When firms aren’t allowed to hire low-skill foreign workers, they don’t hire more Americans. They produce less, invest less, and shrink, with the sharpest effects in rural areas, say researchers at @jhu.edu and @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/imm...

Winning the visa lottery

Evidence from a US government lottery shows that restricting foreign low-skill workers shrinks businesses without creating jobs for Americans.

Here,👇we show that enshittification arises if platforms receive a share of seller revenue. Sellers care about rents and rents go down if buyers receive many good offers. The more efficient web search is, the stronger the incentives of platforms are to recommend less what the buyer is looking for.

Economic outcomes often depend on the distribution of some maximum value (e.g. the highest valuation, best idea, or lowest cost). If the average number of options is large, do such outcomes change when some agents have more options than others? 1/ A thread about this paper 🧵

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Trump’s claim that this is just temporary pain and that the stock market is going to boom is silly. Markets are forward looking and if investors would have believed Trump’s claim , stock prices would not fall now.

In publicly dismissing Zelensky as a negotiator who "has no cards," our POTUS has deliberately acted to undermine confidence in the elected President of Ukraine, and in doing so could do more to undermine democracy in Ukraine than 1000 Russian missiles. How can this serve US interests?
