Delighted to have this paper out in AEJ:Applied!
Three takeaways:
1. Absolute mobility decreased across rich countries over the past decades
2. Mainly due to slowing growth rather than rising inequality
3. Panel data effectively unnecessary for estimation

ביום שישי אליק רכב על אופניים להר הרצל לבקר את אחיו איתן, סרן איתן אוסטר שנפל בלבנון בערב ראש השנה. אוטובוס פגע באליק והוא מורדם ומונשם ואין לי אוויר.
המשפחה פרסמה קריאה משותפת לרפואתו.
@EliqOster דיר בלאק אליק אתה תיכף ומיד תתעורר ותכעס שצייצתי שמעת?

מאמר חדש (יחד עם אסטבן קלור) - שרשור בעברית:
אנחנו מנתחים את השפעת הרפורמות במס דיבידנד ב2012 ו2017 על ההכנסות ממסים ועל רווחים כלואים כתוצאה מכך.
שורה תחתונה - ניתן לקבל הכנסות גבוהות ממס דיבידנד בטווח הקצר ללא גידול בקצב הצבירה של רווחים כלואים בשנים שלאחר מכן.
1/6
המאמר גם משתמש בנתונים כדי לתרום לדיון על רמת האי שוויון בהכנסות בישראל (אמל"ק - הוא לא יורד משמעותית ב15 שנים האחרונות) ובאחד הנספחים יש תוצאות מעניינות על פער ההכנסות בין גברים לנשים לישראל במאה הנוכחית.
נשמח לתגובות ושאלות!
שתהיה שבת שקטה.

New Working Paper (with Esteban Klor)!
We study how dividend tax reforms affect dividend payments, tax revenue, and the retention of earnings.
1/5
While both reforms triggered similar short-term responses, long-term effects differed. The permanent tax increase didn't reduce reported dividends in later years. However, the 2017 one-year cut led to a large decline in withdrawals, reflecting an increase in retained earnings
4/5
We also study how this affected income inequality, and analyze the distribution of retained earnings.
