Working Paper Correlates Reductions in Personal Tax Rates And Lower Entrepreneurial Activity

Friday, August 23, 2002

Do personal income tax cuts encourage entrepreneurship?

New benchmarking tool illuminates how AI is accelerating job market changes

Thursday, January 15, 2026

All too often, jobseekers and employers seem to exist in non-compatible realities. While jobseekers flood the job market with descriptions of their generalized skills in communication, leadership, and problem-solving to fill various roles in different sectors, employers are looking for the more specific skills that will get the job done, say the authors of a report from the Wharton School and Accenture. And they propose that AI is accelerating this shift from a role-based economy to a skills-based economy.
