data-color="rgb(0, 0, 0)">I found this book gripping from start to finish. Given the topic I cannot call it a “fun” read, but it is absorbing and the translation is very accessible.</span></p>
<p><span data-color="rgb(0, 0, 0)">Is it possible that Anna Arno is one of our best intellectuals today? She has written on the German painter Paula Modersohn-Becker and the Polish writer and activist Konstanty Jeleński, and has done important work as a translator, including of Henry James—though those works are in Polish, and thus inaccessible to me. Can we get translations as soon as possible? In the meantime, you can start with this one.</span></p></blockquote>

<p data-component="paragraph">Sweden has recently experienced its first net emigration in 50 years, thanks to higher minimum wages for labor visas, tougher citizenship tests and, most controversially, financial payouts of up to $37,000 for refugees who volunteer to leave. It has also made progress against violent crime in the immigrant-heavy suburbs, increasing police numbers and toughening the penal code, including a boost to stop-and-search powers and a lowering in the age of criminal responsibility to 14.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today about a quarter of the US workforce are <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://www.archbridgeinstitute.org/state-occupational-licensing-index/">required to have a license to work in their chosen profession</a>, up from just <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/669060">5 percent in 1950</a>. Almost always the trend has been to add occupational licensing over time, but in 1983 Colorado did something unusual: it delicensed funeral service workers such as funeral directors. Brandon Pizzola and I analyzed what happened in our 2017 paper, <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0144818817300078"><span class="title-text">Occupational licensing causes a wage premium: Evidence from a natural experiment in Colorado&#8217;s funeral services industry</span></a>.</p>
<p>What we found was that delicensing reduced wages, reduced prices, and caused a shift towards cremation rather than the more expensive mortuary services preferred by funeral directors. Here&#8217;s a key figure.</p>
<figure id="attachment_93217" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-93217" style="width: 660px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-93217 " src="https://marginalrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/funeral-1-1024x538.jpg" alt="" width="660" height="347" srcset="https://marginalrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/funeral-1-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https://marginalrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/funeral-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https://marginalrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/funeral-1-768x403.jpg 768w, https://marginalrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/funeral-1-1536x807.jpg 1536w, https://marginalrevolution.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/funeral-1-2048x1076.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-93217" class="wp-caption-text">Average weekly wages in the funeral services industry in Colorado and the US (excluding Colorado), pre and post Colorado&#8217;s delicensing in 1983.</figcaption></figure>
<p>But that is not the end of the story. In 2023 a series of <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-owner-colorado-funeral-home-decomposing-bodies-found-sentenced-30-y-rcna342025">gruesome abuses</a> came to light involving the sale of body parts, rotting bodies, and worse. Newspapers repeatedly noted that Colorado was the only state not to license funeral service workers. As a result, Colorado is relicensing funeral service workers as of 2027.</p>
<p>The problem is that there is no evidence that abuses were worse in Colorado. It&#8217;s easy to find <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://dlawgroup.com/funeral-home-abuse-negligence-file-claim/">similar abuses</a>—including sexual abuse of corpses—in states with heavy licensing. Pizzola and I didn&#8217;t examine the rate of necrophilia among funeral workers in our paper (silly us), but we did cite the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>A recent US government review of occupational licensing concluded that &#8220;the empirical research does not find large improvements in quality or health and safety from more stringent licensing&#8221; (CEA, 2015). Similarly, Colorado revisited their decision in a 1990 sunrise review that considered reinstating occupational licensing. The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies found that since the 1983 occupational delicensing: (1) &#8220;there had been incidents of malpractice within the profession but no widespread pattern of abuse,&#8221; (2) &#8220;[a]llegations of significant threats to the public health, safety and welfare perpetrated by the death care industry in Colorado regarding the improper disposal of human or infectious wastes had not been supported by verifiable evidence,&#8221; and (3) &#8220;claims that the public in Colorado had suffered or might suffer significant detriment due to a lack of trained mortuary science practitioners caused by the abolition of the Board were unsupported&#8221; (Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, 2007).</p></blockquote>
<p>Moreover, the licensing requirements—mandating various hours of training and so forth—have very little to do with the types of abuses that generated public support for relicensing. How many hours of &#8220;don&#8217;t have sex with corpses&#8221; training is required? And the funeral director in the worst Colorado case was in fact sentenced to <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0q4q7w237yo">40 years in jail</a>. Isn&#8217;t that incentive enough?</p>
<p>People want what cannot be guaranteed: good behavior in all circumstances. And they will reach for a licensing regime if it promises that, even when such promises are empty.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From GA:</p>
<blockquote><p>I am a mathematician&#8230;and some of your recent comments on MR about the role of AI in Econ research as well as the (disappearing?) role of academic papers inspired this response. (It is partially but not exclusively about academia, so I hope it is ok that I&#8217;m sending it to your GMU address. Also, I&#8217;m hoping it doesn&#8217;t get flagged as spam because of the ai in the title&#8230;)</p>
<p>In no particular order:</p>
<p>-In the course of a math career, one accumulates lots of computational guesses, now one can test those with minimal effort.</p>
<p>-One also accumulates lots of incomplete and half formed drafts, proofs of special cases, etc, etc. Running those past claude and chatgpt can (does!) pay off. A lot of math is cleverly applying linear algebra and while I&#8217;m very good at linear algebra, I&#8217;m not as good at it as the AI&#8217;s are.</p>
<p>-The lower hanging fruit here are slightly off the beaten track, but not esoteric subjects. If you have a good overview of such, you can pretty quickly prod ai&#8217;s into making progress on them. (Before, you needed to have a school of grad students for that). Basic techniques (graph theory, algebra, calculus..) that ai&#8217;s are already good at can push these forward already. Making progress on truly hot topics is harder.</p>
<p>-There are some quite smart people trying to measure just how good autonomous ai&#8217;s are at math (e.g. the first batch project). That&#8217;s a fun game, but for practical purposes right now, what is relevant is how good an ai is when guided by a motivated human. I suspect we&#8217;ll see some remarkable things on that front in the next few years once math people really grok the good routines.</p>
<p>-For instance, getting claude and chatgpt to referee each other&#8217;s arguments is fun, and they genuinely have different insights on parts of the same problem.</p>
<p>-The kids will be all right. Right now, they are making pocket change doing ai training developed a better &#8220;feel&#8221; for the different ai&#8217;s that I probably ever will. And they learn things by asking the ai to explain an argument to them instead of trying to decipher a math book or paper.</p>
<p>-Which brings me to your papers point. I notice that a project informed with the right context is much more informative to me than the physical pdf of a math paper, and much easier to extract information out of by just asking the thing.</p>
<p>-Refereeing will look very different very soon. All the referee reports that have been collected by the journals should be valuable, hard to get data. And running all the accepted and published math papers through ai&#8217;s as the `control&#8217; will end with quite a few people having egg on their face. It&#8217;s like self-driving cars, but there is no refereeing union.</p>
<p>-The last really big math revolution was all the stuff in the wake of Witten and 4-manifold stuff predicted by string theory in the early 90&#8217;s. This is going to be so much bigger than that. Buckle up.</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2023 in <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2023/05/does-the-shingles-vaccine-prevent-dementia-yes.html">Can the Shingles Vaccine Prevent Dementia?</a> I wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>A new paper provides <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.05.23.23290253v1.full.pdf">good evidence that the shingles vaccine can prevent dementia</a>, which strongly suggests that some forms of dementia are caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV), the virus that on initial infection causes chickenpox.</p></blockquote>
<p>We now have three more studies&#8211;from America, Australia and Canada&#8211;that find similar results using large numbers and credible research designs. Thus, I think we can up this to the Shingles vaccine reduces dementia.</p>
<p>Eric Topol <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://erictopol.substack.com/p/spotlight-on-the-shingles-vaccineagain">summarizes the new evidence</a> and writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>If you are 50+ and have not gotten Shingrix vaccinated, you may want to consider that. You get protection vs Shingles (which can be dreadful), slowing of your biological aging (by methylation and RNA metrics), and ~20% reduction of dementia, predominantly related to Alzheimer’s disease. All of this benefit is magnified in women compared with men, but 3 of the studies showed some reduction of dementia in men. As a tradeoff, men appear to derive more cardiovascular benefit, but that evidence is not as compelling as protection from dementia from natural experiments.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>We study how firms built around AI capabilities-&#8220;AI-native&#8221; firms-are organized. Drawing on Y Combinator batches W20-F24 and U.S. venture-backed startups whose first financing closed between 2020 and 2024, we classify each firm&#8217;s AI-native status and link it to workforce microdata on team size, function, seniority, and hierarchy. Relative to non-AI startups in the same industry-cohort, AI-native firms are 25% smaller. Their share of engineers is 13% greater, and the shares of entry-level workers and managers are each roughly 15% lower. Their hierarchies are half a seniority level flatter-yet valuations are comparable, implying more value created per employee. We argue these patterns reflect two channels: a process channel, in which AI changes how people work inside the firm, and a product channel, in which AI capabilities are built into what the firm sells. Using text from product descriptions and job postings, we find that embedding AI into the product, beyond layering on AI tools into existing workflows, is a primary way startups are scaling &#8220;knowledge work&#8221; without large teams of knowledge workers.</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dave is CEO and co-founder of Roblox, and here is <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/dave-baszucki/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the audio, video, and transcript</a>.  From the episode summary:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="font-claude-response-body">With over 100 million daily active users and projected revenue bookings of $7 billion this year, it is one of the largest gaming economies in the world—and one that has made millionaires out of teenage developers in Argentina, South Korea, and everywhere in between.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body">Tyler and Dave explore why Roblox decided early against prioritizing advertising revenue, why Dave thinks the main competition of Roblox is its own execution speed rather than Fortnite, whether every mega platform inevitably becomes an everything app, how falling token costs will change the platform, why he insists all the games on Roblox are beautiful, whether Robux should have a floating exchange rate, why admitting you have kids under 13 on your platform turns out to be a competitive advantage, why he’s skeptical of blanket social media bans, what his son’s experience with bipolar disorder taught him about metabolic health, his two-year sabbatical between companies that involved a motorhome trip across North America and a stint hosting talk radio in Santa Cruz, why <em>Mutiny on the Bounty</em> remains one of his favorite books, what he’ll learn next, and much more.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Excerpt:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>COWEN: </strong>What percentage of your games now do you feel are beautiful?</p>
<p><strong>BASZUCKI: </strong>All of them.</p>
<p><strong>COWEN: </strong>Some look just quite ordinary. They might be fun, but I wouldn’t say they’re beautiful, right?</p>
<p><strong>BASZUCKI: </strong>Well, I was trying to go a couple levels out of the box on you there. The reason I feel they’re beautiful is when you said that, I immediately went to look and feel, but then I tried to imagine the 12-year-old or the 18-year-old or the 30-year-old struggling to build something wonderful and the human connection to those games. By that definition, I think they’re all beautiful. They are all the efforts of creation of real people trying to pour their hearts out to make something that other people love to play.</p>
<p>On an artistic basis, I think you could ask me what percent of paintings in the MoMA do I think are beautiful. I’d probably say 20 percent. If I had to look at 1,000 Roblox games, I wouldn’t name which is more beautiful to me because I think that’s less important than really the heartfelt work of all the creators.</p>
<p><strong>COWEN: </strong>I’ve been struck when I look at gaming at how much people don’t seem to care much about the visual beauty of their games. I would have expected something different, say, 15 years ago, and they just want a game that engages them somehow. Normal standards of visual beauty seem to have fallen away. Is that incorrect? Would you correct that impression in some manner?</p>
<p><strong>BASZUCKI: </strong>I think you’re absolutely correct. What I feel you may actually be describing, if we looked into other disciplines, the evolution of story from the campfire to written to audio to a movie, and the increasing fidelity; all of those stories, in a way, are beautiful, but at the time, for the vast majority of the creators, it may be that writing is just easier than producing a 4K Hollywood movie. I feel that’s a little bit like the metaphor you’re talking about right now in gaming.</p>
<p>For the vast majority of people, their story or their idea for their game is actually pretty beautiful. Whether it’s a fashion game like <em>Dress to Impress</em> or it’s a grow garden game, the games are arguably beautiful, even if they don’t look photorealistic. What I think we’ll see is, over time, as AI helps accelerate the ability to make games look really polished in any style the creator wants—could be photorealistic, could be anime, could be a Warner Brothers 2D cartoon look—you and I might say that looks more beautiful, but the core gameplay is still somewhat the original gameplay. I think we are going to see games arguably look more beautiful, even though I think they’re all beautiful.</p></blockquote>
<p>The dialogue is a bit slow to get underway, but there are many interesting parts.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Latin America&#8217;s momentous fertility transition is now in the domain of history, allowing a cohort perspective on the decline of completed fertility. Using census microdata from 17 Latin American countries, we track female birth cohorts from the 1920s to the 1970s by subnational region to document the extent to which cohort fertility decline coincided with other demographic and socioeconomic processes. Across cohorts within subnational regions, children ever born fell one-for-one with mortality decline. Expansions in urbanization, multigenerational living, women&#8217;s and husbands&#8217; education, women&#8217;s employment, and the non-agricultural sector all predicted declines in ever-born and surviving fertility, but women&#8217;s education and sectoral composition were the dominant forces after covariate adjustment. Fertility decline was not systematically linked with improvements in children&#8217;s outcomes, including school enrollment, literacy, primary completion, and non-employment. These cohort facts challenge theories of fertility decline centered on women&#8217;s work and children&#8217;s education but support others emphasizing women&#8217;s education.</p></blockquote>
<p>I fear that means the women think they are finding better and more fun things to do?  Which is hardly bad per se, but&#8230;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Much of what looks like changing marriage preferences over the twentieth century is actually demographics. Exploiting plausibly exogenous variation in sex ratios across U.S. birth cohorts (1870, 1930, 1950), we jointly identify preferences, match quality dynamics, and the costs of marriage and divorce. Demographics alone explain two-thirds of cross-cohort differences. Women’s premium for older husbands collapsed across cohorts; men’s preferences barely changed. Love that survives its early years becomes permanent, but the odds of surviving fell from 97% to 44%. Divorce costs fell six-fold and depend on life stage. A horse race across behavioral channels shows that the match quality process—not mate-age preferences—is the primary dimension of generational change. Declining divorce costs and fragile match quality are substitutes: either alone fits the data, but together they reveal two independent dimensions of social change. The model validates out of sample on the 1910 and 1970 cohorts.</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>A <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/21522715261449334">new study</a> by Irish researcher Eoin Whelan attempts to answer this. Dr. Whelan told me he was specifically inspired by Haidt’s 2024 claims and sought to examine them rigorously and in the context of other regrets. This is a great use of science…testing dramatic public claims. So…do they hold up?</p>
<p>In Dr. Whelan’s study, 389 young adult participants (20-24) who were social media users as teens were asked about their regrets regarding their teenage years. A list of 20 possible teenage regrets was asked of all participants, with degree of regret marked on a 7-point Likert scale. This is an interesting design…testing social media regrets against other possible regrets, putting them in better context than the crude survey Haidt relied on.</p>
<p>So how did social media regrets hold up? Out of 20 possible regrets, too much time on social media ranked 13<sup>th</sup>. The top regrets were 1.) not sticking up for oneself, 2.) being too self-conscious, 3.) not documenting memories, 4.) not learning practical life skills and 5.) not getting help with mental health. Girls were slightly more likely to regret time on social media than boys (ranking 11<sup>th</sup> vs 13<sup>th</sup>) though this effect was very small (I estimated it at about <em>r </em>= .11) so hardly the big “vulnerable girls” narrative some have peddled.</p>
<p>Further, regrets over time spent on social media as a teen did not predict current young adult life satisfaction for either boys or girls. Thus such regrets may be more a symptom of current panics over social media than anything of actual life importance<span data-state="closed"><a id="footnote-anchor-2" class="footnote-anchor" href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/marginalrevolution/~https://grimoiremanor.substack.com/p/do-teens-regret-their-social-media?r=un33&amp;utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;triedRedirect=true#footnote-2" target="_self" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM">2</a></span>. Of the regrets, only not working harder in school and not exercising negatively predicted young adult life satisfaction. Interestingly, having regrets over socializing with friends positively predicted life satisfaction.</p>
<p>As Dr. Whelan noted in his study, “The objective of this study was to critically examine the commonly held belief that social media use during teenage years is a significant source of regret and a predictor of diminished well-being in early adulthood…Contrary to dominant narratives in the public domain, our results suggest that regrets over time spent on social media are not among the most potent regrets reported by young adults…As such, these results align with prior research indicating that the harmful effects of social media may be overstated.”</p></blockquote>
