"Audits of high-income taxpayers are more costly, but the additional revenue raised more than offsets the costs...the returns to marginal audits...exceed the returns to average audits...Deterrence...results in the 12:1 return above the 90th percentile." academic.oup.com/qje/article/...

Time for the last teaching fine tuning, so just finished the material for the practical "how to" of robust Bayesian Asset Pricing: christianjulliard.net/bayesian-fac... Pretty happy about my first crack at R Markdown slides -- I will never show again codes in a different format. 🧪

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

Revised version of our paper with Bo Cowgill and Andrea Prat just out. We document how mergers in the US are followed by large and persistent increases in lobbying activity. Firms with market power also try to gain political power. www.nber.org/papers/w33255

It goes without saying that this is stupid, and I wonder what set it off. Was there a segment on Fox News? But I thought it might be worth a thread explaining what Trump (and, to be fair, some other international leaders) don't get about international money 1/

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
