Tragedy of the horizon man strikes again.

Congrats, @bjoernbremer.bsky.social! So well deserved!

I'm really honored & incredibly grateful that I received the 2026 Carolina de Miguel Moyer Young Scholar Award from @ces-europe.bsky.social in Dublin last week. Thank you to CES, the award committee, and everyone who shaped my research along the way! councilforeuropeanstudies.org/uncategorize...

Rentenfonds sind nicht keine magischen Renditemaschienen. KENFO, beispielsweise, hält > 7 Mio. € in Vonovia Aktien und auf einmal würden niedrigere Mieten die Finanzierung der Atommüllendlagerung gefährden.

Die Koalition will einen Rentenfonds nach 🇸🇪 Vorbild, in den 2% des Lohns fließen. Wie schon bei Lindners Aktienrente (remember him?) greift die progressive Kritik an diesem Element der #rentenreform viel zu kurz. Internationale Evidenz zeigt: Kapitaldeckung = Finanzialisierungsmaschine. 🧵

Just do it. For two distinct reasons: 1. Your data moves to Europe. 2. The act of migrating is educational: It’ll help you understand what the AT protocol is and why it’s a hugely promising technology. If you’re in the business of knowledge, broadly conceived, ignore #atproto at your peril.

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/

The discrepancy between the sober tone of reporting and the insanity of the slow-burn meltdown in private equity is widening by the day. I believe Minsky has a name for this type of borrowing? Starts with a P? www.ft.com/content/1fe7...

Guess we should have known. Thanks, Burnham.

Germany, hotbed of AI accelerationism. We're hoping to leapfrog the digital democracy phase – straight from fax-based government to rule by AGI.

It's been a while since I last checked in on foreign official holdings of US treasuries at the Fed: We're at minus $300 billion since Liberation Day, or minus 10%. Meanwhile, as of May, treasury issuance in 2026 is up 7.7% year-on-year.

This is a very good intro article to a very cool special issue on asset struggles.

How does rampant #assetisation and variation in #assetmanagement affect social conflicts? Our special issue co-edited with @theobourgeron.bsky.social in New Political Economy proposes a framework to analyse such asset struggles and brings together 7 papers with key empirical studies. 🧵

Counterpoint: Easy to make case that the ECB should not have hiked in an undifferentiated manner. The EMPN team are making that case in our upcoming Monetary Dialogue Paper, out next week. @claraleonard.bsky.social @jvtk.bsky.social

ECB'S LANE: HARD TO MAKE CASE THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE HIKED

🧵 with some wild facts such as: “Renewables-plus-storage is so cheap that in large parts of the world it is cheaper to build a whole new clean power plant than just pay for the fuel and maintenance for a fully-depreciated gas generator.”

People are still underestimating how much the prospects of LNG growth in Asia are totally busted. Even setting aside the Hormuz factor, the economics are just brutal: 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Surely.

The theory that macro vibes predict World Cup team performance: refuted 100% by round one. Rank these six* by points and goal difference (and absence) and you get the exact inverse. *Assuming that England closely tracks UK in the GDP-per-capita chart.
