"Do Tax Increases Tame Inflation? The answer is 'yes' for personal income taxes...Using narrative-identified US federal tax changes post-World War II and disaggregated sectoral data on consumer and producer prices, we show that higher average personal income tax rates lower prices across a broad range of sectors"

@mazarine For you (and others), how much do you feel like we need to give back to the field? (assuming that is what we're doing)

Does it matter if we don't learn much of anything or make any new contacts?

I contribute expertise all the time, unpaid or, worse, paying multiple entities (hotels, restaurants, associations) for the privilege. All while I barely have enough work to bother with at times.

If I'm honest about evaluating my practice, what evidence do I have that it's worth it?

Zero. Le sigh.

#evaluation #research #conference #AEA #VSA #AERA

I'm really debating what function conferences have for me at this point, especially as I've been self-funded for 15 years.

I know I'm not alone in pondering this.

Disney's already scanning background talent, without proper permission, or any agreement whatsoever, actually. NPR: "Hollywood's Already Doing Body Scans"

I would ask how Tenn. Rep. Chris Todd can be a lawmaker and not understand even the basics of how the law works, but he's a fascist, so the answer is right there.

For those playing at home: A Federal judge ruled that Tenn.'s Anti-Drag Law (The #AdultEntertainmentAct/ #AEA) was unconstitutional. Chris Todd seems to think that because he told the #Shelby county DA that they are forbidden from enforcing this in their county that this ruling only applies in that county.

I think this flew under the radar on a late Friday ruling

And just like that, drag remains legal in Tennessee

The American Evaluation Association is publishing a special issue on open science in New Directions for Evaluation. Proposals are due August 13.

"This special issue will provide readers with chapters on open science in evaluation, including what open science is, what open science can bring to the field of evaluation, and what the field of evaluation can bring to open science."

I joined the #AEA #CSWEP board! I'm the Newsletter Oversight Editor, and in that position will work to help reveal the "#HiddenCurriculum" and less obvious resources.

For those who were unaware, all issues of the CSWEP Newsletter are available online: https://www.aeaweb.org/about-aea/committees/cswep/newsletters

Recent newsletter issues have discussed everything from navigating the (pre-doc era) PhD process, to getting research funding, to seminar culture.

"Mai come oggi, per la svolta ecologica e per la pace mondiale, sono necessarie sovranità e democrazia al più basso livello possibile, perché ogni comunità possa valorizzare la propria diversità, sviluppare la propria economia locale, perseguire conquiste importanti di autosufficienza alimentare ed energetica, coltivare ideali di libertà, responsabilità, coesione sociale e territoriale, secondo principi di sussidiarietà."

Registration at #ASSA2023 was 6,000 in advance vs 12,000 at #assa2020 in San Diego. Missing include 1.5k job market candidates, ~2-3k interviewers, others. Impact: $900K loss on meeting. Effect: reg fees will go up for 2024. Per #aea sec/treas Rousseau at business meeting.

"The two characteristics most associated with higher rates of sexual harassment are (a) male-dominated gender ratios and leadership and (b) an organizational climate that communicates tolerance of sexual harassment." Great talk by Billy Williams of the American Geophysical Union at #AEA #CSWEP panel on sexual harassment at #AEA #ASSA Annual Meeting. He added (paraphrasing): "We can predict where this will happen."

I wish I could have attended one more aneventapart.com before it concluded. I kinda wish they’d done one last show letting folks know it’d be the last one. 😔

Anyways, a huge thanks to the #aea team and amazing speakers over the years. It had a huge impact on my career over the years. 😍
