In other words, if resource revenue were to suffer a negative shock (or spending needs a positive shock), to what extent would resource-dependent countries face severe budgetary shortfalls?

Thanks to @UNUWIDER for funding via their #E4D project. (4/4).

Fiscal dependence on extractive revenues.

What's it about?

We've all heard about resource / extractive dependence. In this paper I take a more detailed look at the *fiscal* element of dependence... (1/4)

For countries that collect tax and non tax revenue from extractive resources, I explore to what extent can their *non-resource* revenues cover the day-to-day spending of government. (3/4)

Great thread ⬇️

NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.

American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀

Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

A great couple of days hearing about the latest developments in #taxexpenditures and the introduction of the #GTETI @CEPweb @IDOS_research

[Dani Rodrik @rodrikdani]

This is unfortunately quite true. From any rational, decision-theoretic standpoint, the Economics profession under-invests in imperfectly identified analyses of big/important/relevant questions relative to well-identified but comparatively uninteresting questions.

@kekre_neha @ODI_Global @TheIFS Don’t want to publicly commit to timelines 😂 but I’ll definitely advertise when it’s ready!

Better data on earnings distributions (both formal and informal) in LMICs will go a long way to helping unpack these puzzles.

Check out the dataset for African countries here :

New @ODI_Global #TaxDev Working Paper 🎉

Joint w/ @annalena_oppel & 2nd study from the TaxDev Employment Income Taxes Dataset (EITD). We attempt to better understand the redistributive potential of the personal income tax in African countries https://t.co/dXnAsnldu8 (1/n)

[Kyle McNabb @kylemcnabb]

Anyway, super happy to have this paper out. There's still so much we don't know about how PIT design & reform affects incentives, formalisation, wages, inequality outcomes etc. in LMICs. And there's still so much that we don't measure well: (7/n)
