⚠️ JL Bourlange a raison. Si la peur est légitime, la panique est mauvaise conseillère. Car l'Europe a les moyens de réagir: Son PIB = 5 x la Russie. Dépenses militaires UE = Russie. On doit se désintoxiquer de 80 ans d'atlantisme & se rappeler que l'isolationnisme est dans l'ADN des USA #React #Now

The analogies between the trio (Trump/Musk/Vance) and Mao's Cultural Revolution are catching like wildfire. French press has also taken notice of Philipe Roth's novel, The Plot Against America. Everybody looking for pointers and markers. asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Co...

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America.

Le grand déphasage de la politique française face aux bouleversements du monde
ANALYSE. Face à la menace Trump et à l’offensive idéologique américaine, la plupart des politiques français semblent désemparés, en deçà des enjeux, au risque de rester à la remorque de l’histoire.

There you have it. The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (www.policyuncertainty.com) just hit an all-time high, surpassing its previous high from May 2020 - the teeth of the #COVID pandemic.

Consequences: worse investment climate, higher risk premia, (likely) higher interest rates...
We (the original researchers, not the poster) develop a new index of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) based on newspaper coverage frequency. Several types of evidence – including human readings of 12,000 newspaper articles – indicate that our index proxies for movements in policy-related economic uncertainty. Our US index spikes near tight presidential elections, Gulf Wars I and II, the 9/11 attacks, the failure of Lehman Brothers, the 2011 debt-ceiling dispute and other major battles over fiscal policy. Using firm-level data, we find that policy uncertainty is associated with greater stock price volatility and reduced investment and employment in policy-sensitive sectors like defense, healthcare, finance and infrastructure construction. At the macro level, innovations in policy uncertainty foreshadow declines in investment, output, and employment in the United States and, in a panel VAR setting, for 12 major economies. Extending our US index back to 1900, EPU rose dramatically in the 1930s (from late 1931) and has drifted upwards since the 1960s. The index for January 2025 reached its highest point of any time since the mid 1990s, when the primary index begins. It's higher than during the worst months of the pandemic, when global trade and economic activity slowed abruptly, causing a massive global recession. Greater policy uncertainty, or the degree to which markets and expert forecasters disagree about the likely trajectory of the economy, is known to delay investment and hiring (Bernanke 1983), reductions in spending by households and firms, and constrained credit, with more adverse effects for developing countries. The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index measures the degree to which businesses, investors, and economic forecasters are uncertain about government policies related to fiscal and monetary policy, trade policy, and regulation.
