Joseph E. Stiglitz

Disinformation spreads rapidly these days so it's important to get the facts right: I've never been paid by any Argentine government.

I, along with many economists who have served in federal govt, signed this letter to Senate and House cmte chairs highlighting the importance of modernizing our economic data.

The quality of our data is currently headed in the wrong direction. We need to right this ship.

Professor Joseph Stiglitz, Carolina Ocampo Maya and Jose Antonio Ocampo together

"Climate change and climate finance were discussed and alumni asked about the recent settlement with the Trump administration and whether they should send their kids to study in the US. SIPA grad Carolina Ocampo organized the event."

Stiglitz answers a question.

“'Trump has upended the global economic architecture. Since WW II, the world has moved towards a borderless world, or at least a world where borders mattered less. The US took the lead.' Now it is dismantling this architecture. It is important for countries to stand together Stiglitz said."

Alumni in Bogota, Colombia, ask a question

"Questions focused on the rise of populism, how to preserve Democracy and what Latin America can do to protect itself during trade negotiations with the US. Stiglitz praised Brazilian Pres. Lula for willingness to stand up to Trump."

Columbia University alumni gather to hear Professor Joseph Stiglitz in Bogota, Colombia

Trump is bullying Canada over ‘digital taxes’ and Canada caved | Joseph Stiglitz The question now: will countries cave in to these threats or stick together and collect the billions they are rightly owed?

As more and more activity occurs online countries are losing revenue from sales, employment and profits taxes. Just because an activity is provided digitally doesn’t mean it should not be taxed. My op-ed in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Think how much you pay in taxes. Now think about this: The ultra-wealthy pay between 0% and 0.6% of their wealth in individual income tax – around 0.6% in a country like the United States and 0.1% in a country like France.

Why wouldn't we want multinational corporations to pay their share of taxes? It's mind-boggling. #FfD4

Yes, we do

@JosephEStiglitz shares a panel with @sanchezcastejon @PR_Diomaye : "Markets and CRA's routinely exagerate the risks of default by African countries" #FFD4 #FFD4People

At #FfD4 debt roundtable, @josephestiglitz.bsky.social says current global debt architecture is not fit for purpose, and that ineffective responses make problem worse - ceasing de facto bailouts of private creditors by World Bank and IMF, and new issuances of #SDRs, are among actions needed

@josephestiglitz.bsky.social at #FFD4: “Good health is important for a strong economy, and vice versa. It’s a vicious circle. We need aid to finance health systems.”

The challenge at UN aid conference: Governments cannot paper over the cracks in development funding At the United Nations summit in Seville, governments cannot simply cover up the shortcomings of a collapsing developing finance system

With Winnie Byanyima: @elpais.com Aid cuts have thrown critical health and humanitarian work into turmoil and economic uncertainty and unsustainable debt burdens are draining government budgets so no money to deal with pandemics, violent conflict and climate crises

A Tax Victory for Multinationals Over People Joseph E. Stiglitz, José Antonio Ocampo and Jayati Ghosh lament the G7’s decision to exempt US corporations from the global minimum tax rate agreed in 2021.

Once again, G7 governments have decided to put the interests of multinationals ahead of the interests of developing countries, small and medium-size businesses, and their own citizens, lament @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, Jose Ocampo, and Jayati Ghosh. bit.ly/44FQhGB

US multinationals on track for minimum tax reprieve after G7 deal Campaigners say agreement with Washington threatens to kill landmark accord

A Tax Victory for Multinationals Over People Joseph E. Stiglitz, José Antonio Ocampo and Jayati Ghosh lament the G7’s decision to exempt US corporations from the global minimum tax rate agreed in 2021.

The G7’s decision to let US multinationals off the hook weakens even that the modest floor of a 15% global tax and sends the wrong message to the rest of the world.
