Adam Ozimek, Chief Economist at the Economic Innovation Group, joins the podcast to discuss his latest proposal to reform and replace the high-skilled immigration program in the U.S. (better known as H-1B). In addition to immigration policy, the group discusses remote work, the softening of recent economic data, and the prospects for the year ahead. Finally, the group goes around the horn with its recession probability for the next 12 months.Guest: Adam Ozimek – Chief Economist of the Economic Innovation GroupAdam Ozimek's research on high skilled immigration: https://eig.org/exceptional-by-design%20/Hosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X', BlueSky or LinkedIn @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn 

In this week's episode, Senior Advisor Theresa Cardinal Brown sits down with Dr. Adam Ozimek, Chief Economist at the Economic Innovation Group, and Connor O'Brien, Research and Policy Analyst at EIG, to explore their latest report, Exceptional by Design: How to Fix High-Skilled Immigration to Maximize American Interests. They discuss the economic benefits of high-skilled immigration, challenge common misconceptions shaping current policy debates, and outline reforms needed to ensure the United States remains globally competitive.  Exceptional by Design: How to Fix High-Skilled Immigration to Maximize American Interests: https://eig.org/exceptional-by-design/ 

On today's episode, Cardiff chats with his EIG colleagues Adam Ozimek, chief economist, and Connor O'Brien, research analyst, about the one policy that achieves all three of the following goals simultaneously: It massively boosts the rate of economic growth through its effects on entrepreneurship, innovation, and the creation of entire new industries.It reduces inequality.Not only does it cost the taxpayers nothing, it actually saves them huge sums of money. That policy is the expansion of high-skilled immigration, a subject that became a source of contentious debate within the American right not long after the 2024 election. As it happens, Adam and Connor are the co-authors (with John Lettieri) of a big new report, Exceptional by Design, which explains how to design a high-skilled immigration that will maximize its benefits for American workers, businesses, and communities. In this chat, the three discuss: How bad thinking has led to bad policy The surprisingly nuanced economics of high-skilled immigrationThree myths about high-skilled immigrationThe flaws in the current system A new policy vision to change itThe three close with a discussion of why high-skilled immigration carries so much promise for the United States in particular — and the enormous, self-inflicted damage of failing to capitalize on it.

On this episode of Infill, YIMBY Law's Executive Director Sonja Trauss speaks with Dr. Adam Ozimek, Chief Economist for the Economic Innovation Group about their idea to get the federal government more involved in housing policy. Pro-housing advocates understand that we need to incentivize local governments to remove barriers to building new homes. The Economic Innovation Group has come up with a new idea called "Density Zones" to empower local governments to facilitate more building by incentivizing them with rewards from the federal government proportional to the number of new homes built. So, how would this work? The first step would be the federal government developing standardized zoning and building code drawn from best practices nationwide. Then, municipalities would have the ability to adopt this code for specific areas within their jurisdiction. These standardized best practices would help streamline building by providing a set of rules that developers can use to operate with. Finally, areas that meet the program's targets would be rewarded with "Density Dividends," which could be used to do things like building infrastructure or new schools to accommodate the new homes. Tune in to learn more about the ideas that the Economic Innovation Group are working on, and how they think "Density Zones" could make it easier for state and local governments to their tackle housing shortages. Learn more about Density Zones: https://agglomerations.substack.com/p/how-the-next-president-can-solveLearn more about the Economic Innovation Group: https://eig.org/Learn more about YIMBY Action: https://yimbyaction.org/Follow YIMBY Action on Twitter: https://twitter.com/yimbyaction/Follow YIMBY Action on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yimbyaction/Follow YIMBY Action on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yimbyaction/

Does an aging workforce mean greater worker power? One of the takeaways from pro-worker advocates during the pandemic financial crisis was that employees saw fantastic gain. As demand for workers skyrocketed, employees got to be choosy. What bosses called “The Great Resignation” was actually workers having the power to demand better wages and working conditions, as well as the willingness to quit jobs that wouldn't offer those things. But economist Adam Ozimek warns that people may be taking the wrong lesson about tight labor markets, and that the coming labor shortage isn't cause for celebration—but concern.

The United States is built on all kinds of immigrants with all kinds of skills and experiences. While politicians might have us believe immigration is a divisive issue, the fact is Americans across the political spectrum agree at least on this: High-skilled immigrants are good for the country, and we need more of them. For Dr. Adam Ozimek, formerly of Moody's Analytics and now Chief Economist at the Economic Innovation Group, a bipartisan public policy group in Washington D.C. working toward a more dynamic and inclusive economy, not only is immigration economic development itself, but immigration policy is also innovation policy.

The US government is spending billions of dollars to build out state-of-the-art domestic semiconductor manufacturing capacity. But spending money is no guarantee of success. In fact, there are already worries that the CHIPS Act passed by the Biden administration isn't succeeding, due to various roadblocks, speedbumps and unforced errors. So what are the odds that it will pay off? And what should we be watching for as evidence of its efficacy? On this episode of the podcast, we spoke with Dan Wang, technology analyst at Gavekal Dragonomics and Adam Ozimek, chief economist at the Economic Innovation Group. This episode was recorded live at Decades, Adam's bowling alley in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, during the #EconTwitterIRL event in April.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the move away from expensive coastal cities a temporary feature of the pandemic or a lasting trend that is reshaping America? Bradley talks to Adam Ozimek, chief economist of the Economic Innovation Group, about what draws people to new places, the pros and cons of cities like St Louis, how supply will catch up with demand and bring down inflation, and what owning a high-class bowling alley has taught him about economics.

Over the past year, many places have returned to something approximating a prepandemic normal. Restaurants are filling up again. Airports and hotels are packed. Even movie theaters have made a comeback. But that hasn't been the case for the office. Only about a third of office workers are back in the office full time. And that isn't likely to change dramatically any time soon: Recent surveys asked executives about the share of their workers who would be back in the office five days a week in the future. In 2021 the response was 50 percent; now it's down to 20 percent.But the alternatives — remote and hybrid work — come with their own problems. In many cases, remote work has become synonymous with meeting fatigue, the collapse of work-life balance, overwhelming amounts of email and Slack messages and awkward attempts at social connection. And hybrid work setups often represent what some have called the worst of both work worlds: long commutes to half-empty offices, just to sit on Zoom calls all day.That leaves office workers in what feels like a work purgatory: The office is dying, but a new, viable model of work has yet to be born. And that liminal space raises all sorts of new questions: What will the postoffice future of work look like? And if the future of work means working from home in some capacity, how do we make that future better for everyone involved?Those questions are at the center of Anne Helen Petersen and Charlie Warzel's book, “Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home.” Petersen is a longtime culture writer who writes the newsletter Culture Study; Warzel is a veteran technology reporter who writes the newsletter Galaxy Brain for The Atlantic. In “Out of Office” they argue that the core problem with current remote and hybrid work setups is this: Workers have left the physical office, but they have taken the broken culture of the office with them. The result is widespread dysfunction but also immense opportunity: If we take this moment to rethink not only where we work but also how we work, then the possibilities are endless. We discuss:Why so many hybrid work arrangements feel so terrible right nowWhat workers actually need the office for Whether remote work is amplifying our society's loneliness crisisThe key differences between hard work and “soft work” How the switch to remote work has unveiled a work culture that was broken long before the pandemicWhat kinds of advances in work-from-home technologies we can expect over the next five years Why Petersen thinks the office of the future should look a lot like a college libraryHow the constant performance of productivity that workplaces demand actually makes people far less productiveThe difference between an individual creating boundaries between work and life and a company establishing guardrails to protect life from workWhether the shift to working remote will revitalize community life across America or undermine itAnd much more.Mentioned:“How Hybrid Working From Home Works Out” by Nicholas Bloom, Ruobing Han & James Liang“Hard Work Isn't the Point of the Office” by Derek Thompson“The Case Against Loving Your Job” by The Ezra Klein Show“Stop.

“I think remote work really is a general purpose technology… It's more comparable to electrification. It's more comparable to the invention of the internal combustion engine or automobiles or something like that in the way that it's going to ripple through everything and it's going to have these longstanding big impacts." This week, I talk with Adam Ozimek, an economist whose recent work focuses on the intersection between labor markets and housing, about how the sharp increase in partial or fully remote work is transformative and simply very important for the ways it will change how many parts of the economy operate.Visit www.joshbarro.com or a transcript of this episode and links.

This episode is all about remote wok. (Or as it is also sometimes known, telework, or telecommuting, or just working from home.)The trend towards remote work has accelerated a lot during the Covid pandemic, as is clear in the data. What we don't yet know is how much of the trend will last. And if it does last, what kind of economic and societal consequences will it have? What might be its effects on things like how we design our homes, and even our neighborhoods? What will happen to the downtowns of big cities, if their offices stay empty? What will it mean for how people get evaluated and promoted at work. Today's guest is economist Adam Ozimek, the chief economist of the Economic Innovation Group. Adam has done some of the most detailed and original analysis on remote work in recent years—not just chronicling the trend right now, but also looking at how it might conceivably change our lives in the long run.

Economists call it "The Great Resignation". It started last April when the number of Americans who quit their jobs broke all records. This is not about a few people resigning here and there. Instead, every month, millions of Americans wake up one day and quit. The seismic shift in the labour market is wreaking havoc everywhere from restaurants to hospitals, with millions of jobs unfilled. What do employers need to know if they want to attract and keep workers? Have employee-labour relations changed forever? Host Steve Clemons speaks with Upwork chief economist Adam Ozimek and University of California law professor Veena Dubal.

Let's face it: The way we were working before the pandemic wasn't working for a lot of people.    In this episode, Latasha James, independent professional on Upwork, shares why she left a Fortune 500 company to build a six-figure business that enables her to work anytime, anywhere. We also hear from Adam Ozimek, chief economist at Upwork, who shares the latest research about the mass exodus of employees from their current jobs, coined the Great Resignation, and how businesses can rethink their talent strategies in light of a tight labor market.    

Serial SPAC dealmaker Betsy Cohen joined to talk about finding her seventh target, Pico, a New York-based technology provider for financial services companies that merged with FTAC Athena Acquisition Corp. in a $1.75 billion blank-check company deal. Senator Cynthia Lummis, Republican of Wyoming, came on to discuss the cryptocurrency amendment holding up the infrastructure package and why she is trying to narrow the language of the provision. Adam Ozimek, the chief economist at Upwork, outlined his latest report titled, "The Great Resignation" about the lasting impacts of the pandemic on the labor market. Then Glenn Fogel, the CEO of Booking Holdings, reacted to their second quarter earnings and talked about the impact of the Delta variant on the travel rebound.

The pandemic has been brutal for restaurants and other indoor entertainment venues. So imagine running a space that's a restaurant, a bowling alley, an arcade, and bar all in one. Our guest on this episode does just that. Adam Ozimek is the co-founder of Decades in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He's also the chief economist at online freelance marketplace UpWork. We talked about the crisis from the micro-perspective (running the space) and the macro-perspective (what he sees in the broader economy right now). He also explained what we need from a policy perspective to save the restaurant industry right now.

David Schleicher is a professor at Yale Law School, and as a returning guest to Macro Musings, he joins to talk about the historical role that the federal government has played in responding to state and local budget crises, including the municipal trllemma it faces. This trilemma says the federal government can only avoid two of the three following harms: (1) moral hazard for state budgets; (2) worsening recessions; (3) reducing future state and local infrastructure investment. Specifically, they discuss this trilemma as well as its implications for the COVID-19 crisis.   Transcript for the episode can be found here: https://www.mercatus.org/bridge/tags/macro-musings   David’s Twitter: @ProfSchleich David’s Yale profile: https://law.yale.edu/david-n-schleicher   Related Links:   *Stuck!

This week, Dress: Fancy speaks with Professor Therèsa M. Winge from Michigan State University to explore the compelling, complicated and challenging world of cosplay. A distinct form of fancy dress, cosplay is unique for enabling people to explore themselves and their society by adopting the clothing and character traits of favourite (fictional) characters. As Professor Winge explains, few forms of costume are simultaneously as escapist and revealing about contemporary society and politics as this increasingly popular entertainment.   Links  Therèsa M.

Episode 109 Are homesteaders just moochers living off of "civil" society? A recent opinion piece in Forbes magazine suggests that they are. And a brilliant homesteading blogger named Daisy Luther of The Organic Prepper blog, articulately countered the argument on Zero Hedge. I read Daisy's article and thought it would make for an interesting discussion on our latest episode of the podcast. But first Marianne and I share a little bit about how we are "mooching" on our respective homesteads! August Update Marianne is tired of hand watering her plants and is making plans for installing a watering system in her garden.  She wants to create a watering grid to "just hydrate everything." And she talks about a sustainability-oriented company she's considering for sourcing this watering system. I'm excited about my recent sheet mulching project. Looking at all the weeds in between my raised beds got old.  So after collecting cardboard from friends and neighbors, I covered the weeds with it. Then I topped the cardboard with lots of straw. If you'd like a gander at how it turned out, check out my posts on our Facebook Page and on our Instagram account. Now on to the diatribe against homesteaders. Reality TV vs Reality Like so many articles out there these days, the Forbes piece on homesteaders seemed outrageous, incendiary and ill-informed. And it was posted in a "reputable" publication - Forbes magazine. As Marianne and I note, basing your opinion of a group purely on the caricatures painted by so-called "reality" T.V. shows, might not be such a great idea. The author of the Forbes piece, an economist named Adam Ozimek, summarizes his case in this paragraph: "If we all lived “self-reliant” lives like Tony often implores us, spending most of our time on basic agricultural subsistence, then modern hospitals couldn't exist. It's only because most of us choose to not live agrarian “self-reliant” lifestyles that this care would be available to Tony, Amelia, and perhaps someday, their children. And what if both of them become too injured to work the land anymore? Would they starve to death, or would they survive off of the social safety net our government provides, like food stamps?" One might also conclude that if we all lived "healthy" lifestyles then modern hospitals couldn't exist.  But should we all endeavor to be ill so that hospitals can continue on? Health, Happiness and "The Economy" A more advanced society might encourage whatever it takes for people to be healthier and happier, even if it's at the expense of large institutions such as hospitals and big Pharma. In such a case, health care might very well be transformed into something much less costly and much more effective. And smaller communities of people, who know and help each other on a regular basis, might find their own ways of taking care of less fortunate community members, in a much more heart-centered manner. From what I've seen homesteaders are by and large, happier than the majority of the population.  But this happy lifestyle is threatening to our established system. As Daisy Luther puts it in her rebuttal: "The fact is, the less we require from society, the less power that society has over us. Our lifestyles give us some distance from the hustle and the bustle. We don't have to make as much money because we don't live in the consumer matrix that engulfs so much of society. We are content to live simply instead of hustling from one non-productive activity to another." And this makes us happier. But should we give up this happiness so that the system can continue? Homesteaders & Freedom The truth is, homesteaders generally contribute to the "system" just like everyone else. We pay our taxes and, to varying degrees, choose to partake in government and institutional programs like the rest of the population.  The difference is, we have more freedom to choose what we participate in and support. I believe a populace that is free to choose, is an empowered populace - an important check on government and corporations and a powerful aspect of our future as a society. And the freedom to do things differently is vital if we want our species and our planet to evolve. What do you think?  Are homesteaders mooching? Are they the pioneers of the future?  Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Adam Ozimek of Moody's Analytics and blogger at Forbes talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about why economists change their minds or don't. Ozimek argues that economists make erratic but steady progress using econometrics and other forms of evidence to understand the impact of public policies such as the minimum wage or government stimulus. Roberts pushes back and discusses the role of ideology, the complexity of where our views come from and the potential for confirmation bias.
