Two questions are gaining traction in the EU digital policy debate: is EU tech regulation responsible for the gap between the EU and other economies? If so, should the EU take on a deregulatory agenda? @digitalmario.bsky.social lays out an economic framework

In this @intereconomics.bsky.social paper, I share thoughts on the EU deregulatory strategy in tech.
Currently there is confusion on what regulation wants to achieve: efficiency or value distribution.
Without clarity, deregulation is necessarily suboptimal

In this new @bruegel.bsky.social analysis, Nina Ruer and I look at US-based researchers’ educational path to speculate on relocation likelihood.
We find that about 9% of top researchers and up to 19% of early-career in elite uni have education ties with Europe.

How much research talent could Europe grab from the US?
Up to a fifth of researchers in top US universities have previously studied in Europe; they might be persuaded to return

All Europe should stand by Ukraine and its President. Now or never.
Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.
We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

In my latest column for @bruegel.bsky.social I argue that, on tech regulation, the EU should stop apologising and go on the offensive.
The case for EU regulation killing innovation (as recently put forward by the US) is weak.

On tech regulation, the European Union should be bolder
The EU should stop apologising for its tech laws, promoting instead their stabilising and fair-competition aspects

*Anecdote alert*
This afternoon, with my students, we discussed the DSA.
One of them said that “the DSA is ok-ish, but, TBH, if tomorrow I would wake up and all social networks had disappeared, I would think that we are in a better world”.
50% of the class sided with him.
Age bracket: 23-26 yo

I am looking at this picture, and I cannot but ask: is a Commission with only White members truly representative of the EU demographics?
