Yep, these are some of the biggest investments (including I believe the biggest one?) in US history, and rightly require suites of complementary policies and inputs.

This is economic development, not just widget maximization.
On the list of things I am worrying about, governors not returning Intel's calls is not up there.

We should

A) Recognize governments in democracies are responsible for multiple objectives

B) Optimizing across these objectives are features, not bugs, of public investment, as @STOmarova and I wrote here for @DemJournal.

A Tale of Two Industrial Policies:

How America and Europe Can Turn Trade Tensions Into Climate Progress

This year's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland turned at times into a freeform airing of grievances by EU lawmakers over Biden's Inflation Reduction Act and the impact it could have on EU producers.

Strong second.

I loved working with terrific editors @monkeycageblog, including @ejgraff @ErikVoeten @henryfarrell @vanessa_lide @ProfSaunders @segoddard and others, who helped make my academic and policy commentary legible to a wider audience.

11 hits of gratitude. Thread👇
When I had just defended my dissertation and was on the job market, @ErikVoeten encouraged me to try to develop some of my arguments around #ISDS for a policy audience. It ended up becoming a section of my book Judge Knot.
