    This article is about the Economist's summary of a journal article so we have a (AI?) summary of a summary. Not very helpful. Here are a couple of better references:

    https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6868618

    https://archive.is/w1eng

    Also note the findings are more nuanced than may appear on the surface.

      Ok, we'll merge the current thread into https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49357530, which is one hop closer to the source. I'll put the link to the paper in the toptext there as well.

      Thanks!

      All this plus a malware popup too, at least when I looked.
