And equally warm thanks to the University of Lille, France, which has lent its institutional support to our project.

[Academic Solidarity with Palestine @__aswp]

This is only the beginning! Warm thanks to our profs, and to An-Najah University in the West Bank.

[Academic Solidarity with Palestine @__aswp]

Project launched! 💥 In the past week, a dozen of our profs started teaching online. The subjects range from Calculus 1 to Electrical Engineering, French Writing and Introduction to Python. Approx. 250 Gazan students are enrolled in their classes.

[Academic Solidarity with Palestine @__aswp]

Our aim is to help universities in Gaza resume their activities. We're setting up a worldwide team of university professors, in all subjects, ready to teach Gazan students online. We just started teaching this week!

So now we know the interplay btw trade & tax

Developed countries : trade lib > competitiveness pressures > tax on capital ↘️ & tax on labour ↗️

Developing countries : trade lib > formalisation of the economy > tax on capital ↗️ & tax on labour ↗️

A handy summary of a landmark study by David Card on the effect of the #minimumwage which upturned the way we see the role of the minimum wage 👇

The co-author of that study was the late Alan Krueger, a fantastic researcher but also a top policy aide. An example for many of us.
