No more self-imposed handicaps in regulation, but still very much maintaining the self-imposed handicaps on fiscal policy and common spending.

Happy to share the publication of my latest research. With enlargement back on the EU's agenda, I analyze how the European Council - the EU's constitutional architect - addressed previous accession rounds.

Navigating widening and deepening: the European Council, geopolitical motives, and Union enlargement
Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the European Council has again moved enlargement high on the agenda of the European Union (EU). From an academic perspective, thi...

Looking at the US presidential inauguration, the link between market power and political power has never been so evident.

If you also found that very striking, please read our blog with Bo Cowgill and Andrea Prat

Political Power and Market Power
Does market power lead to political power? This longstanding question, raised by Louis Brandeis in 1914, remains strikingly relevant today. As industries ...

1/5 Blinken warns that 🇦🇿 may be preparing for a military intervention into 🇦🇲 to open up a corridor towards Nakhchivan exclave, which belongs to 🇦🇿, by force. What does that mean for the 🇪🇺 and energy security?

Blinken warned lawmakers Azerbaijan may invade Armenia in coming weeks
He also said State isn't planning to renew a long-standing waiver that allows the U.S. to provide military assistance to Baku.

5/5 The geopolitics here further complicate things. 🇹🇷 obviously supports🇦🇿calls to open up the corridor, while relations between 🇷🇺 and 🇦🇲 have strained. 🇦🇿 has also been strengthening ties with 🇮🇱 over the invasion of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Periodic reminder that we totally lost the plot sometime in early 2021 & gave way too much oxygen to the Famous Economists telling you that our central problem was "overheating," that US fiscal policy caused all the inflation, & that our policy response to Covid should have looked more like 🇪🇺's.

Imagine if we’d heard this from the “northern saints” (kathleenrmcnamara.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/nort...) of the Eurozone in the depths of a Lost Decade and the era of negative real interest rates 🤔
Dutch central bank president Klaas Knot: European public goods require European financing, either by EU taxes, Euro bonds or higher national contributions to the EU budget. I'm pragmatic. Although more debt at the European level would have to mean lower debt at national level. fd.nl/economie/149...
Knot: 'Ja, er is stagflatie. Maar wel met volledige werkgelegenheid'
De eurozone is in het gevreesde stagflatiescenario terechtgekomen: nauwelijks groei, wel inflatie. Klaas Knot, president van De Nederlandsche Bank, waarschuwt voor te veel pessimisme.

A bitter assessment of the EU’s role on the world stage in this week’s @politico.eu:

“Across an array of global flashpoints, from Nagorno-Karabakh to 🇽🇰 to 🇮🇱, Europe has been relegated to the role of a well-meaning NGO, whose humanitarian contributions are welcomed, but is otherwise ignored.”

I still maintain my twitter account mostly as an act of squatting on the handle, but every time I check in the site is worse by orders of magnitude. What was for nearly 15 years the most valuable way to learn real-time news from eyewitnesses is a cesspoll of misinformation and sensationalism.

What Elon did needs some context. He is the one supporting the nzi party in Germany(ADF), the other nzi party in UK (Reform) and asks for the liberation from prison of Tommy Robinson (a nzi).

So yeah, he is a nazi.

If Bernie did the same thing no one would suspect him to be a nazi and that is ok.

Respect for people, gender equality, equal rights for everyone are not part of woke culture. They are part of the constitution.
