1/7 📉 The late 90s and 2000s were characterized by low interest rates and tax cuts.

While these policies were intended to stimulate the economy, they’ve also had significant implications for wealth inequality in the United States. #economics #inequality
2/7 💵 Low interest rates make borrowing cheaper.

This can benefit wealthy individuals and corporations who have access to credit, enabling them to invest in businesses, real estate, and other assets that can generate wealth. #interestrates #wealthgap
3/7 🏦 For ordinary Americans, however, low interest rates can mean reduced returns on savings.

With little to no growth on their savings, it becomes harder for the middle class to build wealth. #savings #middleclass

1/10: Just listened to an episode of @99piorg about Balikbayan boxes. These are large boxes filled with goods that Filipinos living abroad send back home.

My wife and I send these boxes frequently. It's a fascinating blend of economics and culture.
2/10: The Balikbayan box system is a testament to the power of remittances. Filipinos abroad send an estimated $33 billion back home annually. That's about 10% of the Philippines' GDP.

10%!
3/10: The economic impact of these boxes is profound. They're filled with goods that are often cheaper or unavailable in the Philippines, but also with stuff that just help make families feel connected.

Today, many startup founders wonder how to write a great blurb for their firms. Well, it's not rocket science, but effort has to be there! A twitter thread...

#startups #blurb #intro #pitch #gist #economics #business #finance #investment Image
A great blurb always helps startup owners effectively introduce their products & services to their target audience. Besides increasing the sales, a short yet crispy blurb can also attract investors for startup funding. It can be a tool to attract the best talents, too. #HR #IT
Your startup blurb should be different for different purposes, but here’s what a great blurb should consist of:

-A pitch within 25 words.
-Use bullet points to highlight relevant stuff.
-Additional context

Tack @Kvalitetsaktie för er ovärderliga utbildning och inspiration. Satt i helgen lyssnade, antecknade & njöt när ni diskuterade er filosofi (avs 108), världsklass! Tänkte dela med mig av en summering av KAP-filosofin. OBS: är en glad amatör så res för div fel & misstolkningar Image
KAP citat #1

"The basic ideas of investing are to look at stocks as business, use the market's fluctuations to your advantage, and seek a margin of safety. That's what Ben Graham taught us. A hundred years from now, they will still be the cornerstones of investing," /Buffett Image
Marknaden är på kort sikt irrationell men rationell på lång. Detta använder man till sin fördel och utnyttjar felprissättningar. Sen tillkommer trender, flockbeteende och indexvikt. "Vem vill du helst sälja dina aktier till, en indexfond som automatiskt viktar upp eller Ola?" Image

Excellent talk by Simon Sharpe @INETOxford just now, pointing out how the #climate crisis challenges economic #orthodoxy in several ways. Spoiler 🔥"Economics as a discipline has forgotten what the scientific method is" (@camjhep pointing to #heterodox ideas in defense)🧵
💡The premise: To meet our #climate goals, we need to reduce emissions globally by about 8% per year by 2030, as compared to the 1,5% p.a. achieved so far - hence the title of his book #FiveTimesFaster
1⃣ An #economy going through the rapid and far-reaching systems #transition this requires (acc. to @IPCC_CH) cannot be analysed in terms of #equilibrium, a sitation in which "nobody has any immediate reason to change their actions" according to the Oxford Dictionary of Economics. Image

1/9: Monetary policy shapes a country's economic landscape. It involves central banks managing money supply, interest rates, and inflation. A sound policy ensures financial stability, economic growth, and stable inflation. #Crypto Image
2/9: Objectives of monetary policy typically focus on price stability, maintaining low and stable inflation rates. This is crucial for promoting economic growth and consumer confidence. High inflation erodes purchasing power, while deflation leads to decreased spending.
3/9: Another objective is full employment, where everyone who wants to work can find a job. Unemployment can cause social and economic problems. Monetary policy helps address these issues by stimulating job creation and growth. #EconomicGrowth

When students of statistics are introduced to creating and interpreting models, they are introduced to George Box's maxim:

*All models are wrong, some are useful.*

We're about to enter a new chapter of capitalism. Where we eliminate labour from the productivity equation. GDP will not be tethered to labour, meaning it will become unbounded. It's gonna get weird fast.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s #shortstory “The Bottle Imp” was first published (in English) #OTD, 8 Feb 1891, in the New York Herald. It was originally published in #Samoan translation as “O le Fagu Aitu” in the missionary magazine O le sulu Samoa (The Samoan Torch)

Interesting for all sorts of reasons—a #Hawaiian protagonist, a strong female character—“The Bottle Imp” is wonderfully elegant, & moves like a Swiss watch. It also contains a paradox, which arguably undermines Rational Choice Theory in #economics

1/ Allow me to share a simple spiel with my economist friends about digital currency.

I'll preface this very carefully. A lot of economists love numbers and systems, naturally. Sadly, most of the economists I met analyse things through the lense of the current system.
#economics
2/ Meaning that they will analyse things under the assumption that the underlying framework and mechanisms are the same.

That's fine 99.9% of the time and over time, specialization will do this.

Alas, we are in a time where the framework will be radically changed.
3/ Therefore I ask of you, if you want to play along, to consider things under a principalled or fundamental lense. In essence, what new rules a new framework would entail and then start juggling with these.

Let's learn a few things about Behavioral Economics and Behavioral Science

🧵

#EconTwitter #AcademicTwitter #phdlife @PhDVoice #economics

(1/9)
Behavioral Economics focuses on how behavior affects economic decisions and outcomes, while Behavioral Science focuses on the study of behavior more broadly and its influences across multiple domains.

While they are related, they differ in their scope and focus.

(2/9)
Behavioral economics (BE) emerged as a response to the traditional assumption that people are perfectly rational and make decisions based solely on self-interest. It recognized that people's decisions are often influenced by factors such as framing, heuristics, and biases.

.@FT's @sarahoconnor_
I also think that making economics more understandable is a worthy endeavour, especially right now....Because the profession suffers from what Andy Haldane, former chief economist at the Bank of England, calls a “twin deficit”, of understanding and of trust.
@FT @sarahoconnor_ "In a UK survey in 2019, 40 per cent of respondents said it had become more difficult to understand economics."
"Part of this is a translation problem. Most economic concepts are not complicated, but they’re couched in a language that makes no sense to people who don’t speak it."

You can be forgiven for thinking the Great #Inflation Story is how a pandemic, a senseless war, and #monopolistic price-gouging temporarily drove up prices, prompting calls to crush workers and suppress wages in order to "reduce demand" for goods:
