This @iojournal.bsky.social article from @lorenzocrippa.bsky.social et al. is one of the most important recent pieces on corruption, American politics, and democratic backsliding. It is an empirical research note, but I think its theoretical implications are much bigger. 1/n🧵

I am not surprised re Thiel in Rome. Progressive Popes (eg Francis, Leo now) can spook the winners of late stage capitalism. Polarization around these Popes is driven by forces scared of how papal messages threaten their financial power. @lorenzocrippa.bsky.social and I documented this in our WP.

🔥Revised paper🔥 More regressions. More tests of mechanisms. Same story. Tldr: Brexit caused much regulatory uncertainty at a moment when UK state capacity was v weak, and hard-to-regulate companies (aka oil firms) did not think twice and generated a mess in the high seas. Now with full receipts ⬇️

🚨 WP w/ @acalacino.bsky.social & @hayleypring.bsky.social It’s been a turbulent decade of globalization backlash. Populist projects wanna take back control everywhere. Focusing on the case of oil and Brexit, we offer a story of the danger of this narrative and concrete merits of multilateralism: 🧵

Stock returns of oil majors (and oil price) jumped after Trump's latest sanctions on Russian oil firms. That was predictable: in a new (conditionally accepted) paper at @psrm.bsky.social, @patrickbayer.bsky.social, @fgenovese.bsky.social, and I show exactly that. Paper: tinyurl.com/49t7z5ap 1/3

Very happy to have this one with @patrickbayer.bsky.social and @fgenovese.bsky.social accepted in @psrm.bsky.social! We show that, without unambiguous policy commitments, stock markets will not stir capital away from fossil fuel and towards renewable energy investments. More info in the thread!

EU chipping at 🇷🇺 exports, incl. oil/gas related tech. Direction is right but sad it's been so slow. @patrickbayer.bsky.social @lorenzocrippa.bsky.social and I have argued that the capital that sneakingly fuels Russia's finances could have shifted away more robustly if action had been faster in 2022.
