Knowledge spillovers are key to growth but hard to estimate. Randomly giving out energy-efficient motors to leather-goods firms in Bangladesh led to strong local spillovers, from Ritam Chaurey, Gaurav Nayyar, Siddharth Sharma, and @ericverhoogen.bsky.social https://www.nber.org/papers/w34296

Short version: using two county-level difference-in-difference strategies, we show that the Act had significant employment effects that began with a Senate precursor bill (USICA) and anticipated the actual CHIPS awards. Check it out. Final version will be posted soon.

It was a real pleasure to present at the @brookings.edu BPEA conference on Thursday, a new paper on the employment effects of the CHIPS Act in the US, with @josephestiglitz.bsky.social and @bilgeerten.bsky.social. Video, slides, and preliminary draft are here: www.brookings.edu/events/bpea-...

ICYMI: I wrote a piece about the economic writings and views of Donald Harris. Lots of interesting intellectual history in there, going back to the Cambridge Capital Controversy, etc.

The Economic Philosophy of Donald Harris
The Trump campaign has portrayed the Vice-President’s father as a Marxist. He insists he’s been caricatured.

The Mill was a small NYC Korean restaurant two blocks from Columbia University. It closed in August 2021.

For more than 60 years it quietly stood for the best of the United States. If I had to guess, I would say very very very few people know this story.

Thinking about the Mill this week.
