It is uncomfortable, but this needs to happen at nearly every university. The bureaucratic bloat is mindblowing.

Carried Interest has been a talking point in tax policy for at least 20 years. It is often viewed as a loophole that if closed would bring in revenue.

@kearney_melissa Someone should look into this

@DietCoke_Esq Mention the Bills = Blocked and Reported

@sungilkim94 Which direction does this point for the existing research? I understand your data is better - does it tend to suggest better or worse outcomes for patients? Or just no idea? It’s a great contribution on a very important topic.

@AlanMCole And I might be wrong! I don’t know much about civil service protections. I have tenure and its special inefficient protections

[Victor Fleischer @vicfleischer]

@AlanMCole Isn’t the real point the circumvention of civil service protections, effectively forcing many existing employees to retire or quit? Not the same as private sector decisions, though I agree a cost-benefit analysis without a political lens is useful

[Victor Fleischer @vicfleischer]

@agranato42 Fascinating! Curious how well everything maps on to Hansmann/transaction cost economics analysis, and what doesn’t seem to fit (presumably because of regulatory issues or regulatory arbitrage?). Send me a syllabus when you have one? And congrats on the job at UT!

Whoever decided that a university speaker getting reimbursed for an Uber needs to complete the same supplier onboarding as a firm bidding on a $1M waste disposal contract: please rot in hell, with respect.

I interviewed 20 senior admins and profs for this story. They painted a similar picture: under Alexander, Mellon became monomaniacally obsessed with social justice, almost exclusively funding work advancing political causes at the expense of more traditional humanities work. 4/

@PatentScholar I didn’t anticipate an excise tax on new patents as part of our new R&D policy

Some advice for new students entering law school:

find the largest, most aggressive professor, and on the first day of class keep raising your hand to make comments

that will let the other students know not to mess with you

[Penn Wharton Budget Model @BudgetModel]

We estimate the Senate-passed reconciliation bill increases primary deficits by $3.1 trillion over 10 years. The dynamic cost, including changes to the economy, is larger at $3.5 trillion. GDP falls by 0.3 in 10 years and falls by 4.6 in 30 years. https://t.co/k61DFZ4ZPo

@johnarnold How much could we get for Camp Pendleton? I feel like selling off 20 miles of CA coastline could actually bend the curve on the deficit.

Why would we think promotion of national unity is a proper goal for universities?

We all owe a debt of gratitude to @ProfRobAnderson for his tweets proving that tipping is customary in the industry of law teaching. #NoTaxOnTips

[Victor Fleischer @vicfleischer]

@SmithMatthewC Niche tweet. Love it

[Victor Fleischer @vicfleischer]

@Brendan_Duke They really are incredibly good

[Victor Fleischer @vicfleischer]

@goodtaxtakes Shocking

@George_A_Callas Just settle at 20k and move on already
