President Trump divides the world into those who have cards and those who don’t. So, Europeans need to learn to play cards quickly.

In my latest policy brief, I review Europe’s economic hand and explore what it would mean to deploy these cards against US aggression.

Europeans must swiftly learn to leverage their position with Trump and the US.
They need a clear transatlantic strategy to decide when to align, rebalance, or diverge from the US.

In meinem Beitrag für die @faznet.bsky.social werfe ich einen Blick auf die Geschichte von Sanktionen, erkläre verschiedene Sanktionstypen und deren Wirkung und gehe der spannenden Frage nach, was es eigentlich mit dem Begriff 'verhanst' auf sich hat.

Just finished this survey, great read with a lot of interesting papers that went on my reading list. The survey divided the field into five subfields: policy tools(such as sanctions), the geoeconomics of trade and finance, geopolitical risk and the economics of war.
🌍🌎🌏 Geoeconomics is emerging as a major research field. @cathrinmohr.bsky.social & Christoph Trebesch reviewed the literature: What is Geoeconomics? Key questions and findings? What research is needed?

How do firms adapt to sudden trade sanctions? New @voxeu.org column by U.Aytun, @julianhi.nz & C.Özgüzel 👇 Using data from the 2015 🇷🇺 embargo on 🇹🇷 goods after the SU-24 incident, they show that exports to 🇷🇺 nearly stopped, markets shifted, & long-term impacts on sales, supply chains, & jobs emerged
Shooting down trade: Firm-level effects of embargoes
The downing of a Russian SU-24 fighter jet by Turkish forces in November 2015 led to a swift embargo by Russia on Turkish goods and services, and provides a unique opportunity to study the effects of trade sanctions on firms. This column analyses the impact of the embargo using detailed administrative data covering all Turkish exporters. The results show a near-complete stop of sanctioned exports to Russia, significant shifts to other markets, and lasting effects on firms’ domestic sales, supply chains, and employment. The findings highlight how firms adapt to trade shocks and provides useful lessons for policymakers designing sanctions.

China hacked the US Treasury and OFAC, gaining access to unclassified information on potential targets of US financial sanctions. The hack occurred through a breach in software provided by a third-party vendor, ironically called BeyondTrust.

Data showing the top 16% of remote workers outperform the top 5% in-office, while the bottom 12% underperform the bottom 5% in-office, makes sense.

Top performers thrive with extra time from no commute, but underperformers struggle without oversight. RTO penalizes top talent for others’ inability.
