Enough with the bleak local politics for a minute. Very excited to share that pre-proofs are out for our JDE article, “Local and Spillover Effects of Trade on Structural Transformation: Evidence from Brazil,” with @JosecoronadoAr and @GuilhermeKlei11. Thread below. 1/9

¿Por qué medir incidencia en pesos y no en porcentaje sobre los ingresos como usualmente se hace en materia de impuestos?
Replying to @NunezJairo
4/ Las exenciones del IVA benefician a todos, pero más, en pesos, a quienes más compran: los hogares de mayores ingresos. Defenderlas en nombre de los pobres es proteger a los de arriba con el discurso de los de abajo.

Qué importante esto. Los megarricos reducen sus impuestos de manera dramática con esta estratagema tributaria. Hay que hablar más de esto. Ni idea cuál sea la solución, pero este asunto es fundamental para mejorar la equidad del sistema y mejorar dramáticamente el recaudo.
Replying to @danielmunevar
La reforma, al reducir la tarifa de renta empresarial y no tocar el esquema de excepciones y gastos tributarios, aumentar de manera sustancial los ingresos disponibles de las personad más ricas del país. Elemento más regresivo de la reforma, no aparece en el análisis

Esto que significa? Las personas de mas altos ingresos constituyen empresas que les permiten registrar sus gastos personales como gastos empresariales y descontarlos de su declaración, reduciendo de manera dramática sus obligaciones tributarias.

Segundo, el impacto de la reducción de la tarifa de renta a las empresas (0.42% del PIB). Esta se traduce, por definición, en mayores utilidades. La cuestión es que el grueso del ingreso de los mas ricos en Colombia corresponde a ingresos no laborales asociados a estas.

Hoy vamos a hablar de LA EQUIDAD. Y no, lo siento, no vamos a hablar de futbol. Miremos con detalle el análisis que presenta la reforma tributaria sobre su impacto en la desigualdad en el país.

Interesante resultado, abre debate entre dos lecturas: 1. Proteger del todo a deciles inferiores, entonces sin factura que propone @RobertoAnguloS; 2. Aun contra factura hay progresividad, y eso abre incentivo fuerte a formalización que podría revertir el neto negativo 1-3

GDP per capita remains a very informative measure of wellbeing. And that the reason I think developing economies should be utterly obsessed about economic growth.
What is life like at different levels of GDP per capita? In this new chart I visualised it for 12 different dimensions.

Coming here to qualify this with my most political/advocacy self. If this is the main goal, we must go beyond neoliberal policies, which have been very poor for growth. If growth truly obsesses you, industrial and developmental policy are the terms you should be talking about.

De forma preventiva: Si ven a alguien en español retomar los resultados de la “auditoria” con LLM al trabajo de Piketty, Saez y Zucman , sepan que los economistas en finanzas públicas la consideran basura. Lo digo porque conozco a varios que son capaces de retomarla así nomás.
Given that public finance economists across the political spectrum agree that the AI results are slop, perhaps @MargRev should retract what is now being used as ideological misinformation?

Bravo Zucman! The world is definitely watching and that's why they will only attack you more and more, but also the reason you should keep at it. Fuerza!
Hello @elonmusk and @tylercowen , You have just decided to publicly attack our research, six days before the vote on the California billionaire wealth tax. Your attempt to discredit our work and that of our numerous academic colleagues is pathetic. Let’s take a look. 🧵

As far as I see, *none* of the public finance economists on this side (no matter where they lean politically) find the criticism on the Saez/Zucman "evaluation" page valid. Every positive tweet comes from someone from outside the field who likely doesn't know the papers. 1/2

This is not how we should proceed. I hope the authors and MR retract this based on a wide range of folks making a good case against this type of review / assessment.
