For countries that collect tax and non tax revenue from extractive resources, I explore to what extent can their *non-resource* revenues cover the day-to-day spending of government. (3/4)

In other words, if resource revenue were to suffer a negative shock (or spending needs a positive shock), to what extent would resource-dependent countries face severe budgetary shortfalls? Thanks to @UNUWIDER for funding via their #E4D project. (4/4).

Great thread ⬇️ – at Kampala, Uganda
NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university. American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀 Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years

This is unfortunately quite true. From any rational, decision-theoretic standpoint, the Economics profession under-invests in imperfectly identified analyses of big/important/relevant questions relative to well-identified but comparatively uninteresting questions.

Anyway, super happy to have this paper out. There's still so much we don't know about how PIT design & reform affects incentives, formalisation, wages, inequality outcomes etc. in LMICs. And there's still so much that we don't measure well: (7/n)

Better data on earnings distributions (both formal and informal) in LMICs will go a long way to helping unpack these puzzles. Check out the dataset for African countries here : odi.org/en/publications/the-… Latin America & Caribbean coming soon (!) (The end)
