The lock-in effect It may be that the most economically consequential outcome of the proposed tax rises will not be: - discouraging founders; or - founder flight but something called "the lock-in effect". The literature on it is consistent across almost 50 years of study. The basic idea is that raising taxes at exit makes owners less likely to sell. From there, it's straightforward to predict: - reduced transaction volumes - reduced liquidity; and - a whole set of inefficiencies re: owners that should have sold years ago but were averse to losing half. Having the highest CGT rate in the world will no doubt put Australia in a position to contribute to the literature on the topic 😊
@shandsaker Pretty good swerve given how late he saw the dog!
@buirachel @shandsaker @andrewbirt @SmallTimeVC @LaunchVic One thing not measured by the Startup Genome Report is serendipity. Brownian motion of people and ideas and...hey presto, a company! I doubt that the longest lockdown in the world will prove friendly to serendipity. Quite the reverse.

What determines the success of #COVID19 #TestAndTrace? Our SEIR on a graph says: (i) Symptom Onset to Test Time (& to self-isolation) (ii) Share of Contacts Traced Less important: (iii) Test & Trace Time: test turnaround & contact tracing time. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

Hypothesis: One limit on the switch to a remote world is that the only safe way for a group to talk is in person. Better communication tools and more bandwidth can't fix this.

🚨This is the clearest, most informative video of why the government is not closing schools and quarantining us. This WILL SAVE LIVES in the long run and make absolutely sure the NHS is not overrun. Quarantine only when the NHS is at 95% of MAX capacity. We have one shot at it.
