Treasurer @JEChalmers kicking goals this morning by abolishing 500 nuisance tariffs covering $8.5 billion of trade. Great to be on @abcnews this morning to discuss the impact of these reforms in lowering compliance costs for businesses and lowering prices for consumers #auspol

“Action on climate change is inextricably linked to the financial stability of developing countries.” @ChatibBasri and @AdamJTriggs write for @east_asia_forum: eastasiaforum.org/2023/07/09/fin…

The #CEPARconference panel session on Macroeconomic Risk & Demographic Change is currently underway, with @ANUCrawford's CEPAR Chief Investigator @WarwickMcKibbin and @AdamJTriggs, and @WorldBank's Ayhan Kose

ChatGPT and other AI technologies will help us get out of our current productivity slump, provided we can save it from IP owners trying to tax it to death, privacy advocates trying to shut it down, and uni lecturers trying to ban it, says me

Debate about the adequacy of the JobSeeker payment has reached a crescendo in recent weeks. Today e61 is releasing multiple research notes that intend to inform this debate. 1/11

@SiminskiPeter Thank you! This is really helpful

@AdamJTriggs Super important to have adequate data on this population. HILDA does have sexual identity (currently waves 12, 16 and 20) e.g B15 here melbourneinstitute.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/… and for the fist time wave 22 has gender identity: see F2 here melbourneinstitute.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/…

US data suggests that one fifth of Gen Z adults identify as LGBT. What does this look like in Australia? We have no idea! My article this morning on our inadequate data on the LGBTQIA+ community and it’s dangerous consequences canberratimes.com.au/story/8164303/…

My thoughts on Australia's trade dispute with China. Australia’s faith in global trade rules is paying off as China looks to back away from trade sanctions. afr.com/policy/economy… @ANUCrawford @ANUmedia

@DavidAl61651444 @canberratimes Thank you, David!

My article in the CT this morning, a point I don’t think has been made: that decades of research on poverty in developing countries recommends a focus on improving institutions - exactly what the Voice is recommending here in Australia. #auspol canberratimes.com.au/story/8145551/…

With the Secure Jobs, Better Pay Act set to come into effect in early June, new e61 analysis explores the impact the expansion of multi-employer bargaining could have on firm growth and what @fairwork_gov_au can do to mitigate unintended consequences. 1/12

My hot take on the reforms that will get real wages back up

We link government contract data with a firm level dataset to show that government contracts make competition worse by favouring the old incumbent firms over new productive firms and creating lots of barriers to entry

Turns out Australians have crap attitudes and knowledge when it comes to climate change compared to pretty much every other country, but we can improve attitudes by sequencing reforms properly #auspol

The trade-off between data and privacy is overstated. Its risks are easily managed when data governance is taken seriously write @AdamJTriggs and @DanAndrewsEco canberratimes.com.au/story/8032501/ @E61Institute

Was a great privilege to have UCLA Prof John Asker present his (and co-authors) work on cartels and welfare effects at the first e61 seminar in our new Surry Hills office yesterday. Watch this space for future e61 seminars e61.in/upcoming-events

Lots of people advocating increased pay transparency. Recent research suggests there might be some unintended downsides #auspol
