Den Auftakt zum diesjährigen #UBSCenterPodium macht alt Bundesrat Ueli Maurer mit seinen Ausführungen zur Frage: Befindet sich der Föderalismus in der Krise?

Maurer: Der Föderalismus ist der Versuch, einen Ausgleich zu finden zwischen dem Bund und den Kantonen. Er ist für das Erfolgsmodell Schweiz ein wesentlicher Faktor. Daran darf man nicht rütteln.
Wer zahlt befielt. Das gilt bei uns im föderalen System nicht. Bei uns zahlt jeder etwas. Wir haben geteilte Entscheidungsmacht und geteilte Verantwortung.
We are about to kick off and our speakers are already warming up. We'll be tweeting live in this 🧵

And we're live! @joachim_voth opens tonight's session, introducing our speakers: Ignacio Palacios-Huerta at @LSEManagement and @sszy at @UMKines
Ignacio Palacios-Huerta explains the fascination around the game: The clan (football club), the temple (the stadium), the war (the enemy is the other club or another city or another country), and eternity (a shirt and a flag).
🧵 We're riding shotgun tonight. Here's a little thread on remote leadership with your's truly Ernst Fehr (@econ_uzh), @raffasadun and @Gerhard_Fehr.
Ernst Fehr is talking about evidence and challenges of work at home arrangements.
Key question: Do we have the technological capacities to work at home? And is it a trend or a sustainable transformation?

How to define the superrich? Wealth is a better indicator than income because it is less volatile.

Many wonder what will happen if Trump is reelected. But what happens if Biden wins the race? Will he implement his tax reform and make the superrich pay more? And if so, would this help fight inequality? Let's hear tax expert @Florian_Scheuer thoughts on this in today's webinar👇🏻
The Webinar has started. Ernst Fehr: "The discussion about inequalities and taxes is even more important in face of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic - which creates new inequalities.

To kick off the discussion, @BrankoMilan talks about the development of inequality over time. Inequality between countries peaked in the early 2000s, declining in the last 20 years due to the rise of Asia (though still at a high level).

Currie and Dorn report from their respective research that both health inequality (measured by mortality rates) and income inequality are more pronounced in the US than in Europe (France/Switzerland). Can these differences be explained by in the different political systems?
