30% of first-time homebuyers get downpayment assistance from parents...

How much of the homeownership rate among young households is accounted for by parental transfers?

This paper finds:

(1) parental transfers account for 15 p.p. (31%) of the young adult homeownership rate

(2) "parental transfers account for 30% of the black-white homeownership gap"

(In short, 30% is a key % in this paper)

Is there an economic rationale for the seemingly (to me) erratic moves of Elon Musk?

What is it that I keep overlooking, #TeachEcon #EconResearch?

Serious Q, students asked and I can't find a rationale.

Sure, he wants to monetize both market size. But I wonder if charging users may not eventually kill both sides of the market.

So excited to see my (first) IZA Discussion Paper come out with Erwin Tiongson! #newpaperalert

Hi everyone!
If anyone knows about studies regarding #junkfood sales within schools could you share them with me please? I haven’t found much on the topic and I am writing my undergrad thesis on that.

Thanks in advance!

@chrisadamsecon @paulgp

I propose
#TeachEcon #EconResearch #EconMedia as three additional tags to distinguish teaching, research, and media articles/blogs/general interest posts.

This feels like the first day of school.

Hello! T. O. is the name.

I'm a writer (of things). My peers procrastinate by cleaning or finally fixing that leaking tap. Me? I fell into a #econresearch rabbit hole because the economics of writing—like everything under capitalism—made no sense. I'm working to cocoon myself in #communaleconomics through #decoloniality and #engagedanthropology. At present, I'm in the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme at the LSE.
