Met een pakket orders ter waarde van 1,9 miljard euro is Nederland een van de belangrijkste klanten van de Israëlische wapenindustrie geworden. De helft daarvan is besteld na de start van het Israëlische offensief in Gaza in oktober 2023. De genocide heeft daar kortom geen enkele rem op gezet.'

The Drone flights vs car break-ins chart in this article is fascinating: It shows a sharply declining rate of car break-ins, and then, as drone flights are introduced later in 2024, the rate of decline slows.
And "The SFPD increased patrols in bipping hot spots like Fisherman’s Wharf starting in 2023. Cops also started using bait cars and building cases against major bipping gangs. " And that correlates with the fastest rate of decline - good, old fashioned policing.

Organizational Technology Ladders: Remote Work and Generative AI Adoption
Gregor Schubert

Abstract: This study proposes that firms move along an "organizational technology ladder": adopting one technology transforms hiring and work processes and builds skills and organizational capital that change the cost of adopting subsequent technologies. I study how firms' adoption of remote work technology during the COVID-19 period shaped later uptake of generative AI. Using U.S. job-posting data and an instrumental-variables strategy based on predicted differences in labor-market pressure to offer remote work, I estimate that a 10 percentage point increase in remote hiring in 2021-2022 increases the share of job postings mentioning generative AI in 2023-2024 by 0.4 percentage points across firms and 0.7 percentage points across occupations within firms. I provide evidence on mechanisms consistent with a technology-ladder channel: remote work adoption shifts hiring toward technical and managerial capabilities that predict faster conversion of generative AI exposure into adoption. Firms with return-to-office mandates---interpreted as revealing low remote productivity---exhibit a substantially larger response of generative AI adoption to remote work, consistent with an organizational frictions channel.

A Note on the Identification Step in "A Semistructural Methodology for Policy Counterfactuals"
Henri Ker\"anen
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.10596 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.10596 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.10596

Abstract: The New Keynesian example of Beraja (2023) is not identified at its printed calibration: more than one structure satisfies every condition of its identification step. Two of the paper's six identifying restrictions coincide on equilibrium equations consistent with the printed reduced form, leaving eleven conditions to determine an equation's twelve coefficients. The note derives the rank condition the identification step requires, computable from the reduced form and the restrictions alone. The note also documents and corrects a misprint in the paper's counterfactual display. A one-clause amendment to the paper's Theorem 1 restores its conclusion.
