Do GLP-1 medications pay for themselves by reducing other health care spending?
New NBER WP (claims data + stacked DID): GLP-1 initiation does not reduce non-GLP health spending. Non-GLP spending is higher at 1 year and 5 years. @KosaliSimon @sacksdaniel @STingCai

🚨Do GLP-1s “pay for themselves”? We study real-world impacts at scale. An estimated 1 in 8 Americans have tried GLP-1s. But beyond clinical trials, we know surprisingly little about their real-world effects.

How do incoming remote workers impact local incumbents in their new destinations? I answer this question by (1) using the policy variation, known as ``Remote Worker Relocation Programs” and (2) building and estimating a local economy model. (1/7)

New paper: Direct and indirect effects of vaccines: Evidence from COVID-19 in schools” w/@seth_freedman @KosaliSimon @coady_wing
Link: nber.org/papers/w30550
Abstract:
1/8
Is this a contradiction? No, many vaccines protect the vaccinated without preventing transmission, for example hepatitis B and rotavirus vaccines do not generate sterilizing immunity
