”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!

I am excited to announce I am on the #EconJobMarket this year! 🎉 My research explores economic barriers for people with disabilities at the intersection of labor, public, and health economics. My #EconJMP examines how reliable transportation transforms outcomes for this population. 🧵1/6

Utskick från Arbetsdomstolen idag och allt framstår än mer absurt än igår. Jag kan inte komma på någon historisk eller geografisk parallel. Var och när har man egentligen stängt ned domstolar för att det saknas pengar?

Helt otroligt! Arbetsdomstolen stänger ner i tre månader på grund av besparingskrav från! Det här är en av våra främsta kanaler för att utkräva ansvar av arbetslivskriminella bolag. Nu får de frikort i tre månader av regeringen. www.lag-avtal.se/nyheter/ad-t...

We are very excited about the new research opportunities that this VR funding opens up for the department.

What do older workers do when the value of their home falls? For many, home equity is their biggest asset. When housing prices fall, most can’t work more to recover the loss. Instead, they claim Social Security earlier, which can reduce lifetime benefits. #EconSky #housing #socialsecurity

Att politiker vinklar statistik till sin fördel är en sak. Att blåljuga i syfte att svartmåla en stor grupp människor, peka arbetslösa som lata samtidigt som man passivt låter arbetslösheten skena, det är vidrigt. www.svt.se/nyheter/inri...

Det här är nog det som förskräcker mig mest med högern i dag, att de så totalt gått in i postsanningspolitiken. De nya åsikterna om invandring och rättsstat går nog att byta tillbaka så småningom, men hur kommer man tillbaka från att ha omfamnat lögnen som politisk metod? www.dn.se/ledare/amand...

this is not quite an anti-trust tragedy but it's certainly some kind of capital market regulation problem if people can buy assets that provide huge public goods specifically in order to destroy the public good provision
