2 years after the passing of our beloved Alberto Alesina, we were once again reminded how admired, respected, and loved he is. It was wonderful to see so many of his co-authors, friends & students at the conference and ceremony at @Unibocconi We all miss him deeply.

Major future economic challenges: report by a commission of 24 economists on tackling climate change, aging, inequality & more @rodrikdani & I wrote part on Inequality and Insecurity. @voxeu column by @ojblanchard1 & @JeanTirole summarizes some conclusions https://t.co/pWoIFhtZSH

People have very stark misperceptions about immigrants. Simply making them think about immigrants reduces their support for progressive policies. Extremely happy to see this long-standing project with @ArmMiano and our beloved Alberto finally in print in @RevEconStudies

What are people's main concerns about taxes? In @voxeu column with @bea_ferrario we discuss open-ended survey questions to elicit people's first-order concerns. Summary thread here: https://t.co/kxxVIzPZuF

[Stefanie Stantcheva @S_Stantcheva]

What are people's main concerns about taxes? In new paper w @bea_ferrario we provide answers and discuss new methods. We show how to design & analyze open-ended survey questions to elicit people's first-order concerns on issues. Thread ⬇️ https://t.co/ZL08yeB0T6 1/N

[Stefanie Stantcheva @S_Stantcheva]

How can we elicit people's first-order concerns about policies? One promising way is using open-ended survey questions & applying text analysis methods to the answers. New paper w @bea_ferrario https://t.co/ZL08yeB0T6 focusing on people's first-order concerns on tax policy.
