Da jeg var finansbyråd 2019-2023 "kommunaliserte" vi private sjukehjem i Oslo. Jeg var da noe skeptisk, men det var endel av byrådsavtalen. Erfaringen? Kostnaden med privat og offentlig var den samme- med ett unntak. Ved overgang til kommunen fikk ansatte bedre lønn og pensjonsvilkår.

Otroligt bra protestsång av Springsteen! Och låten har en sugande melodi som antagligen också många republikaner kommer att gilla… Den finns på Spotify.

Har fått in ett nytt ärende och vill dela siffran fem med er. Fem kronor brutto är nämligen lönen för den som flyttar en elsparkcykel från Voi till närmaste parkering. Arbetstiderna 23.00-8.00, sex nätter i veckan. Ingen OB, ingen övertid, ingen sjuklön, ingen semesterlön. Bara fem kronor brutto.

Det här blir verkligen bara dummare och dummare.

If no one is doing a resume audit study at DHS, I am disappointed in us. #EconSky

Something I want to be very clear about. The tightness fueled reduction in wage inequality is a limited affair - it's mainly about raising wages in the bottom half of the pay distribution, mostly in the bottom 1/3. It doesn't solve all our inequality problems, especially top concentration.

”Vi finner inga bevis för genomsnittliga produktivitetsökningar i svenska företag. I stället verkar många förvärv vara händelser som präglas av uppsägningar och lönesänkningar, där pengar omfördelas från arbetstagare till aktieägare och chefer.”

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US This view is wrong A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

In Sweden, corporate acquisitions lead to persistent earnings losses for workers. Wages fall, some workers are displaced, and the gains largely go to acquiring CEOs and shareholders. Employment and revenue stay flat. Profit rises because value is extracted from workers.

Alex Schulman blir ett vrak som förälder i svensk skola. Förstår honom och försöker förklara varför: ökade krav på elevers analytiska förmåga, mindre lärartid för varje elev och att elever förväntas lära sig mer själva. ”Effektivisering” kallar dom det. www.dn.se/kultur/marcu...

I'm on the #EconJobMarket! I study how policies and childhood environments shape outcomes of low-income & vulnerable kids. In my JMP, I study the effects of allowing youth who would have aged out of foster care at 18 to stay until 21—offering support their peers not in foster care get from parents.

I'm John Fallon, a labor economist on the job market. My JMP uncovers something wild: when chiropractors got licensed in the early 1900s, medical boards responded by making it HARDER to become a doctor. Why would competition lead to stricter regulations? 🧵 john-fallon-econ.com (1/9)

🚀 I'm on the #EconSky Job Market! My JMP asks a classic question: Do large, dominant firms foster or hinder innovation? To study this, I turn to the Great Merger Wave (1895–1904), when >2,600 U.S. firms combined into corporate giants like U.S. Steel and DuPont. A JMP 🧵👇 (1/13)

There is growing recognition of regional inequality in poverty calculations. However, incorporating such adjustments in multi-tier segmented programs is difficult: cross-selection + fiscal externalities. My #JMP considers whether or not it makes sense to do so in health insurance programs!
