Working-class people make up half the U.S. workforce, but just 1% of lawmakers. And the gap is global: 2% of legislators in the average democracy come from working-class jobs. Why? New from CGD Director @noamlupu.bsky.social & @carnes.bsky.social in @us.theconversation.com: tinyurl.com/mrxvpkt2

Why working-class people account for around 1% of lawmakers in the US – and only 2% in the average democracy around the world
Campaigning anywhere for any office at any level of government is personally burdensome.

Lots of talk on X today about rethinking the results produced by close elections RDDs. So, I thought I'd drop a few recent articles about issues that arise in this space so that folks can have them all in one place. 1/N

🧵 Opinione impopolare e soffertamente illiberale: L’Europa dovrebbe chiudere X e i social di Meta. La loro natura di "piattaforme", su cui chiunque può guadagnare attenzione, ci porta a considerare i social delle infrastrutture neutrali, per certi versi simili a istituzioni. Non lo sono.👇 1/16

Economists love using linear regression to estimate treatment effects — it turns out that there are perils to this method, but also amazing perks Come with me in this 🧵 if you want to learn about our now-published paper "Contamination Bias in Linear Regressions!" 1/ (Twitter rerun!)

Regression is a tool for making comparisons If you don't know / can't easily explain what comparisons you're trying to make, then you don't understand the regression you're running
