Here are some ways in which the world has gotten better.

Durante décadas, a oferta de casas excedeu a procura, o que ajudou a expandir o parque habitacional do país e moderar o crescimento dos preços. Nos últimos anos a situação inverteu-se e atualmente a procura de casas está bastante acima da oferta (slide 1). O resultado é conhecido: os preços imobiliários têm subido rapidamente, causando graves problemas de acessibilidade à habitação. A solução é só uma: oferta, oferta, oferta. Só assim é que este enorme desequilíbrio entre oferta e procura pode ser resolvido, atenuando a subida vertiginosa dos preços das casas. Neste sentido, tudo o que fizermos para agilizar os licenciamentos e a construção e a reabilitação de casas é bem vindo. Mas há algo mais que podemos fazer: apostar de forma decisiva na habitação social ou na habitação a preços mais acessíveis. Na OCDE, somos dos países com menos habitação social (slide 2). Entre nós, menos de 2% do stock habitacional é habitação social. Em claro contraste, os Países Baixos, a Áustria, o Reino Unido, a França, a Irlanda, a Coreia, a Finlância, entre outros, têm mais de 10% do seu stock imobiliário em habitação social ou a preços mais acessíveis. É fundamental seguirmos as melhores práticas destes países para melhorarmos a acessibilidade da habitação no nosso País.

I study two minimum wage hikes in Portugal: 2014 and 2016. Exploiting the quasi-experimental nature of the policy and leveraging rich administrative linked employer-employee data, I confirm the main predictions of the model. Read the working paper📜: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Honoured that my paper "Internal Organization of Firms and Minimum Wage Spillovers" received the Best Paper Award at the latest @EAYE_econ Annual Meeting! Appreciation photo with EUI friends at King’s College – an amazing venue for a great conference. The paper in a nutshell 👇

Watch out for this brilliant new generation of economists pursuing their PhDs at the EUI! Happy to see co-authors, colleagues, and former students. Thanks @MarleneThomass for organizing it.

More evidence that investing in pre-K has a strong ROI. We've shown that it improves children's life outcomes & saves society $$$. It also boosts parents' pay by keeping them in the workforce, per @john_eric, @ChrisANeilson, @Xiaoyang_Ye & Seth Zimmerman. nber.org/papers/w33038

Why do people vote against environmental policies with large welfare benefits? How can the financing of these policies affect their political viability? This is what Russell Cooper and I study in our work in progress and summarized for the LaFonte Blog 👇
