Rendez-vous dimanche à #WeLoveGreen !

ah these countries where the head of state and oligarchs spend their time self-dealing or fighting for contracts, laws, and everything always revolves around this ... couldn't happen here, fortunately

Imagine if Latin American countries acted as one and said: "Our billionaires must pay their fair share" That's how global change starts So great to take part in the event hosted by @icrict.bsky.social Rumbo Colective & Oxfam at the Chilean Congress Library today—thanks for having me!

💥 “It sounds like we should tax billionaires…” A 2% minimum tax on the ultra-rich is the punchline with a plan: make them pay what ordinary people already do. With growing global momentum, this is no longer just theory. Read: www.ft.com/content/859e...

Zucman and co were proven exactly right—extreme wealth inequality makes democracy and the rule of law untenable. A global wealth tax is probably the most pro-democracy policy out there. www.ft.com/content/859e...

Quelle est l'ampleur de l'exil fiscal? Cette excellente vidéo de l'économiste Segal Le Guern Herry, récompensée par la Cité de l'économie, passe en revue la littérature sur le sujet Avec une conclusion très claire: exil pas nul, mais très faible www.youtube.com/watch?v=moTz...

WP by @nmoreaukastler.bsky.social on how to estimate proportional treatment effects with staggered timing using PPML. 🔹TWFE PPML can be biased with treatment heterogeneity & staggered adoption. 🔹Proposing a counterfactual method to recover the correct % change. www.taxobservatory.eu/publication/...

1/ 📉 Multinational companies in the EU are paying less tax now than they did a decade ago. But why? Our new policy note reveals that the average effective tax rate of MNEs in the EU dropped 2.7 percentage points from 2014 to 2022. 🔎 For more insights: www.taxobservatory.eu/publication/...

S'il y a référendum sur les finances publiques, il faudrait consulter les Français sur l'introduction d'un taux plancher d'imposition des ultra-riches (= possédant plus de 100 millions) Avec un taux de 2 %, c'est 20 milliards d'€/an 3%= 30 milliards / an www.lemonde.fr/politique/ar...

The total gutting of the IRS will have one main consequence: a surge in tax evasion by the wealthy Working-class and middle-class individuals don't evade a lot, because they can't High-income individuals do, because they can & because an industry helps them do it

C’est la petite musique qui monte : en ces temps de disette budgétaire il n’y aurait pas grand-chose à récupérer en s’attaquant à la fraude fiscale ; l’argent se trouverait plutôt du côté de la fraude sociale. Malheureusement cela ne repose sur rien. Petit état des savoirs sur le sujet 🧵

Come work with us!

Pour réaliser 40 milliards d’économie, le plus logique serait de commencer par fermer la niche fiscale « milliardaires » qui leur payer de payer 0 impôt sur le revenu ou presque, et qui a elle seule coûte de l’ordre de 20 milliards par an www.alternatives-economiques.fr/gabriel-zucm...

Make no mistake: the tariffs are not transactional, they are meant to generate $ Trump believes the income tax was a mistake (invented "for reasons unknown to mankind", he said yesterday) and wants to replace it with tariffs It's a coherent (if crazy) ideology. Better to act accordingly

The tariffs are mad; but what’s equally mad is that they somehow come as a surprise, when Trump has campaigned non-stop on this and controls all branches of government Precious time has been lost, but it’s not too late for countries to mount an effective response 1/x

Once again, I must stress that there is a pretty obvious answer to this madness, which is to have a big, fat tariff on US oligarchs and their multinationals! gabrielzucman.substack.com/p/americas-o...

To properly honor Liberation Day, let me repost this text on the brilliance of Dear Leader's Tariffs Other countries are utterly powerless. They cannot do anything, and should absolutely not consider this course of action! gabrielzucman.substack.com/p/americas-o...
