How much should we reduce income inequality?

For guidance we can look to public sector pay scales, the closest thing we have to a democratically determined distribution. In major institutions like the NHS, universities, etc, salary inequalities rarely exceed a ratio of 5:1.

@US_Dhuga We hear that @BatterseaReview, which you founded as Publisher, did not achieve a next phase of growth” because you refused to repay student workers, refused to pay your bills, and refused to intervene when your editor turned out to be predatory. True? #SafeEditing

@stonefencemag @US_Dhuga @AntipodesLit Umit! Aren’t you a man of means, living in an inherited house in Toronto? Why then are you behaving so horridly over the matter of a bill of only $1,300? The world of literary publishing is small — why do you think you can simply abuse someone else’s trust without consequences?

@US_Dhuga What animates your disreputable refusal to reply to repeated requests to settle your unpaid debate @BatterseaReview? Does your advice as an investor include “rip people off and hope it doesn’t go to court”?

@US_Dhuga @keithfrankish @TheAntigonish @cimarronreview @commonmag @TheHudsonReview @newcriterion @reviewcanada @PN_Review @SouthwestReview @ae_stallings @george_szirtes @ianduhig @MollyPeacock3 @RattleMag Umit, you remain unresponsive to numerous emails regarding the bills you left unpaid for @BatterseaReview. Lots of people are asking @zakbos for details — won’t you reply to his messages and we can close the matter?

Fun story. I came across this short paper in the American Economic Review during my graduate studies. I was working on project delays, contracts and scheduling and was reading anything I could find on the topic. https://t.co/zVg29Visft

I’m also happy to see that no one made @erinhengel add male coauthors to this paper. 🙃

There is the work on "audience costs" (i.e. if leaders fear being punished for not following through on a demand), such as recent papers by @Ccrismancox & @mike_gibilisco in @AJPS_Editor...
