Its tax and welfare systems are shockingly bad at reducing inequality

The enduring legacy of the opioid epidemic has important lessons for partisan politics that are often overlooked. Happy to discuss our work @Viquibarone w/@BenWallaceWells from The @NewYorker
Horror stories about the fentanyl epidemic have a particular resonance for U.S. politicians—they suggest that instability, violence, and suffering are just below the surface, even though unemployment is under four per cent.

Yes! The Opioid Epidemic (unintentionally) translated into large gains for the Republican Party How? It created economic hardship for the working class, a topic at the center of the platform of the Republican party, and one where Democrats have lost ground (1/3)
The opioid epidemic fueled the rise of the Republican party. A one-standard-deviation increase in the quasi-exogenous exposure to the opioid epidemic led to a 4.6 percentage point increase in the Republican vote share. @caroartc

James Robinson ha sido muy generoso con Colombia. Ha formado estudiantes colombianos por décadas.Ha hecho investigación muy relevante sobre el país.Ha participado en discusiones de política pública y ayudó con el proceso de paz con las FARC. Felicitaciones y enorme agradecimiento
Reflecting on the honor of winning a Nobel Prize, Prof. James A. Robinson said Monday at his home: “It’s a little bit emotional. I’m super happy obviously, but very proud and honored,” Robinson said. “It hasn’t quite sunk in yet.”

If there was a Nobel Prize for advising, Daron Acemoglu would likely win that too. In 2018, @dongheejo68 and I mapped out his past advisees. 117 since 1994, or roughly 5 per year (~1/4 of a typical cohort!) [1/2]
