Zoomed in for a great discussion on CAโ€™s billionaire tax: @mattkahn1966 and Saez, moderated by @davidfromterra. Big Q is migration elasticity-Would people see this as a one-time tax shock or a signal of long-run policy risk? Makes me miss my days as a PhD student @USC_Econ.
Getting excited for this ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

One of my colleagues evidently got ahold of a photo of current and former students and me at the Midwest Econometrics Group Meeting at U of Cincinnati. This was on my office door. The same colleague who microwaves fish? (No, I wasnโ€™t actually wearing a crown.)
