📈📉 I'm prepping a talk on the "The Rise of Market Power" & want to cover papers looking *outside* the US. De Loecker and Eeckhout (2021 "Global Market Power") is a good start obviously. But also looking for IO-style industry studies with long time-horizons. Thoughts? Will share deck when ready.

Hi #EconSky

I’m Lahcen an economist @IMF interested in monetary economics and behavioral macro. Occasionally found working on other stuff.

Looking forward to connect and learn from so many of you around here.

Wow just read the best freaking post by @economeager.bsky.social

This is literally the most important advice. This should be framed and posted in every department. The hammer hits people into the anvil too often.
