🇮🇹 Oggi l'Istat ha pubblicato i dati del mercato del lavoro 🇮🇹 per Luglio. Cadono per l'ennesima volta nuovi record. Quello più bello e spettacolare: il tasso di disoccupazione femminile (👇) è al minimo storico. Come dico da 3 anni: la congiuntura è stra-or-di-na-ria.

#Draghi on #procrastination : "We have reached the point where, without action, we will have to either compromise our welfare, our environment or our freedom." Amen

Our response to Neumark's 2nd replication of our 2010 paper. JNR falls prey to problems with a TWFE model when using 1990s data. A clean DiD event study or just even data after 2000 (with most min wage increases) shows same thing: little effect on jobs. nber.org/papers/w32902 1/
