More evidence that just giving low-income adults money isn’t enough to meaningfully improve their lives…
1000 low income adults were randomly selected to receive $1000/month for 3 years, with a control group receiving $50/month over that same period. Many of them had children in the household. How did it affect how they parented and their kids?

I am grateful to Ed for his mentorship and to SAET for inviting me to give this lecture.
Extremely frustrating that all of the lessons of the past (e.g. the reason for high rents is housing scarcity, rent control creates more scarcity and makes the housing problem worse) have to be painfully learnt again.
Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.
Great session! see you there if not before. :-)

I had a great time at this conference and learned a lot from it. I highly recommend it.

The Essen Health Conference 2025 promises to delve into some interesting topics!
Wonderful news from Romania. It would have been tragic for Europe if they had elected a Putin-Orban hooligan. Ah! And after a Pope with a degree in Math, we got in Dan a Romanian president with two consecutive perfect scores in the math olympiad.
Very glad to see this paper out.
Using frailty as the measure of health, a new paper by @roozbeh52, @KopeckyEcon and Zhao, recently accepted to #REStud, finds that health inequality accounts for 28 percent of lifetime earnings inequality. restud.com/how-important-… #EconSky #health #frailty #disability
