Hot off the presses, I propose a way to appraise and tax the value that employers capture by imposing mandatory arbitration and other coercive dispute resolution terms on their workers. Hey employers, that income is gross: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

In light of the Biden's upcoming executive order on noncompetes, here's a new working paper that has implications for how we should think about any rule the FTC develops. A brief 🧵

In my paper with @MichaelLipsitz and @KurtLavetti we show exactly this: when noncompetes are enforceable, workers are unable to leverage a tightening in the labor market to secure wage gains, shutting down a key channel of wage growth papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
Hugely important point from @hshierholz re: Biden and non-competes. If you aren't in a union, the only real leverage you have at work is the threat of leaving for another job. Non-competes keep wages down by neutering that threat. huffpost.com/entry/joe-biden…

Biden describes non-compete clauses as "ridiculous" in how prevalent they are across industries
"If your employer wants to keep you, he or she should have to make it worth your while to stay," he says

Here's my latest op-ed, on anti-trans laws.
Recent antitransgender legislation is premised on false narratives that #LGBTQ individuals and rights harm children.

I've read the Weisselberg indictment. If we take its assertions as true, this is no ticky-tack, or foot fault, or debatable case of tax fraud. You might as well repeal the federal, state, and city income taxes as discover this sort of conduct and not prosecute it.
Rebecca Morrow retweeted
Wow. "arranged for tuition expenses for Weisselberg's family members to be paid by personal checks drawn on the account of & signed by Donald J. Trump"
One might've thought before today: They're charging Weisselberg b/c they don't have goods on Trump.
They've got goods on Trump

Love the excepts you selected @Adam_Zimmerman - thank you!
A provocative new paper by @ProfRMorrow argues that, to the extent mandatory arbitration agreements enrich employers who impose them, they should be taxed, just like other lucrative intangible assets. scholar.smu.edu/cgi/viewcont…
