Martin Wolf: A message for the chancellor: the time is now ripe for tax reform ft.trib.al/yenCsHh
Daniel Posch retweeted
Who stands to loose from a green transition? The biggest beneficiaries of fossil fuel profits, the richest of the rich. 50% of profits go to top 1% of wealth owners.
My co-author @GregorSemieniuk will present our paper and more at the @LSEEI on March 3, 6.30 PM. Go if you can!

Germany is in crisis. GDP is down 10% from the pre-COVID trend, real wages are below 2019. Economic decline has fueled the rise of the extreme right threatening democracy.
Change is overdue. But the new Chancellor‘s trickle-down economics won’t do the trick.

How does giving the gov't a 10% stake actually fix Intel's core problem of struggling to find customers for its chips and foundry business?

Seit wenigen Wochen hat Markus Marterbauer einen Nachfolger in der @Arbeiterkammer. Der neue Chefökonom ist @matschnetzer. Wie denkt er? Wann hält er Preiseingriffe für berechtigt? profil.at/wirtschaft/arbeite…

Important point.
Been banging on about this in the European debate.
The distinction a lot of economists draw, advocating Europe should go for high-tech and abandon others sectors doesn’t do justice to clustering.
Truism but unfortunately it really is more complicated.

New paper:
"What Does Consulting Do?"
w/ Gert Bijnens, @simon_jaeger
Consulting is a storied but opaque industry.
Our VAT-based B2B data permit the 1st comprehensive study:
Which firms buy consulting?
What happens when they do?

"The dominance of neoclassical economics in our university curricula has created a world where we are told there is no alternative. Economics today resembles Catholic theology in medieval Europe: a rigid doctrine guarded by a modern priesthood"

“We Warned About the First China Shock. The Next One Will Be Worse.”
Very important essay in the NYT by MITs David Autor and Harvard’s Gordon Hanson, who did a lot of the groundbreaking research on the first China shock (with Dorn in Zurich).

How it started
A heterodox economist & her PhD student argue for buffer stocks in essentials for inflation preparedness in an age of overlapping emergencies.
How it’s going
New EU Stockpile Strategy suggests stockpiles in essentials like food for inflation prevention.

#Europe’s single market runs on two gears: #cities in pole position, hinterlands idling.
As @MartinaPardy and I show in Growth & Change, intra-#EU #trade widens regional gaps; global exports don’t. Openness needs inclusion, or the economic engine grinds. doi.org/10.1111/grow.70036

I've written about the Savings and Investment Union, new @Lagarde @ecb @EU_Commission plan to pay for Draghi's transformative ambitions.
It wants Europeans to save/invest like Americans.
But if we do that, we'll have to live like them too.

Rutte - the same man who championed austerity in the EU for over a decade.
Pathetic. Spineless.

The Iran-Israel confrontation has been telgraphed and feared for so long that we are in danger of losing sight of just how radical it is in military terms.
