You don’t want immigrants? Then tell grandma she can never retire. The latest from @washingtonpost columnist @crampell. bit.ly/49QoQte
Less than 1,400 units of housing were permitted in the San Francisco metro area last quarter, the lowest amount since Q1 2012. Total disaster For context, metro Austin permitted 8,400 units and metro DC permitted 5,600 over the same time period. Even metro Omaha permitted 1,900.

If govt wants academics to do more practical work: (a) improve the quality and availability of data. Nobody can provide real-time analysis of data that are released with a 2-5 year lag. (b) increase social science funding at NSF to provide public goods not just QJE's. 1/4

I think we would be better off if US academics could provide high-quality real-time policy analysis. In the US we largely rely on back-of-the-envelope analyses by think tanks. I don't blame them, the limiting factor isn't the knowledge/empirical skills, it is the data. 4/4
