The 100K H-1B fee is the biggest opportunity for the UK yet to revive economic growth and business dynamism.

Now let’s drop those visa fees and NHS surcharges right away to send a clear signal and reap the benefits!

We're hiring a research associate or research manager for a project in the DRC! This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in gaining very hands-on research and work experience in a low-income country in partnership with the local government. Also a great preparation for a PhD.

Another gorgeous New England day, another amazing liberal arts college! Awesome talking to Mount Holyoke students about the @uniofstandrews.bsky.social MPP

David A. Jaeger (econ) @davidajaeger.bsky.social · 27d

I’ve visited a bunch of amazing liberal arts colleges in the last few days. But it is a special pleasure to return to my alma mater, @williamseconomics.bsky.social From the Purple Mountains to the North Sea would be a great path… to study the MPP at @uniofstandrews.bsky.social !
