As a university professor, I rarely hear from students after the final exam. However, there are always a handful of students who will send personal notes or emails after the semester is over. These mean more to me than you could possibly imagine.
Students, if you enjoy the class, let the teacher know. They truly love hearing it.

@annastansbury @RossMckenzie11 @HugoGye So I would not expect the 4.5g threshold to create much revenue. Some additional revenue will come from inflation-linkage of rates for brands that have not reformulated (Coke, Monster, Red Bull).
English
@annastansbury @RossMckenzie11 Just to note, many big brands already sit below the new 4.5g threshold in order to comply with high fat, salt, and sugar (HFSS) regulation that limits promotions/advertising for soft drinks with higher sugar content.

Any economics papers on the effects of the UK sugar tax on soft drinks?
Hugo Gye@HugoGye
The only major brand to have stood firm in the face of the original sugar tax was Coca-Cola. Have they seen a big decline in sales since 2018?

I’ve started an ongoing project to collect all the datasets which economists can use, all in one place, organized by topic. Started with 50, further suggestions are extremely welcome. It will grow considerably.

"Does this effectively reduce reoffending, or could resources be better spent? We don’t really know. I will take a hard look at the data to provide an answer."
Dr Markus Gehrsitz explores if offender supervision and license conditions reduce reoffending.

Very excited to be a recipient of an @adr_uk fellowship and to start working with amazing new admin data in the criminal justice space.
More info about the project and data below 👇
ADR UK@adr_uk
The first two users of the linked criminal justice data in this dataset are two ADR UK Research Fellows who recently began their projects. They are exploring ethnic inequalities, reoffending and offender rehabilitation. adruk.org/our-work/brows…

@jburnmurdoch Fascinating analysis! Would you be able to share the replication files for your charts @LSEDataScience?

To spell out what means:
In 1997, graduates in the UK earned almost 50% more per hour than non-graduates. Today, that’s down to a bit less than 40% more.
Having a degree brings back smaller rewards in the job market than it used to.
English
NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.
American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀
Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

Aber bitte nur wenn gut designed. Hier ein Thread, warum die 🇬🇧Softdrinks-Steuer funktioniert hat - und was 🇩🇪 lernen kann:
twitter.com/MGehrsitz/stat…
SPD-Fraktion im Bundestag@spdbt
Der Zuckergehalt in Softdrinks sank in 🇬🇧 in den vergangenen 6 Jahren um 30%, in 🇩🇪 jedoch nur um 2% . 🤔 Was läuft da anders? Bei uns gibt es bislang nur eine freiwillige Selbstverpflichtungen der Industrie. Wir finden: Es reicht! Eine Herstellerabgabe muss her!
Deutsch
Die Diskussion um den Sinn und Unsinn von Zuckersteuern scheint in 🇩🇪 jetzt auch so langsam kommen. @cem_oezdemir und Co, bitte von 🇬🇧 lernen, die ganze Studie gibt's hier:
docs.iza.org/dp14528.pdf
Deutsch
Policy lesson 2: Weltweit war in puncto Kalorienreduktion keine Softdrink-Steuer so erfolgreich wie die in UK. Eine gestaffelte Steuer mit klar definiertem Zuckerlevel, an dem die Steuer von Herstellern vermieden werden kann, lässt die Kalorien nur so dahinschmelzen!
Deutsch
@JoPennekamp schreibt heute im @faznet Sonntagsökonom zu unserer Studie zur britischen Softdrink-Steuer. Ein kurzer 🧵, warum die Steuer so erfolgreich war (spoiler: nicht durch Verbote oder Konsumreduktion!).

Sollte der Staat etwas gegen unsere ungesunden Ernährungsgewohnheiten machen? Und wenn ja, was? (P.S.: Eine Tüte Chips beim Schreiben dieses Artikels für die F.A.S. vertilgt…) @MGehrsitz @faznet @cem_oezdemir
