My contribution to honor the memory of Alberto Alesina. His recent working paper with Michela Carlana, Eliana La Ferrara, and @paolopinotti78 is a teaching example in my discussion section with UChicago Economics undergraduate students today.

To all my fellow econ friends: Come submit your papers to #EMCON2020! A student-led conference focused on empirics and methods, jointly organized by UChicago Economics and Northwestern Economics. @Pietro_Tebaldi is this year's keynote speaker 🙌 #EconTwitter

Federico's JMP shows that fiscal reforms have a large impact on capital flows across financial institutions, which in turn affect investment fees, and asset prices. However, benefits are unevenly shared, as wealthier households are substantially more responsive to tax incentives.
