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.

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

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.
