What makes states talk about arms control as a security issue rather than a humanitarian one? @tobiasrisse.bsky.social shows that intrastate conflict shifts UN rhetoric toward national security—revealing how domestic conflict shapes arms-control debates. More: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

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!

🚨 @patrickbayer.bsky.social, @lorenzocrippa.bsky.social and I have a paper entitled “Energy Transition, Financial Markets and EU Interventionism: Lessons from the Ukraine Crisis” cond. accepted at @psrm.bsky.social. Text: federica-genovese.com/downloads/Ba... Gist of the paper in this 🧵 : 1/12

"Energy Transition, Financial Markets and EU Interventionism: Lessons from the Ukraine Crisis" by Patrick Bayer, Lorenzo Crippa and Federica Genovese A successful energy transition requires the reallocation of private capital away from fossil fuel assets to greener alternatives. This transition is typically hindered by investors’ focus on today’s returns. In times of crisis, however, credible and unambiguous political signals about the future profitability of green industries can steer investments towards low-carbon assets. Drawing on European Union interventions during the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we present an event study of daily stock market returns following the most salient policy announcements by the European Commission in 2022. Our analysis shows that markets for shares of EU-based energy firms were initially prepared to move capital to cleaner companies, suggesting support for the clean energy transition. However, the short-lived distributional effects materialized only for announcements that could unmistakably be understood as unwavering commitments to the EU’s green renewal, while more ambiguous announcements did not have the same distributional implications. Our findings emphasize that repeated and unambiguous political signals during crisis episodes can create favorable market conditions, at least in the short-term, to support capital reallocation towards greener stocks.

Due diligence laws make firms liable for human rights violations and environmental damage in their supply chains. But the business lobby heavily criticizes these laws because of the required bureaucracy and potential compliance costs, which may create economic disadvantages. (1/5)

How will voters react to CDU shifting away from its strict "no collaboration"-stance toward AfD? During my PhD, I sought to answer this question. Sooner than I had hoped, it is no longer mostly hypothetical. A thread… (1/6) doi.org/10.1017/S000...
