Some "overdue" news: my first paper on palm oil, started over a decade ago, was accepted for Christmas and is in print open access at the @JIntlEcon today. It's quite different from earlier versions, and the (excellent) review process improved it a lot. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Stamp duty is a terribly designed tax because it stops people from moving - keeping people in homes they'd rather not live in, and slowing down economic dynamism We can raise equivalent revenue from a proportional property tax & should switch
George Eaton@georgeeaton

Why it’s time to replace Stamp Duty with a proportional property tax. Read @dc_lawrence’s growth manifesto for @ArguablyMag on 22 more ways to escape stagnation. arguably.uk/p/a-growth-man…

Diogo Britto, @DiogoBrittoBr, Alexandre Fonseca @alex_fonseca__, Paolo Pinotti @paolopinotti78, Breno Sampaio @Brenorsampaio, and Lucas Warwar @LucasWarwar have written a very valuable paper on intergenerational mobility in Brazil. The paper makes an important methodological contribution in measuring mobility in light of Brazil's large informal sector. Substantively, deep regional mobility differences are quantified. Great progress on an important understudied context.
The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat)@restatjournal

The income distribution in Brazil is very unequal, and the country has very low intergenerational mobility. Just Accepted new paper by Diogo G. C. Britto, Alexandre Fonseca, Paolo Pinotti, Breno Sampaio, and Lucas Warwar zurl.co/JJcep

Getting crowded, but per requests, added: Gates -- about as progressive as the multilaterals Australia -- less progressive than the US over most of the range, but more so than the EU cc @ryanbedwards

Which aid donors are most progressive, i.e., spend the highest % of their money in the poorest countries? No surprise, but one pattern that jumps out: multilateral funds (World Bank's IDA, Gavi, Global Fund, African Development Bank's ADF) are much more progressive than big bilateral donors.

took Fable longer to reposition the labels than to make the graph. AI is just like us.

This was a fun paper to write! So much to learn about tariff cuts under the GATT and their effects. Also gives a new IV for tariff changes in the 1980s!

Tokyo Round tariff cuts increased U.S. manufacturing imports & pay inequality, particularly among women. Just Accepted new paper by Andrew Greenland @AndrewG_PhD James Lake @jameswesleylake and John Lopresti zurl.co/ALwe5

Extreme poverty worldwide has never been as low as it is today, and it's never fallen as fast as in recent decades. We need more facts and less ideology...
