Le plan de « requalification urbaine » de Gaza révèle, d'une manière extrême, une logique à l’œuvre dans de nombreuses métropoles contemporaines, dont la victime est l’idée même de la ville.

E Dabla-Norris, D Furceri, Z Munkacsi, & G Sher show reallocating spending to infrastructure, education, health, & R&D and closing efficiency gaps can raise GDP by 11% in EMDEs and 4% in advanced economies, without increases in total spending.

#EconSky
Graph of long-term output gains from reallocating spending (percent). The bars show long-term output gains due to a permanent increase, in the expenditure categories listed in the legend, of 1% of GDP in 2025, funded by a cut in public consumption. With high public debt and weak medium-term growth, finance ministries seek to do more with less. This column argues that efficiency gaps in public spending stand at about 30-40% globally and are pronounced in infrastructure investment and R&D spending. Using empirical and model-based analysis, it shows that reallocating spending to infrastructure, education, health, and R&D and closing efficiency gaps can raise GDP by 11% in emerging market and developing economies and 4% in advanced economies, over the long term, and crucially without increases in total spending.

8-hour workday led to + employment in Denmark, especially among unskilled & female workers. Earnings fell in provincial towns but less in Copenhagen, where union membership was higher & wages rose to offset shorter hours.

#EconSky
Average hours worked in Denmark from 1872 to 1925. The dashed line represents the collective bargaining reform. We observe country-level average working hours between 1872 and 1911, but with gaps. We calculate the 1914–1925 values from occupation-level data. Hours are interpolated where data is missing: several intervals between 1872 and 1911, and between 1914 and 1919. In recent years, calls for shorter working weeks have re-emerged in Europe and elsewhere. This column examines how Denmark’s 1919 shift to the eight-hour workday affected labour market outcomes such as hourly wages, weekly earnings, and employment. Weekly earnings fell in provincial towns but less so in Copenhagen, where union membership was higher and hourly wages rose partly to offset shorter hours. Employment increased everywhere, especially among unskilled and female workers. Decentralised wage bargaining appears to have allowed for partial wage compensation and employment expansion.

The informal sector expands during economic downturns and is highly sensitive to fiscal policy. Francesco Pappadà & Yanos Zylberberg show that limited commitment to repay sovereign debt and imperfect tax enforcement strongly influence fiscal policy during crises.

#EconSky
This figure displays the estimated impulse response function to an increase of one percent of output in government expenditures (as in Born et al. 2020). Panels (a) and (b) display the estimated response (dashed line) and the 10-90% confidence interval for debt as a percentage of output and the default spread. The estimation procedure allows for regime switching between two regimes: low and high tax compliance in the previous period. The informal sector tends to expand during economic downturns and contract in recoveries, and is also highly sensitive to fiscal policy. This column explores the impact of these informality dynamics on optimal fiscal policy and the risk of sovereign default. The interaction of tax distortions and limited commitment to reimburse sovereign debt strongly constrains the dynamics of optimal fiscal policy and leads to more frequent default episodes and costly consumption fluctuations. Toning down the impact of fiscal policy on future returns to taxation or tempering the threat of default would both lead to welfare gains and more muted consumption fluctuations.

#EconSky
A graph of US effective tariff rates measured as customs duties relative to total spending on goods imported, 1929-2025. Note: Actual revenues may be lower than those implied by this rate due to myriad exemptions. Source: Data on customs and imports are from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. The 2025 tariff is from Budget Lab (2025a). In 2025, the US government underwent a large fiscal switch, with Congress enacting large income tax cuts and the second Trump administration putting new tariffs on goods at levels not seen in the US since the Great Depression. This column evaluates tariffs as a broad tool of fiscal policy, reviewing both tax policy and macroeconomic considerations, and concludes that this fiscal switch will leave most Americans worse off.

Graph of world trade/GDP ratio. Solid line denotes the trade-GDP ratio, defined as 0.5×(exports+imports)/GDP. Dashed line denotes the 3-year moving average of the trade-GDP ratio. Vertical line denotes the beginning of the US–China trade war. As geopolitical tensions rise, fears of deglobalisation have taken centre stage. However, world trade has remained surprisingly resilient, at least through 2023. This column uses bilateral trade data from 187 countries between 2015 and 2023 to identify decoupling patterns and their economic impacts. Trade reorientation mirrors political alliances more than comparative advantage, with a quarter of countries aligning with the US, another quarter with China, and half remaining unaligned. The redirection of trade has so far produced little loss in global welfare, as global trade volumes remain stable.

Europe faces slowing growth, ageing populations, and structural shifts. This column discusses how organisational economics can illuminate the impact of structural forces on Europe and assist in the design of policies to promote productivity and growth. Demographic change is among the most consequential challenges for European governments, and its impact hinges on organisational choices regarding hiring, training, and retention. Furthermore, AI has the potential to fuel growth, but it also requires a strategy for implementation, both at the institutional level and within organisations. Further work is needed to understand how organisational structures and managerial choices shape policy outcomes.

Chart showing the post-2022 EU budget architecture and the possible post-2027 architecture. In July, the European Commission fired the starting gun on the negotiations of the next Multiannual Financial Framework – the EU’s budget. Against a tough geopolitical and economic backdrop, the call to bolster Brussels’ public finances clashes with the reluctance of some member states to spend more centrally. This column outlines a possible way forward by linking EU funds to national reform and investment projects. Such a move offers a pragmatic ‘middle way’ out of the current ‘bipolar’ governance trap – a system oscillating between largely toothless ‘lifestyle advice’ in normal times and crisis management.
