If politicians truly want to support working women or the family unit, there are evidence-based, cost-effective solutions. 💡Cut back on child-care regulations and bring in more low-skilled immigrant workers. 🔗Read my latest at Liya Palagashvili's substack bit.ly/3ACUqOZ

United States is also more pro-worker than Europe. Less restrictive labor laws => firms compete for workers more, including by giving them a larger share of the gains. US graph declined a bit, but it's silly to "fix" it by adopting European-style labor regulations.

I urge the George Mason University students, especially those studying George Mason Economics, to join The Economics Society at George Mason University - the Economics Society at GMU. I had my some great friends through it and I am still rocking the cool t-shirts from the time when Liya Palagashvili was our president 🙂

It's true, we had the coolest undergrad Econ club. How many other economics students carved supply & demand into a pumpkin!? #econtwitter

Alex Zevelev ✡️ from 🇺🇦 😋 Ok so I can never compete with Ukrainian borscht, but here’s my Armenian/Georgian version of it!

Liya Palagashvili I cannot love this pic/memory enough!!! And yes I did use to exaggerate that Liya was only 14 when she came to study with us, but as you can see she was really young and already wicked smart and amazing. Born ready for greatness she was!!!!

This is great! So proud to have tylercowen as friend, colleague and co-author!

As one of those immigrants from the Soviet Union, I can attest to everything tylercowen is saying here. The American Dream is alive, and I am a living representation of it.

I wrote on exactly this point in FORTUNE fortune.com/2024/07/29/tru… It's a myth to say Europe is "pro-worker." In the article I talk about Italy as one example. Employment situation there is awful. Workers have to LEAVE Italy to find a job. How is that pro-worker?

Filip Jolevski you reminded me that as president of the club, I encouraged the Econ students to form a volleyball team…we got creative with the t-shirts here too 😂 #econtwitter

Liya Palagashvili I love that T-shirt!!! It was such a great group! Not only an intellectually stimulating, but also a great community which created lots of long lasting friendships

🚨 New paper on very relevant topic of higher tipped minimum wage! 📄 - Widen hourly pay gaps between minority & white women. - Regular minimum wages shrink these gaps, driven by non-tipped workers. ⚠️ May reduce employment. 👉 bit.ly/4dgc5de

I grew up with this poster on my bedroom wall … how many here remember these lessons from their youth — sports can be the best teacher; the school of rules to live by

Pro-worker policies? Liya Palagashvili lists 5: 1. Entrepreneurial environment 2. New & diverse ways of income-generating opportunities 3. Redesign labor unions to be voice for all workers 4. Reduce counterproductive regs 5. Constructive safety net policies liyapalagashvili.substack.com/p/5-ways-ameri…

The inherent trade-offs in a 'pro-worker' policy agenda. Is the goal to maximize job security (like they do in Europe) or to maximize work opportunities (like we do in the U.S.)? 👇 liyapalagashvili.substack.com/p/from-the-arc… Remember: There are no solutions, only trade-offs!
