Imagine if hundreds of people died in hurricane or floods smashing through Europe Heatwaves have already killed that many ppl. They are a silent killer in that they dont generate outrage or fear. Hope this by @economist.com helps save lives as Europeans wake up to danger bsky.app/profile/eate...

Can the ECB stop chasing oil price spikes, please? This is the message of this important study in a nutshell. Inflation is all about fossilflation. So, we need a way to stabilize our economies that does not undermine the green transition we need, which is exactly what rate hikes end up doing.

The ECB just hiked into an oil price shock, again. In our new paper for the EP Monetary Dialogue, we argue that this needs to stop. 🧵 If inflation is a function of the energy mix (✅) and the energy mix a function of monetary policy (✅), then even a narrow reading of the ECB’s mandate ... 1/

Tightening against an energy price shock is a crude response, that only works if it chokes the economy, and green investment with it. It shouldn't be so controversial for the ECB to accept it.

Very interesting paper and thread by friends on the tensions between inflation fight and accelerating the transition (which is key to anchor long term inflation expectations).

If you have ever emailed a writer to let them know you enjoyed something they wrote, you are among the noblest and best and most saintly in this entire world, and I hope you sleep really well tonight.

As part of our Max Planck Law Fellow Group, we have been running a webinar series on Independence and Democracy in the EU. This Wednesday, 10th June from 2.30 PM we are hosting what promises to be a very interesting discussion on US cryptomercantilism vs EU monetary sovereignty.

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

⏰This proposal looks really well thought-through and may also contain important insights for the EU. 💡Doing away with liability is an effective way to cut red tape and promote new private sector initiative. 😎 Expect the European People's Party to make a similar EU proposal soon.

The @pkrugman.bsky.social and @lugaricano.bsky.social debate centres on whether Europe's relative position depends on how productivity is measured. Using industry-level data, I break the gap down into its sectoral and capital components to see what is driving it. substack.com/@andreistere...

Europe's Productivity Debate Needs Better Data

Krugman is right that Europe's relative living standards have held up better than the decline narrative suggests. His critics are right that America has built a lead in intangible capital and tech.

Fully share the conclusion about the slim chances of EUR/RMB—but I recently learned from @helene-rey.bsky.social that persistent CA deficits are *not* a prerequisite for currency internationalization. The US is in fact "the banker of the world", central in gross positions www.ft.com/content/5bc0...

In reality, global dollar liquidity is supported by the vast stock of US Treasuries and other safe-dollar assets held across the world. When foreign investors hold US Treasuries, they are recorded as gross external liabilities of the US but they are not necessarily linked to net financial flows captured in the current account.

One of the broader implications of this piece, again, is that there is exactly zero chance of the euro or RMB replacing the dollar as the dominant global reserve currency so long as every single economic policy of both 🇪🇺 & 🇨🇳 is organized around running massive, persistent current account surpluses.

I'm a senior equity partner at a big global accountancy firm. I still keep a cheat sheet in my note book to remind me which way debits and credits work on the balance sheet.

The manifestos that appear to have been written by the shooters at the Islamic Center of San Diego are a horrifying reminder that extremist ideologies are deeply interconnected. Combating Islamophobia, antisemitism and all forms of hate requires understanding this broader ecosystem of extremism. 🧵

Teen attackers in San Diego Islamic Center shooting were wallowing in hate, investigators say

"These subjects did not discriminate in who they hated," said Mark Remily, special agent in charge of the FBI's San Diego Field Office.
