Using German data, Tobias Broer, @jvkramer.bsky.social & Kurt Mitman show that oil supply shocks disproportionately impact low earners. Additionally, the results caution against a return to the wait-and-see approach by central banks that proved costly in 2021-22. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

When oil prices spike, inequality rises. Recent research by @sorrytobekurt.bsky.social & co-authors shows oil shocks hurt low-income workers the most, lowering earnings growth & job prospects while high-income workers are largely unaffected. Read more: bit.ly/4rRXNHw

So, it turns out this paper @sorrytobekurt.bsky.social, Tobias Broer and I wrote, which was recently published in the IMF ER is somewhat topical this weekend: Oil shocks hurt workers at the bottom of the income distribution most; through lower employment, but also lower earnings for the employed.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

This is a great resource! I've been using it for a bit now, and I am very much looking forward to the new chapters

Good news for researchers - don't miss out! We just launched a pilot project @ecb.europa.eu to share anonymised data on bank balance sheets and interest rates for loans and deposits in the euro area. 1/2 www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/dat...

I have a new working paper on solving complex life-cycle models with deep learning. Paper: drive.google.com/file/d/1txCS... Python toolbox: github.com/NumEconCopen...

Could've just asked for access to the Danish, Swedish or Norwegian registry data. Access possible without dismantling democratic institutions

In other news from #France, the household savings rate there (as elsewhere) is settling on a higher level. But plus 4%-points is a *huge* increase if it turns out to be permanent.

🙋, except it's the Danish tax payer who pays me

Bryan W. Van Norden@bryanvannorden.bsky.social · 2y ago

People's parents pay lots of money so their kids have to sit in a room while I tell them about stuff that interests me, then I evaluate them based on how much attention they paid to me. They can also come to my office to hear me talk more about what interests me.

@eu-eurostat.extwitter.link, why can't you be more like him? 😭😭

New look FRED, who dis?

Crazy fact indeed...

Joey Politano🏳️‍🌈@josephpolitano.bsky.social · 2y ago

Here’s a crazy fact for you: Spain and Germany have now seen basically the exact same amount of economic growth post-2008. Would have been unthinkable to people during most of the 2010s. Spain has seen ~10 percentage points more cumulative growth since 2017.

The covers of the Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish preparedness leaflets. Somebody went for a slightly different vibe!

This is also very good

I put together a starter pack of all the academic macroeconomists I could find on the platform. It's short. Please message me if you would like to be added. go.bsky.app/RYnjd8k #econsky etc.

There didn't seem to be one, so I made a starter pack of people whose work I find interesting, and whose work other people who work in macro may find jnteresting. Highly incomplete, but maybe helpful to other newcomers. go.bsky.app/PRGAstf

Is there a starter pack for macroeconomics? If so, I'd be very happy to be pointed towards it

Many countries want to decarbonize their economies. Eg, the US aims to be net zero by 2050. Given this target: What is the optimal transition path? What are the main drivers and economic implications? Our Job Market Candidate Stefan Hinkelmann tackles these questions in his Job Market Paper.
