@myklebest We formalize this through a model of productive inclusion used to evaluate welfare.
Our MVPF analysis suggests that, once the fiscal savings from improved health are included, the reform may pay for itself. 3/3

@myklebest Health effects are large: hospitalization fell by 8% and mortality fell by 14%, roughly 1,000 lives saved.
These patterns suggest that for very poor households, cash can do more than insure consumption: it can improve health and expand the ability to work. 2/3

🚨New NBER WP (with @myklebest and Valdemar Neto). We study a quasi-experimental expansion of the world’s largest cash transfer program for the extreme poor.
A striking result: extra cash increased employment by about 5%, rather than reducing it. It also improved health. 1/3

"Common ownership grew dramatically in the US economy from 1995 to 2021. It could raise producer profits at the expense of consumer surplus and lead to a substantial deadweight loss." Recently accepted paper from @florianederer & @BPellegrino_CBS: restud.com/a-tale-of-two-…

As AI creates productivity and surplus, how the gains will be shared depends crucially on competition. Both AI (tech) and data (inputs required to run AI) are a source of advantage. This paper explores their interaction - worth a read! #AI #EconTwitter
SSRN@SSRN
Is it #AI or #data that drives market power? This study explores firm dominance in the tech-driven economy, focusing on whether #market power stems from computing capabilities, data access, or their interaction. Read: spkl.io/6014fftuK Subscribe: spkl.io/6019fftuP

I am delighted to announce that my student @asil_aslihan will join Duke Law School this summer.
Asli has several terrific papers at the intersection of law and economics and her job market paper is a timely analysis of the pro-competitive effects of the Robinson-Patman Act.
