📊Working Paper No.6

New paper by @ygorodnichenko.bsky.social and Vasudevan uses macroeconomic forecasts to estimate the cumulative costs of the Russian invasion for 29 countries. Soon after the attack, projected costs hit $2.44 trillion, with rising uncertainty and spillover effects.

#EconSky
Macroeconomic Expectations in a War
Using short- and long-term macroeconomic forecasts, we estimate the cost of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine for countries in Eastern Europe, Caucasus, and Central Asia. Shortly after the Russian attack, the projected cost (cumulative over six years) stood at $2.44 trillion for the region. Professional forecasters predicted a dramatic increase in macroeconomic uncertainty, significant spillover effects, some hysteresis effects as well as a changing nature of business cycles. We also use the war shock to study how professional forecasters acquire and process information. Our results point to state dependence as well as an important role of forward information in shaping macroeconomic outlook of professional forecasters.

❌Lie: Putin justified the full-scale invasion by claiming Russia was fighting "neo-Nazis" in the Ukrainian government.

✅Truth: Ukraine’s government was democratically elected, its president is Jewish, and all far-right parties combined received only 2% of parliamentary votes.
