Trump admin eliminating access to many microdata sets that economists use
Probably not intentional, just the bumbling fumbles of unqualified appointees

New for the Vibecession Debate. Working paper argues that using microdata to get household-specific inflation rates (rather than aggregating first like CPI), you find
-lotta variation in household inflation
-greater avg inflation during price upturns
-lower real wages for lower income people
-lotta variation in household inflation
-greater avg inflation during price upturns
-lower real wages for lower income people

There's also a fun lesson here for the microdata heads: trying to answer these types of questions with just aggregate data is *way harder* than just using appropriate microdata. If you have the microdata, all you need to do is calculate some summary stats, if you don't you need to build a model.

I was surprised how dramatically this effect showed up in pdx when I was looking at census microdata
a sort of contrived metric you can put together is how much have renters in 1bdr apartments paid in rent over time, broken out by the decade their building was built. it's a bit of a random walk -- rents are a down a lot in new 2010s buildings, but also in cheap 70s apartments

If you want to really feel the housing crisis, browse the Census microdata for LA households with lots of people in them. About 16,000 houses in LA County have three bedrooms and 8+ people.

Immigrant workers grow the economy in every state. Trump's mass deportations do the opposite.
Our new fact sheets break down the impact state by state—and show how creating a path to citizenship could raise wages and help all working people by boosting the economy.
