I forbade Dylan from writing about the minimum wage, as my advisors once forbade me. He defied me, and I'm very glad of it.

An awesome project using incredible firm-level data to understand how wage, employment, and price effects of MW changes connect to theory.

Why do min wage studies disagree?
New data shows firms just below the new min add jobs and cut prices. Those at the old one do the reverse. That's new evidence of monopsony.
Firm mixes—not models—differ by hike.

My student @IsaacNorwich has an excellent paper digging into the economics of tipping. You may hate seeing tip requests invade every aspect of retail, but it turns out there are good reasons why firms (and workers!) are happy to ask for them!

Who benefits from tipping? Tracing customer tips to paychecks, @IsaacNorwich's JMP finds workers keep about 77% as a raise. Firms gain from higher productivity, not just lower wages, because tips reward effort. Read Isaac's paper: economics.uchicago.edu/directory/isaa…

Another nice extension from living science! And a great starting point for exploring china shock empirics yourself.

People with strong views on the underlying DiD here will be interested in the choices our agent made, as well as the results on non-manufacturing outcomes.

I saw a lot of discussions on the China syndrome yesterday here. Coincidently, we chose the same paper for this week's living science update.

Our extension focused on manufacturing jobs per 100 working-age adults. We find that the damage kept growing long after the shock ended. Manufacturing losses in exposed places deepened for another decade, reaching the size of the paper's headline estimate around 2018. Most of that gap was still there in 2023. Average local wages have recovered, but the manufacturing jobs did not come back.

Why should important results be frozen in time at the moment they’re published? The world isn’t static, and our evidence shouldn’t be either.

AI allows us to continuously update influential work with new data and methods.

Let us know what you want to see us tackle next!

Excited to announce Living Science!

Papers have been the de facto unit of knowledge in science. But science is not static and a paper is not meant to be the final destination, especially in empirical research. Empowered by AI agents, we're revisiting influential research as new data, models, and methods arrive, starting with economics.
