Is Economics self-correcting? We have a new discussion paper, joint with N Fiala & @flneubauer. Quick answer is: No, rather not. We reviewed all replications published as comments in the AER. Plus, we surveyed the authors. A short thread 1/. https://t.co/TdFOM0Su4W #EconTwitter

At HMRC Stakeholder Conference. Absolutely packed, showing strong desire to provide input to HMRC. A pity FST cannot be present in person to interact with stakeholders ( she is pre- recorded).

Five big flaws in the UK tax system, and how to fix them: https://t.co/v3WeqZeSLr

Many thanks to the Sunday Times for giving so much space to nerdy-but-important tax policy.

[Judith Freedman @JudithFreedman]

But empirical work @OxfordTax by @Ben_Lockwood_57 Li Liu and others supports this view and has caused rethink. Let us hope that rethink makes an impression on policy makers.Freezing the threshold in then UK is a start. Don’t think variable rate would be acceptable.2/2

📢We commissioned some polling on attitudes to standards in public life with @JLPartnersPolls. Top line: people across the political spectrum really want a better system.
