Interesting thread -> France a tax haven for the very wealthy !! I'd like to see a paper on the correlation between vote share of the extreme right and effective income tax rates at the top.

Someone should explain to the MAGA crowd that tariffs on imports is equivalent to imposing economic sanctions (like the ones imposed on Russia) to their own citizens. Self-inflicted economic warfare...
Last month CBO estimated the costs of 10 percent tariffs. But now Trump is saying 25. Should you just multiply by 2.5?

No. Basic economics says the loss from tariffs is nonlinear, to a first approximation the square of the tariff rate. So what Trump has promised is SIX TIMES WORSE than CBO analyzed

read this if you want to understand how lively and alive econ theory research is, and also super important for public policy! Well done @shengwuli.bsky.social and @lugaricano.bsky.social for the engaging discussion.
The LA wildfires have given landlords an opportunity to raise rents. California has anti-price-gouging regulation that might prevent that.

If you want to step beyond Econ 101, here’s a recent Econometrica paper that shows how price caps can raise welfare.

Congrats to Gukesh. I can’t believe he won from a dead draw position. Really feel for Ding - horrible way to lose.

interesting thread on the digital euro proposal
The ECB is handicapping its digital euro project (strict holding limits, no interest payments, and mandatory bank account links) in order to protect the current broken, inefficient, subsidized banking system.
Do we need banks?

If inventing NK models was like inventing the wheel, is this the HANK model? Asking for a friend :)
So we would have been fine eventually even if we had not invented wheels.

Paul Krugman @pkrugman.bsky.social still writes beautifully well about economics... "there’s nothing magical about collecting a sales tax at the border rather than at the cash register." www.nytimes.com/2024/10/17/o...
