I'm very proud of this interview in the @oiginstitute.bsky.social magazine. I think it does a good job of capturing what I do and how it all fits together. Stay tuned for the book I mention there - coming next year! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Good thread and article. One factor it doesn't mention is that survey response rates have fallen a lot. The CPS (households) has gone from near 90% to <70%; the CES (estabs) from 60%+ to 42%; the JOLTS is in the low 30s. That hurts reliability and increases revisions. https://www.bls.gov/osmr/response-rates/ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

This is the exact Laffer move: Step 1: You accept in principle of course that there is a revenue maximizing tax rate t*, and further increases beyond that would reduce revenue. Step 2: Let's assume, with 0 evidence, that your proposed t is above t*. Step 3: Ergo, your proposed t is too high. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Agree. In addition (changing the subject), I really like the concept of “clarity trap.” It might be the best summary I’ve seen of what is wrong with Econ 101ism. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
