Hot off the presses, I propose a way to appraise and tax the value that employers capture by imposing mandatory arbitration and other coercive dispute resolution terms on their workers. Hey employers, that income is gross: https://t.co/iquXV3kLOf

In light of the Biden's upcoming executive order on noncompetes, here's a new working paper that has implications for how we should think about any rule the FTC develops. A brief 🧵

[Matt Johnson @mslater_johnson]

In my paper with @MichaelLipsitz and @KurtLavetti we show exactly this: when noncompetes are enforceable, workers are unable to leverage a tightening in the labor market to secure wage gains, shutting down a key channel of wage growth https://t.co/N8PFSnTRjB

Biden describes non-compete clauses as "ridiculous" in how prevalent they are across industries

"If your employer wants to keep you, he or she should have to make it worth your while to stay," he says

1. Today’s Executive Order on competition launches an important cross-government effort to re-center antimonopoly policy as a key tool for promoting a fair and thriving economy. https://t.co/BmQpTVcqRi

@evanpstarr We should tax a firm that uses an unenforceable noncompete because by constraining employee mobility, that firm has income. Income from illegal activities is still income. Also federal antitrust law including 15 U.S. Code § 15 could support treble damages.

Here's my latest op-ed, on anti-trans laws.

[Daniel Shaviro @DanielShaviro]

I've read the Weisselberg indictment. If we take its assertions as true, this is no ticky-tack, or foot fault, or debatable case of tax fraud. You might as well repeal the federal, state, and city income taxes as discover this sort of conduct and not prosecute it.

[Daniel Hemel @DanielJHemel]

Wow. "arranged for tuition expenses for Weisselberg's family members to be paid by personal checks drawn on the account of & signed by Donald J. Trump"

One might've thought before today: They're charging Weisselberg b/c they don't have goods on Trump.

They've got goods on Trump

Love the excepts you selected @Adam_Zimmerman - thank you!

[Adam Zimmerman @Adam_Zimmerman]

A provocative new paper by @ProfRMorrow argues that, to the extent mandatory arbitration agreements enrich employers who impose them, they should be taxed, just like other lucrative intangible assets. https://t.co/IvYh6pts3t
