Fibra óptica y adolescentes: un impacto silencioso en su salud mental nadaesgratis.es/admin/fibra-... Vía @nadaesgratis.bsky.social #Economía

Why might poverty in childhood increase the risk of subsequent poverty in adulthood? •How does this impact vary across EUcountries? Thanks to Brian Nolan for his lecture, and to discussants Elena Granaglia & Enrica Morlicchio! Also a list of media articles that covered the event:

What are the Trends in Inheritance Across Developed Economies? Why is this important & What are the major drivers? Why has the Progressivity of inheritance tax been declining globally? I have talked about these issues in the Economist (@economist.com) podcast "Money Talks". tinyurl.com/khaekyre

Really a must see/read. The biggest harm (and perhaps the core aim) of Trump policies: tax breaks for the rich and massive cuts in health and food aid for poor American families. This is just what one has to expect from the Trump-admiring European far right. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

30 years after arriving in the US, I just resigned from Northwestern and we sold our house. We are an American family, I became a citizen in 2014, and until recently did not expect to ever leave. But now, this no longer feels like the right place to raise a family and pursue a research career.

📣 CALLING ALL QUANT SOCIAL SCIENTISTS! 📣 Do you know of causally identified research that estimates the effect of higher education on political attitudes? @elizabethsim0n.bsky.social and I are currently working on a meta-analysis on this question and we need your help!

Un gran artículo de @dyebra.bsky.social y @raulsanchezglez.bsky.social con un análisis muy fino sobre la creciente importancia de las herencias. Volvemos al XIX, solo que ahora hay más pequeños rentistas www.eldiario.es/economia/dat...

“Es una vivienda que no deja de subir”, ha insistido.

⚠️ Recordatorio: hace 35 años, el hogar mediano necesitaba los ingresos salariales de 3 años para pagar su vivienda. Hoy, ese esfuerzo supera los 7 años. Pero los jóvenes están peor: necesitan casi 8, y si la vivienda está en zona urbana, 11 años. www.bde.es/f/webbe/GAP/...

More than 80% of countries vote, but less than 40% do so freely and fairly

⚠️ Recordatorio: en los años 80 se construían anualmente unas 100.000 Viviendas de Protección Oficial (VPO). Actualmente son menos de 10.000. De hecho, el peso de las VPO en el total de viviendas construidas pasó de ser el 60% al actual 10%. www.funcas.es/wp-content/u...

Canada & Mexico should put tariffs on US oligarchs If Tesla wants to sell cars in Canada & Mexico then Musk himself, as main shareholder of Tesla, should have to pay tax in Canada & Mexico Put a wealth tax on him, and condition Tesla’s market access to him paying the tax 7/x
