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

[Audrey Guo @amguoo]

@wwwojtekk At this point we need a federal mandate to raise state taxable wage bases for UI taxes (current 7k minimum hasn't changed since 1983)

[Audrey Guo @amguoo]

@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...

"Payroll tax incidence: Evidence from unemployment insurance"

@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

[Audrey Guo @amguoo]

@besttrousers @p_ganong Yep, https://t.co/n0VvcpG0O1

If #UI is of interest, be sure to tune in for: "Would broadening the UI tax base benefit low-income workers?" Joined by @SantaClaraUniv's @amguoo and @ucmerced's @datacrat, we and three other author groups will dive into this question + more: https://t.co/k26CL2DMvR (Tweet 5/6)

@ChloeEast2 It's much better defined in the 2014 and later panels, but for the earlier panels I've used epropb1 and epropb2!

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😂

In the latest issue of JPAM: "To Work for Yourself, for Others, or Not at All? How Disability Benefits Affect the Employment Decisions of Older Veterans" by @ccoile, @markduggan_econ, & @amguoo. https://t.co/DBSu8tVRL6

[Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research @SIEPR]

Important benefit programs for veterans have gone largely unchanged for a century. SIEPR's Mark Duggan and David Chan team up with @amguoo to propose fixes that @DenisMcDonough and @DeptVetAffairs can make to improve the lives of American veterans. https://t.co/sH3akf4Uxh

🚨How do you reduce health spending?🚨
We are launching a new project - ‘1% Steps for Health Care Reform’. We're working with leading health policy scholars and the goal is harness research to illustrate tangible steps to reduce health care spending.

[Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research @SIEPR]

As the Senate considers @DenisMcDonough for VA secretary, SIEPR Director Mark Duggan and @amguoo suggest reforms to the agency's $243 billion program for veterans with service-connected disabilities. https://t.co/Y0YVT6AIba
