My colleagues Warwick Economics are incredible: those who produce impactful research, those who teach & mentor creative students, & those who enable the magic. What a recognition by REF2021. It's been a treat to work in the 2nd econ dept in UK! I better keep up the good work!

But empirical work Oxford University Centre for Business Taxation by Ben Lockwood Li Liu and others supports this view and has caused rethink. Let us hope that rethink makes an impression on policy makers.Freezing the threshold in then UK is a start. Don’t think variable rate would be acceptable.2/2

Thanks Michael Keen for highlighting my joint work with Eddy HF Tam and Li Liu on the effects of the VAT threshold on small firm growth in the UK-there are significant and long-lasting negative consequences

At HMRC Stakeholder Conference. Absolutely packed, showing strong desire to provide input to HMRC. A pity FST cannot be present in person to interact with stakeholders ( she is pre- recorded).

Is Economics self-correcting? We have a new discussion paper, joint with N Fiala & @flneubauer. Quick answer is: No, rather not. We reviewed all replications published as comments in the AER. Plus, we surveyed the authors. A short thread 1/. bit.ly/3y0wMYp #EconTwitter
