💡 Takeaway: Family ties, especially shared households, are key drivers of infection.
But schools can still amplify small increases in risk.
✅ Rich registry data helps us pinpoint how SARS-CoV-2 really spreads.

🧵1/ Paper out
How does COVID-19 spread through school and family networks?
We analyzed Dutch population registry data (containing info on everybody in the Netherlands) to understand which social ties mattered most in student infections from 2020–2021.

But take the results with a grain of salt: schools were closed for ~1/3 of the time, and we only studied PCR test results (i.e., no asymptomatic or mild cases).

We also found that most variation stemmed from individual and school-level factors, not geographic location.

Bottom line:
- The vast majority of profits in tax havens are artificially shifted to tax havens. It doesn't really matter which model you use, you get a similar level of profit shifting of about 1 trillion profits. 9/9

🧵Together with @petr_janksy, we recently published "Profit shifting of multinational corporations worldwide" in World Development (free pdf at: https://t.co/UbzdSjPgwz), where we look at the distributional consequences of profit shifting of multinationals. (1/9)

[Javier Garcia-Bernardo (@javiergbe.bsky.social) @javiergb_com]

What are some of the modeling alternatives:
- Data-driven modeling, such as our paper
- Comparing profitability with local firms: e.g. https://t.co/7NMmzKvFnx
- New theory on profit shifting (the reason of this thread). 8/9
