Same question, but for those of us who are in non-Phd granting econ departments. Where do we go and how do we fund it (besides our own savings)? #EconTwitter

Pleased to open this @WBG_Poverty and @CEQinstitute workshop to discuss frontier innovations in measuring the impacts of fiscal policy.

How governments raise and spend resources have important implications for #poverty and #inequality and the CEQ model has become a key analytical tool that has enabled us to engage in evidence-based dialogue on these topics.

Looking forward to two days of engaging discussion.

Studying economics in college can boost annual early-career wages by $22,000 compared to other social sciences, according to @zbleemer of @OppInsights. We asked him about why economics has such a high earnings premium. #ResearchHighlight https://t.co/u5K3AEJaKo

@douglasharris99 @marcfbellemare @Tulane Thanks a lot Doug. I would not have been here without your generous support. Grad students at Tulane are really lucky to have you as their department chair.

[Ali Enami, Ph.D. @Ali_Enami]

Finished listening to @marcfbellemare's great book during my daily workout. Can't thank @Tulane's Econ Dept (currently under the leadership of @douglasharris99) enough for covering ~95% of its content, "the hidden econ curriculum", years ago. #EconTwitter

We fund our simulated #UBI programs 1st by using the resources of other transfer programs (i.e., we assume those programs are just cancelled). We also assume people won't stop working once they get a UBI or when they are taxed at a higher rate! (2/2) https://t.co/oMHTBWGWYB

[Ali Enami, Ph.D. @Ali_Enami]

We attempt to answer this Q in our paper (see the next tweet for the link): how much #taxes need to rise to fund a #UBI program? We find that for a generous UBI program, taxes need to go up by a lot. We even use the most no-new-tax approach to fund UBI 1st...(1/2) #EconTwitter

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

For the n to the nth time, the cost of universal basic income is not as simple as multiplying the amount of UBI by the number of its recipients. Here's how to calculate the actual cost of a cash benefit that's paired with a tax increase. It's math time...
