For six months, I've said that threats to economic data have been more collateral damage than intentional harm.

No longer.

Firing the head of the BLS is five-alarm intentional harm to the integrity of US economic data and the entire statistical system.

More from Max! Economic causes of rising wealth inequality have received widespread attention, but how have demographic shifts influenced this trend? A new WP by Lisa Klein, @pmlersch.bsky.social & @smaexie.bsky.social looks at Germany's changing demographics & wealth inequality.

New Working Paper Alert! Joint work with my amazing co-authors Lisa Klein and @pmlersch.bsky.social! We show how demographic changes contributed to #wealth #inequality in #Germany from 1988 to 2017. #econsky
This was a great collaboration with the brilliant @smaexie.bsky.social and Lisa Klein. We find demographic trends having counterbalancing effects on wealth inequality.

In April, GC-CUNY's Stone Center hosted a 2-day workshop on socio-economic inequality in China. The 20+ presentations were fascinating, covering multiple facets of inequality and assessing a vast array of Chinese & cross-national data sources. @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social @lisdata.bsky.social

April 10th marks 100 years since F. Scott Fitzgerald's #TheGreatGatsby was published, which for me adds a bit of spice to this presentation I will give @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social

The talk will include a bit of biography on how the #GreatGatsbyCurve got its name!

An interesting read on How Americans Feel About Tariffs. I like the clear description of how different framing/response options in the polls change the outcome. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
How Americans Feel About Trump’s Tariffs
Trump loves tariffs. Do Americans? It depends how pollsters ask the question.

The Federal Reserve is not as independent from the executive branch as we’d like to think. The NY Fed just cancelled this Thursday’s @aeacswep.bsky.social reception at #EEA2025 and withdrew from our summer fellowship program. Both support women and underrepresented groups in economics. #EconSky
