One particular problem: the president has the ability to offer tariff exemptions for specific firms. This creates an obvious possibility for corrupt policymaking, rewarding friends and punishing enemies. This isn't theory: it actually happened under Trump 1.0 5/ www2.lehigh.edu/news/politic...

I’m excited to share my JMP, in which I develop a model of two-tier collective wage bargaining---where central negotiations are supplemented with local adjustments---in a frictional labor market. 1/8 Website: sites.google.com/view/agnetab...

Should we subsidise the care for elderly people? Patrizia blends elegant theoretical with excellent empirical work to show that an increase of the subsidy in fact paid for itself. She is an enormously promising researcher. Check out her work!

A quite fascinating aspect of the Swedish collective wage bargaining system is that unions, employer associations and their respective confederations, invest a lot in producing their own knowledge about the state and development of the economy. As it turns out, they do it quite well. t.co/1v1YUuOWPx

If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me. Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.
