 two geographic ends of the world, but also at two culturally polar opposites. If Jerusalem is a city of sacred modesty then Rio de Janeiro is the exact opposite. Here, perhaps due to the heat, the hidden becomes the transparent. Along the miles of beaches, Cariocas, (the name given to the people of Rio) wear the least amount of clothing possible, even where ascetics might demand more personal discretion. Likewise if Jerusalem is a celebration of the profound, Rio is a celebration of the frivolous and superficial. The locals state that Rio’s culture has three pillars: futebol (soccer), the beach, and carnival. Here work is not a career but an interference in the pursuit of the sensual and the casualness of life.
Despite the dissimilarities, sometimes opposites tend to meet. Jerusalem is a city of deep convictions, so deep that at times these convictions manifest themselves in violence. Rio is a city of the here and now, so much so, that the joie de vivre attitude also becomes violent. In one city, violence stems from too much caring, and in the other it stems fro too little. Ironically, both cities’ most famous landmarks have to do with faith. If Jerusalem is dominated by its Dome of The Rock, the Western Wall, and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Rio is dominated by Corcovado, its ultimate symbol of Catholicism.
In a like manner Israel is in the Middle East but culturally it is not really of the current Middle East. Despite the fact that Jewish life predates Arab civilization by millennia, Israel lies culturally on the periphery of the Middle East. It is a Hebrew speaking island in a sea of Arabic. In a like manner Brazil is in Latin America but not of Latin America. Here the language is Portuguese and Brazilian culture and cuisine are worlds apart from its Spanish speaking neighbors. Just as Israel lies on the Middle East’s edge so too does Brazil and in a real sense that reality is also true of the United States.
There is no doubt that both Brazil and Rio are going through a time of political change. The socialist left-leaning governments of the past have been swept away. Socialism, disguised as liberalism, was once seen as the hope of the poor, but now it is viewed as the poison of the downtrodden. People here speak of socialism as the method by which rich white pseudo-intelectuais convinced the poor to stay poor and naive young people are seduced into lives of poverty and disappointments.
Although it is way too early even to dare to predict if these political changes will turn poverty into economic opportunity, or merely be one more failed political aspiration, there is a great deal of hope. In that sense there is a great similarity between these two very dissimilar cities. Israel’s national anthem is Ha’Tikva meaning Hope and here in Rio de Janeiro the word most often heard is Esperança: Hope!
Perhaps it is hope that unites these two culturally polar opposites and permits the human soul to create light from darkness. Best regards from a land where the sun shines brightly with hope and simple joys.
LMAO. How on earth do those differences warrant a JOLE -> QJE
The real outrageous thing is that the JOLE predated the cop1cat QJE by two years...
Bailey et al. (published in a JOLE special issue) discusses the paper as follows:
The results for employment in the reference week provide a direct comparison to Derenoncourt and Montialoux (2019), who use employment in the reference week conditional on labor-force participation as their primary outcome. In addition, their preferred specification does not control for state-by-birth cohort
or gross state product, which Table 2 demonstrates are important in accounting for differential skill and economic growth in more affected states. Similar to our findings, Derenoncourt and Montialoux (2019) report that the 1966 FLSA had no detectable effect for employment in the reference week.
Im not from the field; and I do not want to go into mob-like thoughts on this. but is there anyone knowledgeable that can offer a rebuttal? and explain how important differences between the papers that may warrant the difference in outlets?
To sum up, a paper claiming that MW reduced the racial wage gap while not causing employment losses among black people is published in the QJE, while the appendix of a contemporaneous paper shows that by adding just a few very reasonable changes to the specification of Derenoncourt et al it appears that employment losses among black people were significant instead. Tells a lot about how a powerful group of the profession likes to push this "MW are heaven" story nowadays.
Not contemporaneous, Bailey predates.
