Comey, the New York Times, Obama and the Lucas Critique: Ethical Leadership in the Presence of Political Constraints

The sender’s preferences depend on the gap between her decision and the ethical decision and on her “reputation So the sender’s reputational concerns may arise for ethical reasons. The receivers do not know the sender’s preferences – is the sender ethical or biased towards one receiver or the other? A receiver is more likely to support the sender the closer is the sender’s decision is to his own policy preference.

That Rizzo Bloop

In the bottom of the 8th inning of tonight’s game 3 of the NLDS, Anthony Rizzo blooped a single to shallow left and Leonys Martin scored what proved to be the winning run. The noteworthy thing is that Martin scored from second base on a ball that was so shallow it was playable by the shortstop. The reason he was able to score from second is that there were two outs and he was free to run without worrying about potentially tagging if the ball was caught. So this raises an interesting question:  was this a situation in which the Cubs were better off with two outs (as opposed to one or zero)?

And indeed the reason he knows he will quit after running half the distance is that he knows that when he gets there he will know that after running another half the distance he will still quit so why bother. The Marathon game is not continuous at infinity. To make it continuous at infinity, assume that Zeno’s fans will be almost as proud of him if he runs 26.1999 miles as they would be if he ran the remaining one-millionth of a mile. If so, then Zeno’s payoff from nearly completing the Marathon is positive and the Quitting strategy becomes improvable.
