That’s a really interesting overview, what has changed that recessions in the US became less frequent and less severe?

Our federal government spends 5x more per capita on the elderly than on kids. Seniors have more wealth than any other age group. Young couples can’t afford to buy homes. US fertility is plummeting. Our federal debt is out of control. And yet -

America’s seniors will see a new $6,000 bonus exemption as a part of the Working Families Tax Cut. That’s $93 billion in tax cuts for seniors all over the country.

New paper w/ @GarrettEdScott of @OleMiss_Econ and @AlexMarshEcon of Bates White studies the introduction of upgrade auctions by airlines. We find that strategic consumers and the airline's lack of commitment to not award upgrades can negatively impact profits. #econtwitter

Maybe - and I'm just spitballing here - having one person frenetically set, and then suddenly change, taxes on trillions of dollars in annual commerce isn't the best way to do US economic policy?

Nice piece by @Noahpinion clarifying - one more time for those in the back of the room - that imports do not reduce GDP. When econ journalists spread this fallacy in their reporting, it feeds Trump's argument that trade reduces growth. Not true! noahpinion.blog/p/why-do-eco…

I am also off another market: the marriage market! On 11/16/2024, I married my best friend, Mickey Murvin, and had the best day of my life. She’ll be looking for a postdoc in DC for RNA biology starting this fall.

I am very happy to announce that I am off the job market! I will be joining @BatesWhiteEcon as an Economist in the antitrust practice this fall. I could not be more excited to be joining a firm known for providing advanced economic analysis of real and challenging questions!
