Homebuyers and economists alike closely watch indicators for changes in home prices. How do policies that expand access to credit affect those prices? Our article from Ken Cowles explores the research from @kuhnmo, @farzado, and @mr_autumn: bit.ly/4czY9vR
In the second half of the essay they estimate the effects of the RSAA, the bipartisan bill reintroduced this year that would extend retirement access to workers who lack an employer-sponsored option. Check it out! [4/4] eig.org/wp-content/upl…
More specifically, lower-income workers have worse access to stocks because of fewer retirement-savings options and worse access to housing markets because they struggle to get mortgages approved. [3/4]
They ask which matters more: the extensive margin (differences in participation by decile in asset markets like stocks and housing) or the intensive margin (differences in amount invested by income decile in these assets). The answer was clear — participation matters more. [2/4]
Wealth-to-income ratios unsurprisingly rise with higher incomes (high-earning workers accumulate more wealth *per dollar of income*). In our new guest essay for The American Worker Project, economists @PavelBrendler and @kuhnmo look at which factor accounts for the trend. [1/4]
In the latest from EIG’s American Worker Project, @PavelBrendler and @kuhnmo model how the Retirement Savings for Americans Act (RSAA) can help bring retirement security to millions of workers. Read more: eig.org/wp-content/upl…
Check the guest essay from @kuhnmo and @PavelBrendler for more on wealth, income, and an estimate of the impact the Retirement Savings for Americans Act would have on the wealth gap! I'll be making some summaries of their results soon... eig.org/wp-content/upl…

Guter Kommentar zur Arbeitsweise des öffentlichen Dienstes in Deutschland: Deutschland, eine Juristenrepublik faz.net/einspruch/juri…
Vielleicht auch ein Ausschnitt, den sich deutsche Politiker mal anschauen sollten, die immer wieder Verhandlungen mit Putin fordern. Der amerikanische Präsident sagt es hier recht klar, was man von Putin in Gesprächen bekommt.
President Trump: "We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless."
Empfehlenswerter F.A.Z. Beitrag: "Ist das Jammern der Deutschen gerechtfertigt?" Der Artikel erklärt den Unterschied zwischen Nominal- und Realwachstum der Einkommen und macht letztendlich klar, warum eine ökonomische Grundbildung wichtig für alle ist. 👍 faz.net/aktuell/finanz…
