@jasonfurman -- Tue Sep 28 00:20:14 +0000 2021
The semantic debates about the budget bill around the meaning of “cost” and whether to use net or gross numbers are missing most of the relevant substantive issues. Like whether the investments are a good idea, whether this magnitude of redistribution is warranted, etc.

IF a piece of legislation is paid for then you know who is paying for it. IF a piece of legislation is not paid for then it will still be paid for, you just don't know who will be paying for it. That's an important difference. https://t.co/WnFe4iGDJi

@causalinf -- Mon Sep 27 02:43:39 +0000 2021
So that's my plan. I'll plant a flag in the ground for a 3-day causal inference workshop in January and start aggressively recruiting for it. That's my strategy -- plant the flag, then hustle and fill it, knock it out of the park, and repeat. I'm curious about this. 25/n

@RealEKenD No, but I'm going to try soon. I'm going to try and run the #AEA5k, which will likely require a broader range of exercise because of the leg and ankle breaks a few years ago. But for now, no I haven't been. Just running calorie deficits.

The AER and QJE are quite similar to me. Very in your face, no frills. I do like all caps blocked letters of QJE titles and names. The AER is probably my least favorite, but only because it just feels very modern and without a lot to say for it except "I'm a journal article." https://t.co/oj3KKvoKlv

The on-site workshops are priced at an hourly consulting fee and each day is 8-hours. You fly me out, cover those costs, and for the duration of the visit, I'm 100% yours to be used anyway you want. I'll meet with students and faculty constantly in addition to teach. 12/n

I am comfortable monetizing workshops, and I am comfortable monetizing physical book sales, and that's it. So anything extra I do, that's free. And I have some workshops I've committed to which will remain free. But I have others that will not. So let me talk about that. 8/n

My #AEA5k tee shirt vendor, Bonfire, collects orders every 7 days, then ships out a batch shortly thereafter. This repeated ad infinitum, so there is no hurry, but I thought I'd say there are 4 hours left before first batch closes and they make shirts. https://t.co/Sts1b9bzwx

But the really interesting thing was what he found on self-reported happiness. Months later, when asked about subjective happiness, compliers who went through with the decision because the coin came up heads were happier than had they not. 15/n
@causalinf -- Mon Sep 27 17:50:36 +0000 2021
With that dogma in my mind, I went to the study believing "well, put aside whatever they find, I still believe that these marriages are probably sub-optimal, because why wouldn't they have formed them if they were so great to begin with?" But it's on here the study pushed me. 13n
@causalinf -- Mon Sep 27 17:50:36 +0000 2021
As I say in my substack, matching models often show that the assigned matches that occur, when made voluntarily, are better than other assignments that could have been made. Like more stable. This seems sensible -- wouldn't it be people who know best when and to whom to marry?
@causalinf -- Mon Sep 27 17:50:34 +0000 2021
These move induced marriages are a complier population who would have not married (not then anyway) had they not been assigned which to me, and how I think, made me suspect they would be relatively unstable as far as unions go. But it's hard to find evidence for that 10/n
@causalinf -- Mon Sep 27 17:50:33 +0000 2021
In this table, we see linear probability models of marriage regressed against total number of moves for various types of marriage outcomes and samples. The results are the same -- there is a large increase in the probability of marriage caused by a move. 9/n https://t.co/UvBBqENPnn
@causalinf -- Mon Sep 27 17:50:32 +0000 2021
As most reading this know, randomization has the nice feature of allowing us to draw plausible conclusions about causal effects in aggregate, and the authors walk us through evidence suggesting that moves, indeed, cause marriage rates to rise. 8/n
@causalinf -- Mon Sep 27 17:50:31 +0000 2021
The questions are scientifically interesting, as well as relevant for questions in labor economics. The US Army, as Susan notes, cares about the well being of its employees, for instance, and so has a natural vested interest in knowing what effect its choices have on others 4/n

The economic impacts of migration, a research question that Wozniak has spent a large chunk of her career studying, weave through family's lives and may cause households to dissolve or form. The problem is migration and marriage is so endogenous it's hard to say much 5/n
@causalinf -- Mon Sep 27 17:50:30 +0000 2021
Susan and Abigail are interested in estimating the effects of moves on marriage. Moving and marriage, as I try to say in my substack, are deeply intertwined in knots of endogeneity. I propose that maybe that's true for all really massive life decisions occurring together. 2/n

@BelittleMyTakes @imbernomics I agree with @JamesGLeckie below. I think that there was a failure in coordinating the communications of the risk mitigation factor of (masks/distance/outdoors/mobility) pre-BLM. BLM sort of forced the coordination, but there wasn't anything new about the information.

@AnthonyLeeZhang Perhaps we can agree on the following summary: Kantian thinking can be abusively described as "In a symmetric game form, whenever you consider deviating, imagine everyone does "the same" deviation, suitably defined. Do not do deviations you would not like then."

@profholden ...considerations on the potential harms and benefits of vaccination are very finely balanced." Not a fringe group, the official assessing authority for the UK. (The recommendation was only for those 12-15yo with underlying conditions.) https://t.co/CeBFkI8cfS
@andrewlilley_au -- Sun Sep 26 23:58:02 +0000 2021
@profholden I think the recommendation here is far more marginal than most expect. For example, JCVI recommended against universal vaccination of 12-15yo, rather only those w preconditions. "Very low risk of serious disease in those aged 12 to 15 years without an underlying health condition.

This is why the obsessive focus of many on targets has missed the wood for the trees. And why advocates must also hold politicians to account for their substantive policy commitments and for the real outcomes they achieve. These must be robust, far outlasting the electoral cycle.
@SHamiltonian -- Mon Sep 27 01:55:17 +0000 2021
I’ve seen many argue political pressure on inner-city Liberals will encourage substantive policy action on climate change. I used to find that convincing. But really all these inner-city voters require is the ability to vote Liberal without guilt. Idle commitments enable that.

@profholden @davidjackson34 Yeah I don’t know what “awful lot” is. With 80-90% of say over-12s vaccinated, I really don’t know how many under 12s will be infected, and thus how many will become seriously ill. But I think it’s probably a pretty small number.

@natecochrane @RundellTaylor BTW, don’t ever use the word transition around these people because they absolutely hate.

@SHamiltonian @thejohnholden In my analysis, I found that if the structural adjustment follows a similar pattern to previous strucutural adjustments (textiles, automanufacturing, etc), three regions (Central QLD, Mackay + Hunter) stand to lose ~$66m *a week* in wages. That's the end of those towns. (1/2)
@OliverCaddick -- Mon Sep 27 02:41:55 +0000 2021
@SHamiltonian And so it is. But a policy decision that must be made. Agree we don’t have time to bring everyone around of their own accord. But the policy settings can also soften the transition for coal and gas workers.
@grumpyeconomist -- Sun Sep 26 23:20:50 +0000 2021
@SHamiltonian I don’t know enough about realpolitik to argue with your reply. But in my view there are too many enablers that allow this position to go unchallenged.

@thejohnholden @SHamiltonian To echo @SHamiltonian’s point, this isn’t an argument against zero carbon (I’m for it as fast as possible), but an argument to have a credible plan for whole regions that provides a life for the communities that live there. (2/2)
@croydoncathy -- Sun Sep 26 23:30:30 +0000 2021

@thejohnholden @SHamiltonian We're in agreement on that! Also, my apologies if my tweets came off in anyway that wasn't just about contributing to the debate. Your points are spot on, in that as it currently stands, there's nothing that says those high paying jobs will be replaced.
@croydoncathy -- Sun Sep 26 23:28:46 +0000 2021
@SHamiltonian These are all good questions that you quite rightly say individual workers will face. But why the kid gloves for them? I am one of millions of workers who have been retrenched from jobs & industries we loved & relied on. $200k as guaranteed job for life, why?

@SHamiltonian To be clear I suggest we should all want assistance provided to workers whose lives are disrupted by the transition. Bit sick of hearing “I got treated like shit so why shouldn’t they”. We need the transition to save the climate but let’s aim to treat people better this time.

@SHamiltonian @andrewlilley_au @profholden 👏 It would be nice to have that articulated more clearly in the debate (or maybe I've not paid attention?). Discussion about cost-benefit in terms of vaccination is frustratingly narrow. Medical experts should at the very least consider impacts on transmission and mental health

@thejohnholden @SHamiltonian We’re in furious agreement. There’s nothing that bothers me more than the people who use the problem as an excuse to avoid moving to net-zero or as an argument to say it can’t/shouldn’t. I think a plan like @beyondzeronews proposes is the kind of thing we need.
@asintemple -- Sun Sep 26 22:55:53 +0000 2021
@SHamiltonian @thejohnholden Again, we all benefit from getting to zero carbon as fast as possible, but none of us in urban centers really lose anything through that transition. We're asking discreet locations and real communities to bear all the brunt, & offering them no credible alternative. (2/3)
@notthebandfool -- Mon Sep 27 06:12:49 +0000 2021
@SHamiltonian Sqawk!
@ToddMorrisEcon -- Mon Sep 27 00:13:49 +0000 2021
@andrewlilley_au @profholden The biggest benefit of vaccinating kids is unlikely to be individual protection from COVID. Child vaccination will reduce transmission (somewhat) and anxiety (a lot). It will also promote more in-person schooling with less disruptions and boost the economy by reducing fear.

@SHamiltonian @thejohnholden What's worse, we're somehow surprised that when we're asking them to put their lives and livelihoods on the line without any offer of security, they're not keen. IMO, we need to build secure regional economies with jobs for blue collar workers in a zero carbon economy (3/3)

@thejohnholden @SHamiltonian As I showed in my report a year or so ago, the problem isn’t that there’s not that many miners, it’s that they are concentrated in specific regions & that the regions are built around high wage primary industry. (1/2) https://t.co/bCxS4q1TSy

@StuartBDonovan -- Mon Sep 27 00:11:24 +0000 2021
@StaudeKyle @SHamiltonian Good point. I was interpreting occupation very narrowly but it's absolutely true that the demand for mining (in aggregate) is likely to remain strong.
@thejohnholden -- Sun Sep 26 23:22:27 +0000 2021
@asintemple @SHamiltonian No worries! My concern was that this can easily turn into a jeopardy argument, where net-zero cannot be achieved since/until regional economic loss would be "worse"/is remedied, which isn't anyone's argument here, but the nuance can catch you out.

1/ Friends, the federal government is not a business. I'm not sure "gross vs. net costs" is a helpful frame for understanding the federal budget. 1. The bill would increase spending by $3.5 trillion. 2. If fully paid for by tax increases, it would not increase the debt. https://t.co/BsS8sQnffX
@MichaelRStrain -- Mon Sep 27 19:39:45 +0000 2021
This is correct. The $3.5 trillion spending package does not "cost $0" even if it were fully paid for with tax increases. https://t.co/3RtRfCiYUK
@MichaelRStrain -- Mon Sep 27 15:00:26 +0000 2021
2/ But that does not mean that it "would cost $0." I don't even know what that cost statement means. Tax and spending increases effect decisions about working, saving, and investment. They effect future national income.

One can make a compelling argument that the social benefit of protecting political speech by holding such rallies also offset costs.

@besttrousers At the time I don't think we were all that clear on the risks of mass outdoor events (even though for smaller events it seemed at the time risk was low). It was essentially done in the context where the protests were being compared to outdoor Trump rallies w/ similar risks.
@imbernomics -- Mon Sep 27 14:10:48 +0000 2021
@JamesGLeckie @BelittleMyTakes @besttrousers but that needs to be made distinct from the public health risks at that time. Like it or not saying one was ok, and the other was not, while they had similar contagion risks (outdoors, close together) bred distrust.

As opposed to the most Jets ending ever to a Jets game which would be the Jets about to score in a tied game with no time left on the clock only to have the runner fumble the ball on the 5 yard line and it gets picked up by the other team who runs it back for the touchdown.

The budget resolution Dems passed last month allows them to add no more than $1.75T to deficits. So bill could theoretically score as costing anywhere from $0 - $1.75T, and still pass the Byrd Rule. In practice seems Manchin would not vote for a bill at high end of that range
@crampell -- Mon Sep 27 13:03:39 +0000 2021
as I’ve written, Dems are getting cold feet on some of their own tax hikes (also questionable whether they can fit all their gross costs into $3.5T-sized box). Most likely, even after budget gimmicks, the bill will score as partly but not fully paid for. https://t.co/RXhIwDDnob
@crampell -- Mon Sep 27 13:03:38 +0000 2021
It is actually different. TCJA scored as costing $2T *after* accounting for pay-fors (including addit'l econ growth). Dems say their spending/taxcuts bill will add up to $3.5T *before* payfors.

@laderafrutal Who said they were? That's precisely my point: first time voters rejected both Die Linke and AfD in favor of the four center-left and center-right parties, but especially the FDP and Greens over the SPD and CDU.

The media totally unprepared for reporting on far right authoritarianism: not just an 🇺🇸 phenomenon. Fortunately, 🇨🇦's political system is far better designed to insulate against the far right gaining power. https://t.co/uYIbUIVN84
@mcopelov -- Sun Sep 26 21:23:04 +0000 2021
No. The reason that "markets" have held up well in the face of Evergrande is that 🇨🇳's real estate/domestic financial markets are not remotely as important as 🇺🇸's for global financial stability. It has little to do with Chinese growth or austerity. https://t.co/ceFw7LcQld https://t.co/n9FEz0gX2E

@JemezStargazer @dwnews Why? That's vastly few seats for a far right authoritarian party than in the 🇺🇸 and many, many other democracies. It means that 89.6% of 🇩🇪 voters rejected the far right authoritarianism.

5. I suspect that we don't do this because the word 'problematic' operates so effectively as an INNUENDO-- Or better, an *insinnuendo* Rhetorically, it divides the audience between those who know ALREADY what *our* commitments are (often because they share them)...
@tmbejan -- Mon Sep 27 09:04:50 +0000 2021
8. It suggests that they had better get on-side, and quick -- whether they understand the objection or not. In short: 'problematic' operates as an EXCLUSIONARY RHETORICAL STRATEGY.
@tmbejan -- Mon Sep 27 09:04:49 +0000 2021
7. For those who don't *belong* to this community of judgment for whatever reason and so don't immediately grasp the objection...well: The word 'problematic' conveys that *they themselves* are a PROBLEM!
@tmbejan -- Mon Sep 27 09:04:49 +0000 2021
6. And so are presumptively *IN THE KNOW* about what the speaker finds objectionable. To this audience, 'problematic' indicates where the problem is, but they do not need to be told WHAT it is.

10. Because exclusionary rhetorical strategies like this are *disastrous* for learning. They encourage a subtle sort of BULLYING in place of mutual justification or understanding. They EXCLUDE, rather than EXPLAIN.
