A study co-authored by @klpapps has warned the Government's free childcare expansion could see parents facing higher costs.
The @UniofBradford and @UniofBath have tracked nursery prices over 18 months, finding 'childcare deserts' face fast rising fees.

How do minimum wage adjustments affect menu prices?
A new @iza_bonn working paper from @AEI's @MichaelRStrain & @klpapps finds that a $1 minimum wage rise increased average prices by 7 cents, with prices increasing more for items that involve more labor to prepare.

New research out with @klpapps and @AlexanderBryson:
Using data on the running times of millions of people we find fitness is affected by economic conditions. People aged 50+ get faster during high unemployment but women u-30 and men u-50 get slower.

"Wages have not been growing in the UK because British workers have not been getting any more productive. That’s not because they lack “graft” ... but due to a complicated mess of past policy failures .. and a lack of investment by firms." bit.ly/3clEBAy
