Working on Economics with Fable 5
For the past few months I’ve been working on a theory. It started out as just a fun little data exercise looking at some different types of taxes and benefits and how it effects what people buy and how much they work. During that time I took advantage of opus and later fable to help me get data, but as I was doing that of course opus might interject with some assumption I had wrong or some paper that shows the opposite. This back and forth continued for some time, and, well, it’s culminated in two pieces, one written by me and one written by fable. Both of us think it’s quite significant, so, feel free to give either of them a read.
My version, in my voice. Visual, anecdotal, not much in the way of maths or technical details.
Fable’s version. The same theory, but formal. Very similar to the framework developed by nobel prizewinning economist Daron Acemoglu alongside Pascual Restrepo.
These two theories really are the same, just written two different ways. Give them a read, tell me what you think here.
