1/8 🚨 New paper alert!: "Consumption Responses to a Major Minimum Wage Increase: Evidence from Spain" (w/ @nacho2g.bsky.social & Hector Sala). We study how a historic 22.3% minimum wage (MW) rise affected household spending. Key findings below!

My second in a two-part series on the perils of the GOP tax bill. Last week's explained how the bill is exactly wrong for the economic moment of higher prices and potential recession. This week's focuses on the Medicaid and SNAP cuts. 1/ www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Assistance to the poor should be seen less as spending on people and more as investment in people.

Saying hi to this new site by sharing my last ASR pub, w amazing colab @imarinescu.bsky.social! We show that privatized childcare services play a direct role creating family income inequality in the US, bc unaffordable childcare hurts lower income families most doi.org/10.1177/0003...
