Since the great financial crisis, much has been written in CPE on the fate of South European economies. Have they really morphed into export-led growth models? With what outcomes? Are their trajectories convergent? In this new DP, we use granular data to put claims from the literature to the test 🧵

Workers fight for more than wages

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

From the FT today: "The killings on Sunday will deepen doubts about GHF’s ability to replace the UN, which previously delivered aid to families at local distribution sites. MSF International on Saturday described the new system as “disastrous. Ineffective. Dangerous. Reckless. Dehumanising”."

“Reuters examined the data from the Gaza Health Ministry to look more closely at those who have died. It found that more than one-fifth of those killed in the territory were children under the age of 12. More than 1,200 families were completely wiped out”
