Thanks for a fantastic discussion, @TheStalwart @tracyalloway So much fun talking about Fed reaction functions, bonds becoming risky, and geopolitics!
On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast, @CarolinPflueger joins @tracyalloway and @TheStalwart to discuss why Treasury and global bond yields have been surging and what central banks have to do to make bonds more “bond-like” again. Listen at bit.ly/3PsKJKY or watch at Bloomberg.com/video

Glad to be part of this @BrookingsInst’s SECURE 3.0 initiative!
@cormacodea, @TahaChoukhmane, @L_Schmidt_Econ and I wrote about how 401(k) safe-harbor regulation can allow better match designs that raise savings and decrease participation gaps.
Retirement saving in America has changed dramatically over the past few decades. Today @BrookingsInst's Retirement Security Project launched "SECURE 3.0," a collection of new proposals to strengthen how Americans save for and spend in retirement.

So excited that the public microdata is out for the Open Research Unconditional income Study (ORUS)! 1000 folks were randomly given $1000/month and a 2000 person comparison group received $50/month for 3 years.

🧵 1/11 Half of U.S. adults already use AI for financial advice: what advice are they getting?
New paper: we ask people to write prompts seeking financial advice from LLMs & simulate the lifetime impact of following that advice (w/ @timdesilva, @wdwlin &
@AkuzawaMatthew)

A lot of my research works with big data and long pipelines. I wasn't able to find examples of a skill for unit tests on such environments (I'm sure it's out there though!) so my lab put one together. It has multiple modes depending on data complexity.

The Booth B+ GPA cap in each class also cuts down on grade complaints. You tell a student their ranking in the class point distribution and it is very hard for them to argue for a higher grade when there is a hard cap. @JohnHCochrane 's proposed refinement would be even better.

💯 Here's the thing: the current UI system is very poorly designed to help white collar workers.
For starters, the weekly benefit caps in many states make the replacement rates very low for middle class workers (e.g., $235 in MS).
So yes, it would be great to fix UI.

Time to tweet about a great new-ish paper from Christina Patterson (disclosure: my wife!), @p_ganong, @pascaljnoel, @JoeVavra, and @AlexWeinberg_ that I think is in a sweet spot of “things economists don’t think about enough” and “true and important” – earnings fluctuations! 1/n
