Migrants send or bring back over three times the amount of money provided by global foreign aid.

Cutting transaction fees could make this support even more effective in reducing poverty.

In this recent work with Eduardo Hernandez-Rodriguez and Ron Boschma in Papers in Regional Science we apply a #Complexity - #Relatedness approach to measure upgrading in #GVC and reveal an interesting #geography of #functions.

Regions prosper in #GVCs by building on what they do well, say @eduherro.bsky.social, Boschma, @andrea-morrison.bsky.social & Ye in PiRS.
Functional specialisation, rooted in related capabilities, determines whether they climb up the ladder or languish in low-complexity traps

As an econ educator I learned several useful points from @justinwolfers.bsky.social here. I’ve already implemented some of them, and we all must.

👉Keynesian Working Group of @ysi_commons
is happy to announce the Second Edition of the Workshop on "The Political Economy of Growth and Distribution: Global Imbalances, Power Relations, and Historical Perspectives", held at the University of Siena on Februrary 20-21, 2025.

The footlose index @economist.com.web.brid.gy tell us that "Italy, which has a right-wing government obsessed with reducing immigration, is likewise doing little to encourage the immigration of skilled workers..."

This is what I taught my undergrads a couple weeks ago. Economists like David Card, @mclem.org, Giovanni Peri, @chloeneast.bsky.social have studied this extensively, using shocks like the Mariel boatlift, or the staggered adoption of Secure Communities, to show that deportations hurt US workers.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

This is a great event‼️‼️ I put it already on the agenda
