@lukaslehner.bsky.socialRecent #BasicIncome #UBI and #JobGuarantee trials #JG show promise: both provide a buffer between people and abject poverty, but also level the playing field with employers, allowing workers to opt out of bad jobs and working conditions that companies would otherwise have no pressure to improve. 1/2
@lukaslehner.bsky.socialIn the @econfip.bsky.social podcast, I discussed with Suresh Naidu and Ralph Ranalli what we can learn from recent pilots: www.youtube.com/shorts/gtt7p...

@lukaslehner.bsky.socialUniversal basic income (#UBI) and job guarantee (#JG) programs are often pitted against one another but in reality they're actually very complementary and offer similar benefits to different people at difference stages of their lives, while leveling the playing field in the labor market. 1/2
@econfip.bsky.socialReposted by @lukaslehner.bsky.socialEconomist Lukas Lehner says research shows that universal basic income and job guarantee programs, often pitted against one another, actually work well together. Catch Lehner on the Economics for Inclusive Prosperity podcast Wednesday with co-host Suresh Naidu. #EFIP

@lukaslehner.bsky.socialKünstliche Intelligenz verändert die Tätigkeiten in vielen Berufen, weg von der Produktion hin zur Supervision. Gute Ausbildungen, wie ein Uni-Abschluss, bleiben aber wichtig für gute Chancen am Arbeitsmarkt.
Darüber habe ich mit der @kleinezeitung.at gesprochen.

@lukaslehner.bsky.socialIt’s usually CV & Cover letter for faculty positions in the UK. The details should be specified on the application portal.
@lukaslehner.bsky.social🚨 We are hiring 🚨 I have joined the Quantitative Social Science group at @sriucl.bsky.social this month and am happy to answer questions to interested applicants. Feel free to reach out.
@lukaslehner.bsky.social@lukaslehner.bsky.socialLabor market power comes from two sides: employers' buyer power and workers' power. Wages suffer most where employers dominate and workers are unorganized. Strong unions counteract but also suffer from employer power.
Nice summary by @inetoxford.bsky.social of our work on #Walmart.
@lukaslehner.bsky.socialI remember how inspired I felt in 2020 when Economics for Inclusive Prosperity @econfip.bsky.social was launched and I had just started my PhD.
I wouldn't have imagined being on their podcast a couple of years later with Suresh Naidu. Watch out for the episode on #JobGuarantee and #BasicIncome.
@econfip.bsky.socialReposted by @lukaslehner.bsky.socialEconomist and EFIP member Lukas Lehner says inequality must be urgently made a priority at the international level. Look for an upcoming episode with Lukas on the Economics for Inclusive Prosperity podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
@lukaslehner.bsky.socialExtreme inequality and poverty are defining problems of our time. That's why it needs an International Panel on Inequality (IPI) linked to the UN secretariat.

@yonatanberman.comReposted by @lukaslehner.bsky.socialHappy to see our paper on dividend tax reforms out in Fiscal Studies (@theifs.bsky.social)!
On a conceptual note, dividend tax is unusual among widely used taxes: it falls heavily on the top 1% (and barely at all on the bottom 90%), while still having the potential to raise substantial revenue

@lukaslehner.bsky.socialWelcome to @ucl.ac.uk @sriucl.bsky.social, Ulysse. Excited for you to join!
@lukaslehner.bsky.socialUnusual job this weekend: filming about the #JobGuarantee at UCL in the same location featured in Christopher Nolan’s #Inception. 🎬
@pengzell.bsky.socialReposted by @lukaslehner.bsky.socialNext at the @nuffieldcollege.bsky.social Atkinson Conference: @janetgornick.bsky.social keynote on cross-national inequality data and the history of @lisdata.bsky.social.
@lukaslehner.bsky.socialNice to be back in Oxford for the inaugural #AtkinsonInequalityConference at @nuffieldcollege.bsky.social and @dspi-oxford.bsky.social.
Congrats @zparolin.bsky.social for putting this together.
