In Europe, taxation exemption on dividends distributed to holdings is very generous. A 5 percent stake gives a 95% exemption. In the US, it is only 50%. Aligning Europe to the US: alternative to the Zucman tax?@LevyAntoine @FrancoisGeerolf @XJaravel @augustinlandier @sc_cath

Great statement from Asna Tabassum, the student whose words and presence USC found to be ‘a threat to safety’

"I am not surprised by those who attempt to propagate hatred. I am surprised that my own university—my home for four years—has abandoned me."
Every line of USC valedictorian Asna Tabassum's statement is brilliant, heartbreaking and infuriating cair.com/wp-content/uploads/…

I’m devastated to hear the news of Dr. Tatiana Melguizo’s unexpected death last Friday. I worked with Tatiana for several years and she was an incredible educational scholar with a commitment to equity. Dr. Melguizo will be deeply missed.

Moscovici m'a toujours semble pas tres fameux mais la il s'est depasse. Ne pas interferer impliquer evidemment ne pas changer la date. Penser le contraire est le signe de betise et/ou de mauvaise foi criarde.
Qu’aurait- on dit si la @Courdescomptes avait publié son rapport entre la motion de rejet et la CMP: entorse à la séparation des pouvoirs, pression sur le Parlement souverain, prise de position politique indue? Il faut savoir raison garder! tf1info.fr/societe/video-loi…

Pensées toutes particulières pour Philippe Martin, économiste hors-pair et esprit fin, qui fut mon camarade de lycée (déjà brillant) à #MarieCurie (nos parents étaient amis) et que j'avais revu récemment, avec le même plaisir 🤍Ses obsèques ont lieu ce jour à #SaintEustache 🕊️RIP

Economist Daniel Cohen has died. He introduced economics to generations of students at Ecole Normale Supérieure; quite a few became leaders in that field. He was one of the best teachers and science disseminators I experienced in any field—unforgettable. lemonde.fr/disparitions/arti…

A future Indiana Jones movie could be based on this QJE paper. My @USC_Econ colleague Thomas Chaney co-authored a very important paper.

Je suis sous le choc. Nous sommes tellement nombreux à avoir découvert l’économie grâce à lui. Daniel était curieux, brillant, ouvert à toutes les idées. Quelle tristesse. lemonde.fr/disparitions/arti…

We lost yesterday a brilliant thinker and a wonderful friend. Still in disbelief.

Au-delà de tout le reste, je retiens de Daniel Cohen sa capacité à appuyer sans réserve les travaux d'autres que lui qui n'avaient ni sa verve, ni son statut. Il va beaucoup nous manquer.
L'économiste Daniel Cohen est mort ce dimanche. Pédagogue, il était notamment spécialiste de la dette souveraine. En septembre 2022, il dressait le portrait d'une nouvelle civilisation : l’Homo Numericus radiofrance.fr/franceculture…
