Have you ever heard of the conspiracy theory that Paul McCartney of The Beatles died in an accident in '66 and was then replaced by a doppelganger? It is a fan-favorite, and last weekend I decided to see if we could give empirical proof for this in a DiD-framework.🧵

Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, I'm thinking about this little boy, the same age as my kids, proudly showing a flower to another child, outside a gas chamber at Auschwitz, where they were all murdered moments later. It is so important for us all to remember what happened.

We will need both temporary and permanent migration, which is why we at

@labor_mobility

are working on solutions like visa portability. Temporary mobility does not = "employer-sponsored visas".

Migration could prevent a looming population crisis. But there are catches

"Population decline" is a mild way to describe what could be a global demographic crisis, according to experts. But while migration may be the obvious solution, politics could get in the way.

This looks like a great study. I anticipate ethics blowback, so let me say that if you (like me) are in the sample, you have to try extra hard to convince me your complaint has merit. I find the study unproblematic and super important. I wish individual effects were identifiable.
