It was great seeing Angela Merkel yesterday talk about the rationale behind her decisions.

Regarding the 2015 refugee crisis she said that it's easy to talk about human dignity when it does not cost you anything.

Another when a million desperate people show up at your border.

A giant.

On my way to teach my classes today at Durham University.

In my morning walk I passed the keep of the Castle 🏰(where students live!), a 1000-years Old Cathedral and the river Wear.

Just beautiful.

In my latest article, I show the limits and externalities of policies aimed at reducing migrant inflows
