I'm thrilled that David Van Dijcke (@packlesshepherd) and Francesco Ruggieri (@_FRuggieri) will be joining @UVAEcon this fall.
You may know their work! David's JMP extends RDD to distributional outcomes. Francesco's quantifies the effects of taxes for *all* local US governments.
@TradeDiversion Francesco Ruggieri (UChicago) - Overlapping Jurisdictions and the Provision of Local Public Goods in U.S. Metropolitan Areas - https://t.co/W5MQ0AJVtC
What happens when overlapping jurisdictions tax the same homes? @_FRuggieri's JMP uses new data on all U.S. local governments to estimate fiscal spillovers and proposes symmetric transfers to internalize them.

I am on the job market!
Under policies of "stepped-up basis", many countries exempt inherited assets from previously-accumulated capital gains tax liability. My paper w/ @OleAndreasNaess examines how this type of policy distorts sales, inheritances, and overall tax collections.
Federico's JMP shows that fiscal reforms have a large impact on capital flows across financial institutions, which in turn affect investment fees, and asset prices. However, benefits are unevenly shared, as wealthier households are substantially more responsive to tax incentives.
Calling all Graduate students! We (Magne and Torgo leading) are hosting a causal inference conference this March--fully funded!
Experimentalists--would love to see students interested in controlling the assignment mechanism showcasing their work here.

Congratulations to @UChicago Instructors and Grad Students honored for their exemplary teaching in the College, including our department's own @_FRuggieri! Read about his unique teaching approach: https://t.co/Q2CDuJkcVV
@PriceTheorist@hhaishili Having that door installed was a major diplomatic achievement. It required extensive negotiations with administrators and engineers. Ultimately, a joint effort with my valuable French ally @LeoAparisidL was successful.

Who benefits from congestion policy?
I estimate the full value of time distribution of drivers in a large US city
Express Lanes are welfare-reducing: high-VOT drivers benefits don’t compensate others of extra traffic
