💸 Payment parity of telehealth visits to in-person appointments was more likely in states with Democratic governors, high vaccination rates among seniors, and CON laws—but less likely in IMLC states.

[Antonios M. Koumpias @KoumpiasAM]

🚦Findings suggest that states with ACA Medicaid expansion, elevated elderly COVID-19 mortality, health centers growth were more likely to enact telehealth waivers, while states with Democratic governors, CON laws, and IMLC made adoption less likely.

Tenured academia is really not "just a job."
- can't be fired.
- get a 5-month summer break.
- complete flexibility on schedule/wfh
- study what interests you
-get paid more than enough to live comfortably.
It's completely rational to work insanely hard to get this!

New, open-access publication at @pbaf_journal with my undergraduate co-author, Stuart DiDonato, on the impact of Florida's 2008 portability provision on county-to-county migration outflows using IRS' SOI Tax Stats. https://t.co/XEUtuxnYnq 🥳

The provision can improve state allocative efficiency and skill-job alignment but may also strain local budgets. States with financially struggling cities where local tax base erosion could jeopardize economic development should implement it with caution. ⚠️

5/ We illustrate an urban–rural digital divide in out-of-state utilization as a share of total or telehealth mental care. Interstate Medical Licensure Compact participation may provide sufficient access to out-of-state tele-mental care, rendering licensure waivers less important.

The Nobel Prize in Economics has been awarded to Claudia Goldin.

Most economists will immediately know why she won. This is a very quick thread, aimed at non-economists, explaining why her work on the the labour market outcomes of women has been awarded the Prize.

So glad to see this work finally out there. Everyone should be able to age in place within the community and with access to the support they need. Thanks to @NIHAging @AARP and @umichmedicine for supporting this work. @UMichNursing @JeffKullgren @PreetiNMalani @KoumpiasAM

Η παππουδοκρατία των ελληνικών πανεπιστημίων. Στην Γερμανία, περιπου το 40% του διδακτικού προσωπικού είναι κάτω των 35 ετών, ενώ στην ΕΕ, ο αντίστοιχος μέσος όρος αγγίζει το 23%. Στην Ελλάδα, αντιθέτως, μόλις το 3,8% των πανεπιστημιακών είναι κάτω των 35.
