@annastansbury @thomasforth Is there data on capital investment by region? It seems that the most basic macro explanation for a decrease in the graduate premium would be a (relative) decrease in the capital stock if capital and skill are complements.
English
CRUCIAL to emphasize that the UK's declining graduate wage premium is a non-London story. In London it's held up.
If we want to diagnose why the UK looks like such an outlier in international perspective, it's the non-London story we have to focus on

John Burn-Murdoch@jburnmurdoch
The real sign British education has failed is the number of people responding to this chart with "that’s what happens when too many people go to university" HE has expanded in all of these countries, and in every one apart from UK that didn’t erode the graduate earnings premium.

@SAshworthHayes @jamesrbuk @ciphergoth Have some second-hand experience of working in the NHS and hear similar things all the time. It seems the main issues are 1) bureaucrat quality and 2) bad incentives. Example of 2) is hospital funding tied to A&E wait times, causing managers to re-allocate staff away from wards.

@KateAndrs @SpecCoffeeHouse "Inflation rose 2.2 per cent..." in the first sentence is very imprecise at best. The price level (as measured by the CPI) rose by 2.2 per cent, which means inflation (the price level's growth rate) didn't rise but stayed the same.
English
The better the data, the harder it will be to sell the idea next month that the economy is on its knees...
On the latest inflation update.

@BenChu_ I just checked the report, and the OBR itself assumes an income elasticity of demand for health of around 0.8 based on recent evidence. That means that the income effect leads to an increase in health spending in absolute terms, but a decrease in its share of GDP.
English
@BenChu_ But surely for this income effect to increase health spending *as a percentage of GDP*, which is what the original graph was about, health consumption would have to increase more than one-to-one with income. Is there evidence for this?
English
This is probably the most important projection in the latest UK fiscal risks report from the Office for Budget Responsibility.
It shows health spending rising by around 1% of GDP every decade...🧵1/8 obr.uk/frs/fiscal-ris…
