"The China Shock destroyed millions of American manufacturing jobs."
At least that's a claim.
But prices connect everyone. When you shock one part of the market, the "control" group moves.
Today we have 3,000 words on "The Missing Intercept" problem.

Xianglong (Sean) Kong (@SeanKongXL) is an excellent international trade student on the market. His paper studies learning in supplier/buyer networks and its importance for the dynamic gains from trade. A sophisticated model with endogenous networks quantified with Belgian data.
@SeanKongXL studies how supplier-buyer learning drives productivity growth in endogenous networks. He shows that firms upgrade networks to learn from productive partners, amplifying welfare gains from trade.

New paper on the impact that human capital accumulation has on growth convergence across regions. Take a look.
Differences in the cost of acquiring human capital shape the geography of economic development. Regional proportional reductions in these costs dominate uniform policies, from @klausvanieper, Dávid Krisztián Nagy, and @HansbergRossi nber.org/papers/w34310
Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I am thrilled to start my career at @MSUEconomics. I look forward to working with everyone here and contributing to our great department!

To be clear:
1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition.
2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter.
H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would; whatever ability they have to do that is not impacted by yesterday’s proclamation.
3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders.
It will first apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle.

SUMMARY OF H-1B EXECUTIVE ORDER
- ENTRY BAN: No H-1B visa holder may enter the United States beginning Sunday September 21st, including current visa holders, unles they pay $100K to enter.
- VISA FEE: New H-1B and H-1B extensions must pay 100K to be processed and 100K per year every year thereafter to maintain them.
This will effectively end the H-1B program completely. No one, even the highest paid at 500K will be paying an extra 100K a year to the government.
It will destroy the health care, higher education, and technology sectors as we know them if this isn't struck down in court.

During the Academic Year 2020-2021, I converted my Zoom Transcripts into text files and edited them and this free textbook emerged. Both undergraduates and Masters Students like it. It is very different than the other Urban Economics books.
