- Really excited that this paper has finally found a home! See awesome thread by @sc_cath for a summary.🧵🚨Accepted paper🧪 with @mjmill611 (Harvard) and @NatashaRSarin (Yale) Existing studies paint an incomplete picture of trends in wealth inequality in the US. When Social Security is properly accounted for, wealth inequality has not really increased over the past three decades.
- 🧵🧪My coauthor Max Miller @mjmill611 has a great JMP 1⃣ Transitions from autocratic to democratic governments are periods of high risk-premia on stock markets. Why? Established elites fear the redistribution that often follows a successful democratization docs.google.com/viewer?url=htt…

- I’m shocked by the large difference between Iowa and Missouri. Would have thought lifestyle and diet are fairly similar between the two.The differences in life expectancy across the US are astonishing. Via @jeremybney medium.com/analytics-vidh…
- Really cool work by @SuproteemSarkar and @keyonV. My basic take-away is that (1) LLMs can’t selectively ignore part of their training data even when asked, and (2) we need LLMs trained over different sample horizons to get things right.Language models’ pretraining data includes information about historical events When we use LLMs to make economic predictions, do they leak information about the future? @keyonV and I develop tests that find evidence of lookahead bias in LLMs, and identify ways forward (1/n)
- Replying to @jessicasjeffers @johanhombert and 2 othersLast but not least (and continuing our apparent “leftist” agenda 😂) @mjmill611 shows democratizations cause large ⬆️ in risk premia, driven by risk of redistribution (away from elites who hold the assets ex ante) … And that’s it for our 2023 #PhDaward !
