New series for home sales and rental prices constructed from city newspaper listings shed light on housing markets from 1890 to 2006, from @ronanlyons, @econhist_allday, @RowenaGray6, and David N. Agorastos nber.org/papers/w32593
Today is a red-letter day for @econhist_allday, @RowenaGray6 & me. Delighted to be able to share the fruits of almost a decade of work. What happened housing prices in the US between 1890 and 2006? Our new work revises substantially the stylized facts of housing prices. Thread 👇
New report out today from @LK_Milliken @JeremyLNeufeld & @gregcwright on a wonky topic: Schedule A. It’s a little-known tool that would prioritize immigration in occupations for which there are insufficient numbers of U.S. workers to fill jobs.
@JeremyLNeufeld and I at @IFP teamed up with @gregcwright at @BrookingsInst to develop just the data-driven method that DOL needs. We’re calling it the Help Wanted Index and with it, we show what occupations could be included in Schedule A if it was updated
How can we accelerate scientific progress? New piece from me in @washingtonpost on how Congress could give NIH and NSF flexibility to fund good ideas more quickly, and how funders could give scientists more flexibility to pursue their most promising ideas. A quick summary…

Updated time series, Monthly CPS, foreign-born in working age, from our @EconoFactOrg with @ReemZaiour. Immigrants continue to catch-up after the drop of 2020-2021. Still 815,000 fewer immigrants in working age relative to the 2010-2019 linear trend.

Today @gregcwright and I argue in @thehill that Congress is making a mistake by letting our longest-standing adjustment program, TAA, expire. We need to be helping more displaced workers adapt to a changing economy- not less! thehill.com/opinion/financ…
I don't understand why this hasn't happened already. Biden can make Ukrainians eligible for TPS & Student Special Relief unilaterally. Doing so would help only Ukrainians already in US—not those newly fleeing— but the least we can do is decide not to send Ukrainians back to war

Because of the O-1 visa for immigrants of extraordinary ability, @alexeyguzey is here in the US building new institutions of science rather than conscripted in the Russian military. We should make it possible for more Alexeys to come here.
