Pierre-Louis Vezina, Cevat Giray Aksoy, and Piotr Lewandowski show that, far from displacing local businesses, Ukrainian refugees in Poland sparked an entrepreneurial boom as they inspired Polish entrepreneurs and created new supply chain opportunities.

#EconSky
Figure shows the number of firms registered with Ukrainian owners. Data from the National Court Register (KRS) and Central Register and Information on Business Activity (CEIDG). When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, over a million Ukrainian refugees fled to Poland. This column shows that far from displacing local businesses, these refugees sparked an entrepreneurial boom. Ukrainians started nearly 39,000 firms in just two years. In addition, every 10% increase in Ukrainian firm registrations triggered a 2.3% rise in Polish entrepreneurship. Survey data reveal two mechanisms driving this multiplier effect: Ukrainian businesses inspired Polish entrepreneurs to launch similar ventures, and Ukrainian firms created new supply chain opportunities with local partners.

Global services trade is expanding rapidly, & it is a prime channel for profit shifting. Alexander Klemm & Li Liu show that, at prevailing levels, withholding taxes curb profit-shifting channels w/out hampering countries' ability to import growth-enhancing services.
cepr.org/voxeu/column...
#EconSky
This figure shows the relative growth in imports of modern services across source country income groupings. Modern services include telecommunications, computer and information services, other business services, financial services, and royalties for IP. Global services trade is expanding rapidly, but its intangible nature makes it a prime channel for profit shifting, prompting many countries to apply withholding taxes. This column shows that such taxes dampen bilateral service imports – especially royalties, where the response is four times larger – with no evidence of an effect on categories unlikely to be used for tax planning. Yet total service imports do not fall; firms simply reroute payments through partners offering lower treaty rates. The results suggest that, at prevailing levels, withholding taxes curb profit-shifting channels without hampering countries’ ability to import growth-enhancing services.

A dataset that records every earthquake shows that moderate earthquakes can still significantly reduce growth and have lasting effects, especially in low- and lower-middle-income economies.

This figure shows the density functions of earthquake intensity from two different sources: Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) and US Geological Survey (USGS). USGS records vastly more moderate quakes, capturing the true distribution of seismic activity. Economic studies of earthquakes often rely on incomplete data, excluding lower-intensity events that can still cause disruptions. This column identifies the effects of earthquakes on aggregate economic outcomes using two datasets: one that captures only earthquakes surpassing certain thresholds and another that records every earthquake. The latter hazard-based dataset shows that moderate earthquakes can still significantly reduce growth and have lasting effects, especially in low- and lower-middle-income economies. These results highlight the importance of systematic data collection of natural disasters.

Government investment in firms has powerful effects on an economy's crisis resilience, with those effects depending on whether the government injects capital into financial or nonfinancial firms.
Markus Haavio & Tuomas Takalo @suomenpankki.fi, Antti Ripatti
cepr.org/voxeu/column...
#EconSky
Governments routinely invest in private firms. This column argues that these investments have powerful effects on an economy’s crisis resilience, and that those effects depend crucially on whether the government injects capital into financial or nonfinancial firms. If the economy’s fiscal capacity is limited, recapitalising banks delivers more resilience per euro. If it allows large-scale risk absorption, direct firm support achieves similar stabilisation with fewer incentive distortions in banking.
