Indians in America are a very positively selected group that my upcoming research with @ManhattanInst finds Indians are the MOST positive national-origin group for the economy and federal budget.
Indians in the U.S. are good people, hard workers, law abiding, & highly educated.

H-1B should be corrected so that its goal is to bring in top talent and that talent is free to switch employers. Right now, the H-1B does give firms unfair leverage.

There is a great retrospective in the WSJ today on how the UK's post-Brexit experiment with big increases in legal immigration went wrong.
Their mistakes yield some important policy lessons for supporters *and* critics of skilled immigration. Let's dive in:

I'm out with a big new report this morning on the state of Ohio's high-tech workforce.
Silicon Heartland, as it's called, goes deep on the Midwest's storied engineering talent pipelines and offers some suggestions for drawing on this tradition to aid reindustrialization.
Great news for YIMBYs! Critics are celebrating the huge successes of upzoning for high-density, mixed-use residential neighborhoods, but they're rebranding it as "post-neoliberalism." Who cares, call it whatever you want — we'll take the win.

NEW: You've probably seen this viral NY Fed chart on unemployment for recent grads by major. It's a table that's spawned a thousand hot takes about higher ed funding, the death of CS, and even immigration.
But look under the hood and you'll find it's deeply misleading. 1/
Rising unemployment among recent college graduates is not correlated with exposure to AI, per a new @InnovateEconomy paper from @ngoldschlag + @SarahEckha89223.
Recent grads most exposed to AI actually have much *lower* unemployment.
H1-B Visas are critical for helping alleviate the severe physician shortage this nation faces. We cannot train enough American Doctors fast enough. We can’t let lack of knowledge of the importance of this program to affect patient care.
Can policymakers really steer AI innovation without risking the loss of its biggest benefits?
In Agglomerations, @ngoldschlag explores the challenges of this approach — and why history warns against trying to outguess emerging tech.

This chart shows a sharp drop in 30-year-old homeowners, but it’s smuggling in a second trend—declining marriage rates. Yes, homeownership is down, but not by nearly that much. Here’s the breakdown and the figure you should be using:

I don't mean to dunk on this knife guy - really, I don't - but "tariff my competitors, not my inputs" is abt the most cliché (and hypocritical) protectionism there is - and it's a big reason why tariffs don't work.

What can we learn about protectionism and globalization from 100 years of the auto industry? This is the topic of my newest research. eig.org/myths-and-less…
In a new letter to Congress penned by @InnovateEconomy, a bipartisan group of more than 80 economists have called for proper funding and modernization of the U.S. statistical agencies.
The way that Teachout's terrible NYT op-ed was aggressively mocked, the disappearance of MMT, the YIMBY's understanding deeply the costs of regulation, tariffs losing all support on the left... It feels to me neoliberalism is gaining steam on the left
I have been waiting to write this piece for a long time. I think people are misinterpreting the lessons from the China Shock open.substack.com/pub/agglomerat…
A 25% tariff on Japan and Korea will make it more expensive to produce goods in the USA.
47% of US imports from Japan are capital goods.
43% of US imports from Korea are capital goods.
Capital goods = "goods that are used in producing other goods"
New from me: The "urban family exodus" is over, for now.
In 2024, large declines in the number of young kids living in large urban counties stopped. But major cities are nowhere close to recovering from pandemic-era losses.
