Harun Alp presents a novel model of innovation and firm dynamics with occupational choice: transformative entrepreneurs who hire ≥1 R&D worker differ sharply from those who don’t. The framework helps evaluate how education, startup, & R&D policies affect talent allocation.

@marek-ignaszak.bsky.social shows that similar patterns could arise under extreme financial frictions with two types of entrepreneurs: rich vs poor parents. Using IQ data can help distinguish whether transformative talent, rather than family background, drives differential growth.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Polecam moją polemikę z Michałem Brzezińskim na temat optymalnego systemu opodatkowania pracy. Moja teza jest taka, że koszty krańcowych stóp podatkowych są obecnie wyższe niż kiedyś.

Co z nierównościami? Płaskie podatki + transfery.

Trying something new:
A 🧵 on a topic I find many students struggle with: "why do their 📊 look more professional than my 📊?"

It's *lots* of tiny decisions that aren't the defaults in many libraries, so let's break down 1 simple graph by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social

Fascinating to read with the benefit of hindsight the debate between Blanchard-Domash-Summers and Figura-Waller.
