A noncompete by any other name is still a noncompete - thank you @LipstickEcon and @equitablegrowth for the opportunity to contribute a working paper and a column on the language I found in franchise documents.
🚨 New @equitablegrowth working paper on #noncompetes by @PNorlander! 🚨 https://t.co/NBc1LcqNse
And translational writeup: https://t.co/aMTOPkMIwu
Check it out, especially if you are writing a comment letter to the @FTC on their proposed rulemaking! 1/6
Opinion: Congress should make H-1B visas portable by ending employer "hiring taxes" and having them make payments to the Treasury Department through payroll. https://t.co/nqBIoepZeF
5/ Impaired BLS data cannot be reliably compensated for in the private sector. As @PNorlander writes, innovative approaches exist, but private data relies on public reports for substantiation, meaning even proprietary numbers are tied to BLS reporting. https://t.co/nFADkz3CiO
"Which journals have a fast turnaround time?" is a frequent question in academia. Most of the time, people answer based on anecdotes (or grudges). My lab at Cornell decided to build a Chrome plugin, what we are calling Coauthor, to crowdsource an answer: https://t.co/CPPRCQszgp

Hi, #Econtwitter#EconX- I'm interested in putting together a session for LERA for next year's ASSAs on the topics of labor market monopsony, discrimination, or competition (really broadly defined). Let me know if you are interested in teaming up!
Excited to launch applications for @LoyolaChicago's first-ever Side Hustle Showcase, celebrating our students' innovative & entrepreneurial endeavors.
Hosted by @LoyolaQuinlan's @LUC_Ignite_Lab

Law review editors: I’m looking for a journal to publish this lecture on misclassification as a potential unfair method of competition. It’s 2nd in a series on labor/antitrust. The 1st will run in the Antitrust Law Journal; 3rd will run in Loyola’s symposium. If interested, lmk.
Paper 2 - A chapter on growing instability & state-level divergence of labor policy in the U.S. It used to be just the NLRB that oscillated, now the whole field, & gaps are widening - this is bad for workers and firms that try to play by the rules. https://t.co/vbyRDFUHBq
Thread: Employee/ independent contractor classification is a fundamental issue for workers, with implications for taxes, social welfare, wages and working conditions. Two research papers inform my comments quoted in the WSJ.
Prof. @PNorlander was featured in the @wsj, where he discussed the Biden administration's new rule intended to put more contractors on company payrolls.
“Pretty soon you’re going to have a test case,” he said. More: https://t.co/QGPw8Ub86v
It was a great project that couldn’t have been done w/o amazing students & colleagues @LUCQuinlan. We paid for RA trips, and were at airport waiting lots to interview drivers. We gathered historical, qualitative, quantitative survey, & randomized survey data.
🚨🚨I am super excited to share my JMP coauthored with the awesome @annastansbury & @ALPWillen: How Do Firms Respond to Unions? We do a deep dive into how firms respond when unionization increases in that firm. 🧵 #EconTwitter

#ASSA2024: Very excited to chair this session on “How Do Firms Respond To Unions” Sunday 1-3pm.
