A major surprise of 2022 was the continued surge in start-ups. After an initial Spring 2020 drop business creation rebounded to 20%+ above trend through 2022.

One factor is #WFH reduces the costs of startups, as does cloud compute, software as service and fractional exec time.

This is really important (do read the whole thread) - the rise of predocs could be great for greater diversity & inclusion if they function as bridge programs, OR could simply perpetuate the need to have good networks and pre-existing knowledge while lengthening the path to PhD.

New BLS survey: sectors with high WFH levels had high business relocation rates. We often think WFH lets employees move, but businesses can move too!

So WFH makes businesses more footloose, raising the importance of states improving business conditions to retain/attract firms.

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.
