Did anyone predict that this admin would give more visas to Indian IT outsourcing companies? Because with its new regulatory change to the H-1B, that's what it's doing. In @CityJournal with my colleague @JeremyLNeufeld. city-journal.org/article/trump-…

Core goods prices have risen 1.38% year-to-date, while just durable goods (appliances, automobiles, electronics, etc) have risen 1.47% year-to-date. The latter is, other than the pandemic, the strongest 8-month rise since September 1994. Many durable goods are tariff-sensitive.

AI economists and AI researchers: this is *excellent*. Details below, but as I feel like I've said in every talk on this topic since my slides said "GPT-2", 1) AI technical capabilities are better and improving quicker than you think, 2) impact on economy *much* slower. 1/13

Earlier this year, the President’s budget proposed a 40% cut to the NIH budget. This sparked an obvious research question: What if the NIH had been 40% smaller in previous years? Here’s what Pierre Azoulay, Danielle Li, Bhaven Sampat, and I found when we looked at grants that…

People say to me all the time "Matt, this zoning stuff is great but are there are any creative ways we could come up with to make housing scarcer and more expensive -- maybe using an obviously bogus national security pretext?" Welcome to the strategic bathroom vanity reserve.

Terrific @WSJopinion piece by @LettieriDC on the best way to reform H1B: turn it into an auction, and let the market decide who the most valuable skilled immigrants are.

Yes. Nothing says “Kaldor–Hicks efficiency” like eating away at social surplus with tariffs, then using the nonexistent gains to bail out the people you just hurt. Link in the next post.

My letter to @WSJ on the H-1B rule: "There is a better way to achieve the president’s stated goal: Let markets work . . . The result would be certainty for employers, rewards to genuine scarcity and maximum upside for America’s economy."

We can have an adult conversation about H-1Bs that doesn't devolve into hysterics. About 20% of H-1Bs change employers every year. The rate for the overall workforce is about 25%. We can and should close that gap by removing frictions to job mobility in the H-1B program.

This is an outstanding lesson in "policy outcomes don't care about your intentions." Thankfully, DHS is accepting comments on the proposed rule. There is still time to correct the big mistakes made here.
