Any economists out there who might be interested in writing about choosing a childfree life? I'm editing an upcoming CSWEP newsletter on fertility choices and hoping to include this perspective. Shoot me a message if you might be my person!

New macroeconomic analysis from the Dallas Fed:
Mass deportation will reduce US GDP growth by 0.89 percentage points this year and 1.49 percentage points by 2027
It doesn't have to be this way. The choice isn't border chaos or vast militarized raids. The third option: lawful channels for migration

As the Dallas Fed report shows, reducing #immigration will hurt the economy. We should continue to add workers to our labor force through immigration — it is a winning strategy to stabilize and expand our workforce, boost economic growth, and bolster American competitiveness.

An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.
Reporter: You said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza but after a fact-check apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique meant to protect them against HIV.

8. It is difficult to overstate what a catastrophe this will be for the US research and education systems, particular in biomedical fields.
It is deliberate and wanton devastation entirely out of scale with any concern about DEI activities on campuses.
