One particular problem: the president has the ability to offer tariff exemptions for specific firms. This creates an obvious possibility for corrupt policymaking, rewarding friends and punishing enemies. This isn't theory: it actually happened under Trump 1.0 5/ www2.lehigh.edu/news/politic...

Hi #EconSky! I’m a PhD Candidate in Economics at Uppsala University. My #EconJMP investigates how firms’ previous employment experience in a particular occupation affects hiring standards, wages, and post-hiring outcomes. Find out more about my research here: sites.google.com/view/dogangu...

A quite fascinating aspect of the Swedish collective wage bargaining system is that unions, employer associations and their respective confederations, invest a lot in producing their own knowledge about the state and development of the economy. As it turns out, they do it quite well. t.co/1v1YUuOWPx
