The equity and efficiency of US states' Unemployment Insurance systems could be improved by raising taxable wage bases, from @markduggan_econ, Jonathan Gruber, and @amguoo https://t.co/NUCKZWWit0
@wwwojtekk And because COVID claims were forgiven there's not even a way for CA to raise these funds through experience rating! Should have used ARPA funds to repay their UI debt, which many other states did to repay their loans...
@jm0rt@besttrousers@RyanRadia@kpomerleau Yep, incidence on wages is less likely with employer-specific taxes (which UI is), although my research has found that tax hikes still affect workers through lower employment
Honored to receive an #ECRA for work in progress with @WallskogMelanie studying the impacts of new employer payroll taxes. And congratulations to all the other recipients!

Got a scam/spam text today from someone impersonating my dept chair. Now that's a new one...
Referring to me (and themselves) as Professor was what gave it away😂
