I watch Dutch news and news shows regularly and I'm amazed at their ability to skirt the topic of climate change.
News about weird weather all over the globe (incl. E/C Europe) and not a peep on the link with global warming. That's really odd for a country below sea level ...

Does anyone have a good source for the possible effects of diverging CO2 prices in ETS vs the new system for transport/buildings? #EconTwitter
Interesting: EU's bank-based financing system doesn't really use intangibles as collateral, so the supply of capital could be mismatched with demand from innovative companies. Increasingly important in a digital, knowledge-based economy.
Venture capital investment is 10 times larger in the US (in terms of GDP) than in the EU (average) (six times larger than the best-performing country DK). Who will lead the recovery if there is no risky capital to absorb it? New Generation EU fund?

Genuine curiosity: carbon/GHG taxes are often criticised for being regressive. Why wouldn’t a lower marginal labour tax (especially for lower incomes) compensate this? 1/
Why is this not choice not so clear or not so salient in the debate? Any theories? Is it only that changing effective marginal L taxes is legally/administratively complicated? 3/
I thoroughly enjoyed Stiglitz&Stern's paper on the social cost of carbon and integrated assessment models. It provides a great overview of the main assumptions in IAMs, then rebukes them one by one and argues for something close to scenario analysis.

Wealthy people are more likely to earn higher returns on investments and not just high-risk ones. Research by IMF staff finds the rich also make more on conservative investments. Read more on why on #IMFBlog ow.ly/ndeH50Cypqe #ChartOfTheWeek
Such good news! Looking forward to reading the output :).
EU Tax observatory soon to be created, with the financial support of @Europarl_EN. Will be led by @gabriel_zucman and a team from Paris school of economics. Looking forward ! @EU_Taxud #FairTaxation
An overview of optimal tax theory, in a couple of slides :).
My q to the twitter taxosphere: how do you explain (optimal) marginal distortions to non economists in an intuitive way? (income and substitution effects are not considered intuitive...)
