Now
A running log of what I’m working on, reading, and thinking about, newest first. Each entry has its own link. Inspired by nownownow.com.
Working on
We released the housing report I’d been wrapping up: Building Affordability: The Policy Agenda for America’s Housing Crisis, my paper with Becky Chao and Ned Resnikoff. It is a roadmap for U.S. housing policy, read through the lens of broken markets and broken incomes. Check out the launch event!
Thinking about
Trying to understand Kevin Warsh’s theory of expectations and communication as he becomes the newest Fed chair.
Working on
I’m building out affordability topics at the Economic Security Project, primarily working on applying a broken markets and broken incomes from our The Affordability Framework to the housing market. Wrapping up a housing paper with my old friend Ned Resnikoff, which I’m excited to share with you soon. As a result, reading a lot about housing policy and economics research.
Writing
Continuing to build out my Substack, and finding ways I can use terminal-line Claude Code AI to do data analysis that I can quickly write-up for blog posts.
Reading
Arin Dube’s The Wage Standard which is excellent, hopefully more content on that soon.
