We’ve had a tough week of gun violence. First there were the killings at the Washington Naval Yard. Then there was the shooting of thirteen people in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood. Miraculously, no one died in that Chicago incident. It remained plenty revolting. Firefighters were hosing the park down in the middle of the night so kids wouldn’t have to walk past the gory scene on the way to school the next morning.

I have more human sympathy than your average person for a young person who joins a gang or gets caught up in the underground economy, or for a nineteen-year-old who packs a gun because he fears his peers. I just can’t process someone shooting a three-year-old boy in the face with an assault weapon. The boy will survive, though he will require plastic surgery.

To state the obvious, I am sick of the depravity caused by the usual stupid code-of-the-street or turf crap.

Mark Kleiman and I chatted by video to discuss a range of issues occasioned by these incidents. Highlights are shown below.

For those who reject, my Climatopolis vision that individuals (if they face market and social incentives) will adapt to emerging climate change risk then take a look at this quote from this Sunday’s NY Times.  

“California has been a leader in adopting building codes and brush-removal regulations, but for the most part, despite the clear evidence from Cohen’s published research, municipal governments in the western United States have been slow to follow. Some people don’t want to cut down trees; others don’t want government telling them what to do with their property. Cohen said that when he took his research to urban firefighters, he didn’t find an enthusiastic audience. His experience with fire departments that had not been “kicked multiple times” by wildfire has been that they don’t want to be the ones telling homeowners they’re part of the problem; his impression is that urban firefighters prefer instead to say, “This fire was so big and fast, there was nothing we could do to save your house.” And that’s true, as far as it goes. But until people grasp or act on what Cohen has demonstrated — that homeowners would not need to rely on firefighters as much as they do if their houses were better built and maintained and the properties around them were prepared to withstand fire — changes to forest management and firefighting policies are unlikely to significantly improve matters.”

UC Berkeley’s Enrico Moretti has published an excellent piece in the Wall Street Journal.

“Since 1980, data show that the economic success of a city has been increasingly defined by its number of highly educated workers. Cities with many college-educated workers and innovative employers started attracting more of the same, and cities with a less educated workforce and less innovative employers—such as traditional manufacturing—started losing ground.

He continues

My research shows that scientists and software engineers are not the only ones who thrive as a result. Using data on nine million workers in 320 U.S. metropolitan areas, I found that for each new innovation-job in a city, five additional jobs are created—not only in professional occupations (lawyers, teachers, nurses) but also nonprofessional occupations (waiters, hairdressers, carpenters). For each new software designer hired at Twitter in San Francisco, there are five new job openings for baristas, personal trainers, therapists and taxi drivers. The most important effect of high-tech companies on the local economy is outside high-tech.”

Moretti calls this the “local multiplier effect”.   Those mayors who can deliver high quality of life will be able to attract and retain the skilled and then will enjoy the tax base benefits that Moretti sketches.    The city competition for the skilled does not have to be a zero sum game if  mayors implement policies that “grow more local” skilled people.  Here then, we must embrace the Heckman Agenda and also change the rules that govern local public schools to allow them more flexibility in educating kids.    Since the RBC has a taste for “doom and gloom”,  this case study of Detroit by George Galster will interest you.

A friend writes to suggest that George Zimmerman’s detention on domestic-violence charges offers me the opportunity to crow. I am reminded of a fine old Bert Williams song that I once heard Dave van Ronk perform.

Ivory bones with ebony dots
oft lead to cemetery lots.
A game last night brought on a fight
that ended up in pistol shots.
I was the furthest from the door;
the others all got out before.
Upon the floor a man lay dead,
and through the transom someone said—

Somebody will have to stay behind.
Someone must remain.
And later, when the police arrive,
explain why this, our brother,
is no longer alive.
The man who stays and sees it through
will gain celebrity.
It’s a wonderful chance for somebody.
Somebody else, not me.

Yale’s Paul Sabin revisits the Ehrlich vs. Simon bet on limits to growth.  His nuanced piece makes many reasonable points.  Towards the end of his piece he says some things that I strongly disagree with.  I know that the readers of this blog will agree with him, so let’s have some fun.  Here is a direct quote which I will “deconstruct” after the fold;

“Mr. Simon liked to argue that new problems prompt solutions that ultimately leave people better off than before. But we cannot surmount our challenges if we simply deny that they exist.

Instead of using science as a resource for human betterment, conservatives who reject the evidence of human-caused global warming prevent the very creative problem-solving that Mr. Simon advocated. And if environmentalists like Mr. Ehrlich hadn’t urged action back in the 1970s, would all that creativity have been channeled into the cleaner air and water that we enjoy today?

We face choices about our future direction. As Mr. Ehrlich and many other environmental scientists have documented, by pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we put things we value and love in danger, from the coral reefs to the Jersey Shore, from homes threatened by wildfire to farms endangered by drought.

And even if Mr. Simon is right that humans can adapt and prosper on this rapidly changing planet, we have to ask ourselves whether the risks and inequalities of this change are desirable.”

I am in Singapore working at NUS but I continue to read the New York Times.   David Autor and David Dorn have written an important piece about the role that computers have played in hollowing out middle class jobs.   They end on an optimistic note;

There will be job opportunities in middle-skill jobs, but not in the traditional blue-collar production and white-collar office jobs of the past. Rather, we expect to see growing employment among the ranks of the “new artisans”: licensed practical nurses and medical assistants; teachers, tutors and learning guides at all educational levels; kitchen designers, construction supervisors and skilled tradespeople of every variety; expert repair and support technicians; and the many people who offer personal training and assistance, like physical therapists, personal trainers, coaches and guides. These workers will adeptly combine technical skills with interpersonal interaction, flexibility and adaptability to offer services that are uniquely human.

Three points:  For this new “nimble economy” to replace lifetime jobs will require some capitalist magic;

1.  Health insurance will need to be portable across jobs.   Read Dr. Madrian’s paper on job lock.  

2.  Internet services in providing kosher “rankings” of quality of different artisans will have to be developed.  In a fair world, a good artisan will be able to objectively signal to potential customers that she offers high quality services per $ she charges.

3.  This will be a risky world as self employed workers may still face periods of low demand.  In the Keynesian model, consumption today is a function of income today (do you remember:  C = a + b*Y?) .  If we take this model seriously, this means that artisans could face very volatile consumption as their incomes bounce around over time.  Since people prefer smoothed consumption over time,  such artisans will have to become shrewder life time consumers and explicitly embrace the permanent income hypothesis of consumption.   In this age of behavioral economics featuring myopic consumers, the nudgers will have to think about how to incentivize the Homer Simpsons to save for a rainy day.

In this age of product differentiation and celebrating the individual, it makes perfect sense that new artisans will arise in cities around the world.  Such services are often non-tradeable and this means that these producers will locate close to the final consumers.  Such final consumers will often be the 1% and in this sense they create jobs.  Read Moretti’s Local Multipliers paper.
