Afternoon roundup

The closing of the browser tabs:

• Cowen runs game theory on Ukraine. Recall that Schelling was his supervisor. 
• Current stand-down rules require self-isolation only if you or a member of your direct household has Covid. A fifth of Ports of Auckland workers are on stand-down, whether sick themselves or with a sick household member. 
• "the government’s capacity to control all facets of the pandemic is starting to visibly break down"
• Tony Burton has some cautions about Mazzucatto's mission-driven state. ($, but will presumably ungate down the track by dropping the /pro/ from the URL)
• Ryan Greenaway-McGrevy and Peter Philips find that the Auckland Unitary Plan roughly doubled housing build after it came into effect. They're having a seminar on it on Friday, 10-11am, Zoom link.
