How much should we reduce income inequality?
For guidance we can look to public sector pay scales, the closest thing we have to a democratically determined distribution. In major institutions like the NHS, universities, etc, salary inequalities rarely exceed a ratio of 5:1.

This is class war
NEW: The value of the federal minimum wage is at its lowest point in 66 years.
After the longest period in history without an increase, the minimum wage today is worth 27% less than 13 years ago—and 40% less than in 1968.

Fun story. I came across this short paper in the American Economic Review during my graduate studies. I was working on project delays, contracts and scheduling and was reading anything I could find on the topic. jstor.org/stable/1812721?sam…

I’m also happy to see that no one made @erinhengel add male coauthors to this paper. 🙃
Delighted to see this influential paper by @erinhengel is forthcoming at @EJ_RES:

There is the work on "audience costs" (i.e. if leaders fear being punished for not following through on a demand), such as recent papers by @Ccrismancox & @mike_gibilisco in @AJPS_Editor...

An UChicago midterm asking how a "real economist" would respond to the Guardian article about price controls
We are happy to showcase our cover design for our third issue!
The graph we chose to stylize was the Markowitz portfolio efficiency frontier as suggested by @Noahpinion
When we say 'curiosity doesn't start we a degree' we mean it. We've pushed ahead a piece from our upcoming issue, written by an incredibly talented high school student! Read Daniel Donoso's paper of the economic determinants of nationalism.

Extremely cool new visualization. The Structure of Economics maps 157,000 economics papers based on their citation networks. Clicking on a paper tells you the most common themes & journals in a cluster and the search function lets you find topics & papers. homepage.univie.ac.at/noichl…

We are incredibly excited that the Nobel Prize in Economics has gone to Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo and Michael Kremer. Their work is highly influential for development economists. Even though their work is very recent, it is standard reading in a development econ class 1/n

Lastly a likely enlightening paper for many that attempts to more honestly portray the lives of the global poor

We highly recommend looking up their work in much more detail. It's the best way to spend Indigenous People's Day or that other name for today

It's also incredibly important and exciting that Duflo is not only the second woman to win this award, but also the youngest person to have done so.
Here is the highly detailed page on the Nobel web site with more information:
