One week ago, I lost my grand-father. Beyond being the greatest grandpa on earth, he also lived an incredible life. Because I always thought that his story was a fantastic historical lesson related to what I research on, I want to share it. Thread on a European success story

A major driver of tax evasion isn't just the tax rate but the reporting requirements, at least when it comes to wealth taxes. Our newly revised paper finds that how much you have to disclose matters at least as much as how much you owe 🧵 stantcheva.scholars.harvard.… [1/14]

Tax rates deserve the attention they get in the public debate. But what the government asks you to reveal for tax purposes can matter a lot too. Our paper on the French wealth tax shows how powerful information requirements can be. Summary here.👇

Cheap labor and lax labor regulations— not just productivity — shape trade competitiveness, even in the supposedly harmonized EU. Domestic labor and tax policy matter for globalization and how ``fair'' people perceive international competition to be.

"Boomers without Borders" would be an amazing title. h/t @sc_cath
Portugal quadrupled its number of foreign retirees by offering them 10 years of income tax-free retirement.
Some countries (e.g., Finland) responded by taxing pensions at the source. @LevyAntoine @MathildeMunoz

Ce n’est pas seulement que le nombre de départs est très faible, c’est surtout que leur effet économique est négligeable :
“une baisse de 0,05% de l’emploi total et de 0,07 % de l’investissement total” d’après les auteurs :

Il y a un agresseur : la Russie.
Il y a un peuple agressé : l'Ukraine.
Nous avons tous eu raison d'aider l'Ukraine et de sanctionner la Russie il y a trois ans et de continuer à le faire.
Nous, c’est les Américains, les Européens, Canadiens, Japonais et plusieurs autres.
Merci à tous ceux qui ont aidé et continuent. Et respect à ceux qui, depuis le début, se battent. Parce qu'ils se battent pour leur dignité, leur indépendance, pour leurs enfants et pour la sécurité de l'Europe.

Trump’s attack on US institutions, even if fully expected, is dispiriting, discombobulating and dangerous.
In this very difficult time, we have to remember one thing: This is not normal, and it should not be normalized.
If, as I hope, the US democracy survives and (somehow) recovers, then history books will judge those working with Trump and Republican lawmakers in the Senate and Congress enabling him harshly (and so should we). If US democracy does not survive, I don’t know what history books will be like.

New working paper:
"Insuring Landlords", with @_ThomasBezy and Tim McQuade
TLDR: landlords are concerned by rental non-payment risk; and, in turn, insuring them against it improves vulnerable tenants' access to housing in high-opportunity locations!
