cancellation in 2020 and two makeup summer meetings in <a href=\"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/sedam_2021\">Minneapolis in\u00a0\u00a02021<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/sedam_2022\/\">Madison in 2022<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Normally, after three years in the job, I would be handing over the reins to the next President, in this case, <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/e\/pni159.html\">Juan Pablo (&#8220;JuanPa&#8221;) Nicolini<\/a>. However, despite having the two fabulous interim meetings, we are back to our original pre-Covid plan.\u00a0\u00a0To ensure a smooth succession, JuanPa and I will both be involved in overseeing the Society for the next three years&#8212;including writing biannually about the Society news.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0We&#8217;re happy to report that everything is on track for the <a href=\"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/sedam_2023\/\">summer meeting in Cartagena<\/a> on June 29-July 1. We want to thank this year&#8217;s program chairs, <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/pre260.html\">Paulina Restrepo-Echavarria<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/pre260.html\">Anmol Bhandari<\/a>, who have put together an amazing conference, and local chair <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/e\/ppr162.html\">David Perez Reyna<\/a>, who has literally been planning this for years.\u00a0\u00a0Plenary speakers will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markaguiar.com\/\">Mark Aguiar<\/a> (Princeton), <a href=\"https:\/\/faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu\/mdo738\/\">Matthias Doepke<\/a> (Northwestern), and <a href=\"https:\/\/economics.ucsd.edu\/faculty-and-research\/faculty-profiles\/v-ramey.html\">Valerie Ramey<\/a> (UC San Diego).\u00a0\u00a0We recommend that people check out <a href=\"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/sedam_2023\/\">our website<\/a> and go to <a href=\"https:\/\/evento.uniandes.edu.co\/en\/sed-2023\">local information<\/a> for details on visa requirements, accommodations, and events.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0In other news, we are pleased to announce that <a href=\"https:\/\/as.nyu.edu\/faculty\/elena-manresa.html\">Elena Manresa<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/e\/pfo48.html\">Alessandra Fogli<\/a> have agreed to chair next year&#8217;s meeting in Barcelona. This meeting was originally scheduled for 2020, then rescheduled for 2021, and then rescheduled for 2024.\u00a0\u00a0The local organizers&#8212;<a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/e\/pca127.html\">Jordi Caballe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/e\/pll15.html\">Joan Llull<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/e\/pma173.html\">Albert Marcet<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/psa1082.html\">Raul Santaeulalia-Llopis<\/a>&#8212;are excited to finally host the event, and we expect a large number of submissions. We recommend that everyone start working hard now on papers to submit later this year. We&#8217;ll provide further details in the November newsletter, so stay tuned.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0Another big news item this Spring is an upcoming change on the officer page: <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/pre260.html\">Paulina Restrepo-Echavarria<\/a> will be taking over for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marina-azzimonti.com\/\">Marina Azzimonti<\/a> as Secretary of the Society.\u00a0\u00a0The job of Secretary and Treasurer (currently <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/psc264.html\">Todd Schoellman<\/a>) is actually much bigger than that of President. Both have seven year terms so that there is institutional knowledge being passed along. They also take charge of day-to-day operations. As Secretary, Marina has brought an enormous amount of energy to the job and should be credited with bringing us into the modern era through live streaming and social media. (We did have one very bad zoom-bomb incident in Minneapolis when Marina was not with us, but <a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.repec.org\/f\/pme246.html\">Guido Menzio<\/a> seemed to take that in stride.) Fortunately for us, Paulina is dedicated to Marina&#8217;s mission, and we look forward to working with her.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0For those of you at the ASSA 2023 winter meeting, there were <a

The authors argue that this narrative is often propagated for private profit rather than public good. They undertake an expansive exploration of the past millennium, examining how those in power have historically shaped narratives to their advantage, and how ordinary citizens have challenged these power structures to share the benefits of technology more equitably. The book also highlights the rise of social exclusion and inequality, linking these issues to continuous technological development that disproportionately benefits a narrow elite. The authors propose a three-pronged approach for repurposing digital technology for the benefit of all. This book offers a timely, critical analysis of the intersection of power, technology, and progress, and is a must-read for those interested in the societal implications of technological development.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-between lg:block\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center mt-2 gap-2 md:gap-3 lg:gap-1 lg:absolute lg:top-0 lg:translate-x-full lg:right-0 lg:mt-0 lg:pl-2 visible\">\n<div class=\"flex gap-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"h-32 md:h-48 flex-shrink-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute bottom-0 left-0 w-full border-t md:border-t-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:bg-vert-light-gradient bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 md:!bg-transparent dark:md:bg-vert-dark-gradient pt-2\">\n<form class=\"stretch mx-2 flex flex-row gap-3 last:mb-2 md:mx-4 md:last:mb-6 lg:mx-auto lg:max-w-2xl xl:max-w-3xl\">\n<div class=\"relative flex h-full flex-1 items-stretch md:flex-col\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"h-full flex ml-1 md:w-full md:m-auto md:mb-2 gap-0 md:gap-2 justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-12 fusion_builder_column_5_6 5_6 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:83.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:2.304%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.304%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator section-separator horizon fusion-section-separator-3\" style=\"--awb-spacer-padding-top:17.3828125%;--awb-svg-margin-left:2.304%;--awb-svg-margin-right:2.304%;--awb-svg-margin-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-svg-margin-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-svg-margin-left-small:1.92%;--awb-svg-margin-right-small:1.92%;--awb-sep-font-size:0;--awb-sep-line-height:0;\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-svg\"><svg class=\"fusion-horizon-candy\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" width=\"100%\" viewBox=\"0 -0.5 1024 178\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" fill=\"rgba(193,5,34,1)\"><path class=\"st0\" d=\"M1024 177.371H0V.219l507.699 133.939L1024 .219v177.152z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path class=\"st1\" d=\"M1024 177.781H0V39.438l507.699 94.925L1024 39.438v138.343z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path class=\"st2\" d=\"M1024 177.781H0v-67.892l507.699 24.474L1024 109.889v67.892z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path class=\"st3\" d=\"M1024 177.781H0v-3.891l507.699-39.526L1024 173.889v3.892z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg><\/div><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer-height\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16819","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16819\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/david-alegre.com\/repo-sed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
