So lovely to see many new faces (welcome, first-years!). We broke the ice, exchanged advice and questions, and launched our mentorship program.

Zoomed in for a great discussion on CA’s billionaire tax: @mattkahn1966 and Saez, moderated by @davidfromterra.
Big Q is migration elasticity-Would people see this as a one-time tax shock or a signal of long-run policy risk?
Makes me miss my days as a PhD student @USC_Econ.
Don't miss today's 12pm Billionaire Tax debate! Our very own @mattkahn1966 will be arguing in opposition, Emmanuel Saez of UC Betkley in favor. Livesteeam link here> – at Ontario, CA

Here is the zoom registration for our Oct 13th debate on the California Billionaire Wealth tax at @usc_econ. I oppose Prop 40. I am starting to feel like the High School football coach in "Friday Night Lights" as everyone is giving me strategy advice!
