Thursday assorted links

1. “Across 10 studies using mixed methods and different measures of deviant behavior, we provide evidence that masks are a moral symbol in China that reduces wearers’ deviant behavior by heightening their moral awareness.”  Link here, speculative.

2. Jeff Sachs interview with the Teheran Times, suggesting that maybe that Covid came out of a U.S. lab, posted on the Jeff Sachs web site.  Hard for me to imagine giving such an interview to the Teheran Times.

3. Tribute to Jacques Drèze.

4. New issue of Works in Progress.

5. In the U.S. chess championship, which has new and stronger anti-cheating protocols, Hans Niemann is 13th in a field of 14.

6. It seems women do not pay more for goods.  But perhaps tariffs fall disproportionately on women (because of apparel).

7. Good FT dialogue on Russia and nukes.
