Es gibt kaum ein Land, das Arbeit stärker und #Vermögen geringer besteuert, als 🇩🇪 . Das ist schlechte #Finanzpolitik, denn es schwächt #Wachstum. Eine #Wirtschaftswende erfordert eine Entlastung von Arbeit/geringen Einkommen & eine stärkere Belastung von großen Vermögen.

Have job-to-job transitions really declined over the past two decades?

At least part of the observed decline in the U.S. may be due to non-response bias in the labor force survey as this new paper finds: pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/...
