This was such a brilliant dissertation! I was proud to help @joel_pointon with his work. Its a very comprehensive analysis of these gaps and how they have changed over time and differ between different groups.

Our latest UK firm creation data analysis:
https://t.co/7HEYK1JFlJ

Overall story: firm creation fell sharply in lockdown-I (Mar 2020) but has been booming since summer 2020, despite additional lockdowns. Booming firm creation driven by specific sectors.

A refreshing change of pace, as Yellen calls for global minimum corporate tax - where has this rhetoric been the past 10 years? "Competitiveness is [where]... all citizens fairly share the burden of financing government" https://t.co/OCLW0dcsHe via @FT

[Amanda Gosling @AmandaGosling3]

2 things can both be true. First structural and institutional racism exists. Second policies that try and address directly (e.g. UB training) have less impact on outcome disparity across groups than ones that target disadvantage in general (e.g. MW, more investment in schools)
