(1) While we are at it, let’s stop externalizing costs to some other territories. And to really make things equal, we are going to price all other things equally at a global level with certain cost adjustments to account for shipping and ge

Agreed. Looking for typical costs like median or average (not atypical extremes).

What kind of taxes do Germans pay? It gets difficult to compare a German higher education to other nations when the costs are embedded in taxes instead of tuition. That’s part of the reason I want to compile more information.

I agree that is not a good reason to ban everyone that is simply mistaken. But I have seen users flag one another for absolutely no reason other than they dislike their views being colored as incorrect, or dishonest when the behavior is rep

That really doesn’t get to the heart of the issue, I’m afraid. It seems to offer a form of cover and protection for views that are known the be problematic and continue to spread. Partisanship and hyper-focus on views corresponding your ide

I agree, but generally the assumptions being made by authors and known issues with the data are unstated rather than stated. Further, when highlighting such issues, the reactions can often be negative and dismissive. Obviously people don’t

China was chosen as the example “agent” in this case because they are a nation that is emblematic of manipulation (in currency, IP theft, free markets, etc.). China was also chosen for the historical imagery, forcing the Dalai Lama to flee

Late to comment here, but wanted to throw in something I haven’t seen in the article or scanning the comments. I appreciate the virtue of trying to carve out a space in the internet for a forum that is polite like a Tibetan monastery. I do.

My experience is from bureau members and long time members I’m able to identify as professionals. I’m well aware of the population of undergrad and econ101 members that are fairly easy to identify as well. If you know of any sources that ar

And still, we need to have accurate pricing data (reflecting quality and content) if we want to make accurate macroeconomic decisions in a modern age where the historical understanding of inflation and full employment appears to be broken,

Ok, but what is your better suggestion to solve the problem of quality or content creep that affects consumers and economic data? Perhaps there is a good way to have consumers be informed, or perhaps there isn’t. But at the very least, accu

I always look for price/weight or price/volume or price/count stickers but many retailers and items only list the price making you do the math. Even then, I’m aware that many items have differences in content which game the p

Pretty sure you are being sarcastic or you are not all that experienced. Talk at length with most economic professionals on /r/economics and you will find the repeatedly stated and unstated views that “the CPI is the most studied

It’s what seems to make sense. Lower relative interest rates creating the overabundant demand doesn’t seem to carry as much explanatory power when you consider that interest rates were also relatively lower before the hyper-inflationary per

That is one app’s unique and shady policy that most customers are not aware of. Doordash customers that tip probably think the tip is going to the driver, but it’s really just going to doordash and subsidizing their costs paying the deliver

Respectfully disagree with your assertion that no one here wants to get out of tipping people "not making it." The "I don't tip" sentiment is just a prevalent here as I have heard from drivers themselves that many p
