@UMich @UMichiganNews Couldn't be prouder of @MeredithPedde for this fantastic research!!

A U-M study found that replacing the nation’s oldest school buses could lead to 1.3 million fewer absences per year by reducing exposure to diesel exhaust fumes, which can exacerbate respiratory illnesses and other conditions. More from @UMichiganNews: myumi.ch/byNV9

@mattkahn1966 My colleague Aditi Thapar and I have some work arguing that traditional methods underestimate public debt's effect on interest rates here: www-personal.umich.edu/~gehrlich/Ehrl… We don't mean it as a commentary on COVID relief, though.

At the 30 minute mark, Paul Krugman cites Olivier Blanchard and his work claiming that the impact of deficits on raising interest rates is tiny. Thus, investment crowding out concerns do not matter. Are macroeconomists debating this claim? nytimes.com/2021/01/29/opi…

Tune in tomorrow for our PF seminar. @gabriel_ehrlich will present on “Public Debt Levels and Real Interest Rates: Causal Evidence from Parliamentary Elections” joint with Aditi Thapar. @WilliamGale2 will discuss! Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

@ozanjaquette Congrats, Ozan!!

There are so many things we can do to triage the economic pain inflected by COVID - the most effective and least costly include minor changes to behavior that dampen but don’t destroy economic activity. They also reduce the fear of public spaces. Masks, tests, tracing.

@ernietedeschi We have some new regression discontinuity evidence suggesting larger effects here: www-personal.umich.edu/~gehrlich/Ehrl… Doesn't change your main conclusion.

Economic research has found that each added point of expected debt-to-GDP adds about 3bp to long rates. So that puts the upward pressure at +30-45bp. Meanwhile the 10Y has fallen by more than 100bp YTD. Deficits aren't a short-term problem. The pandemic is.

@drlisadcook Congratulations, Lisa!

I'm humbled & honored to have been promoted to full professor at #MSU. Immensely grateful to family, friends, colleagues & mentors who supported me along this long journey in economics. It happened earlier this year, but I'm celebrating now. #Onward to the next phase & adventure!
