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
Mateo Hoyos retweeted
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.
Mateo Hoyos retweeted
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

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?
Mateo Hoyos retweeted
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
Mateo Hoyos retweeted
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.

How bad is administrative bloat in higher ed?
At MIT, the “student body has grown by 8% and its faculty by 9% since the mid-1980s. By comparison, the tally of administrators jumped by 189%.”
Mateo Hoyos retweeted
@florianederer asks a fair question, but the counterfactual is unobservable, b/c nobody publishes rejection letters (unless Florian is asking authors to share those).
What we can observe is impact. So here’s a different test. 🧵 1/
Heterodox economists claim that they're systematically shut out of top econ journals.
So I have a genuine question:
What are the best recent heterodox papers that deserved publication in a top journal but were rejected?

Micro has widened its circle to incorporate game theory, evolutionary dynamics, etc. over the last few decades. The increasing openness to ideas coming from areas outside of neoclassical economics has been especially characteristic of applied micro. Macro theory, which used to be perceived as the more accommodating half of economics, by contrast, has become increasingly closed off to anything outside of fully optimized rational agent models (in single and heterogeneous agent varieties).
In my own area of international economics, using the models incorporated in the Asbjorn Rodseth’s 2000 textbook would render a paper unfit for publication today. It would be hard for someone like Lance Taylor to publish a paper in the JIE or JDE (let alone to serve as an editor of the latter, as he did back then).

Could not agree more … there’s a sort of empty moralism/self-righteousness in the attitude against AI written docs.
