Democracies and economies depend on accurate, thoroughly reported and unbiased information to function. We are concerned that our economies are increasingly vulnerable to information that is neither independent nor accurate. Please read our open letter if you have a minute buff.ly/RYO8imy

When global rules leave some countries unable to protect their populations from current or future pandemics, that does not only endanger people in those countries, it endangers people in all countries.

A pleasure, @benphillips76.bsky.social.

An urgent matter.

Pandemics thrive where inequalities persist. As co-chair of the Global Council on Inequality, AIDS & Pandemics, I join @monicageingos.bsky.social, @michaelmarmot.bsky.social & Winnie Byanyima ahead of #UNGA to urge leaders to drop debt, expand social protection, and ensure access to medicines

Proposed cuts to NIH and NSF threaten to shut down labs, end promising clinical trials, and stall the progress that millions of families are counting on. Listen to Gwen. #sciencesavedme www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-HT...

I had a good talk with Mónica Rincón of @cnnchile.bsky.social back in July www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Kf...

Science has saved countless lives and will save many more if we let it. But proposed cuts to NIH and NSF threaten to shut down labs and end promising clinical trials. Now is the moment to act. Congress must protect and restore funding for medical research: tinyurl.com/24p2n4fc

We express our strong support for Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook and for the longstanding principle of central bank independence. Good economic policy requires credible monetary institutions, and they in turn require the independence of the Fed tatyanaderyugina.github.io/fed-open-let...

Thank you, @financialtimes.com, for this article that mentions our Jubilee Report on sovereign debt, and covers such an important issue. www.ft.com/content/4bc5...

"The recent Jubilee Report on global sovereign debt, chaired by famed economist @josephestiglitz.bsky.social was a sobering read. Over 750mn people in Africa, it said, live in countries that spend more on debt servicing than on education or healthcare." Read @financialtimes.com latest piece.

We had a wonderful time.

Thank you, @velshi.com, for having me on your show to talk about BLS, the Fed and the economy.

Disinformation spreads rapidly these days so it's important to get the facts right: I've never been paid by any Argentine government.

I, along with many economists who have served in federal govt, signed this letter to Senate and House cmte chairs highlighting the importance of modernizing our economic data. The quality of our data is currently headed in the wrong direction. We need to right this ship. eig.org/bipartisan-c...
