more than 24 hours later, in patras. only one change in mode of transport away from athens. the ferry was late, meaning that the 2 hours budgeted in to get from the port to the bus terminal weren’t enough. nice 30 min walk still. (local bus was delayed and i didn‘t want to gamble on it coming still)

this morning i took the train from bologna to ancona, where I am currently waiting for the ferry to patras. To bologna (where i spent a week since it was sort of on the way) it was 11 hours by train, 13 after factoring in german train delays.

Amazing how the RRF is everywhere - while we looked at the "money in“ side of NextGenerationEU in our paper, the "money out“ pops up in unexpected places. Schrödinger’s off-balance sheet fiscal agency meets whimsical tram in the baltic sea town where i spent summers as a kid…

EPOG over and out. A wild ride, could not have asked for better company on this journey of stress-loaded coffee breaks, jokes about everything from norwegian politics to rats, mental health walks, beach trips, and a final voyage to venice 🥹

🐈⬛ To circumvent the fiscal frameworks that prohibit EU debt, the RRF is both on and off the EU budget: The RRF is legally an off-budget fund similar to the EFSF, but the EU issues bonds on behalf of it. The proceeds are channeled through the RRF into the EU's long-term budget (MFF).

Starting with the Monetary Architecture framework, where both off-balance-sheet fiscal agencies (OBFAs) and treasuries make up a fiscal ecosystem, we learn that the RRF has an indeterminate status, similar to Schrödinger's cat, which is dead and alive at the same time.

Just like indeterminate constructs of quantum physics, the EU rules®ulations create ambiguity such as the ones we show for the RRF in the paper. New layers in the OBFA landscape will likely open up with an RRF 2.0, overcoming the limits of the original with new income streams.

This sentiment is also echoed in the Draghi report, which calls for deferment of NGEU debt repayments, increasing the lifespan of the RRF. Still, in the absence of the large-scale permanent supranational EU debt, the RRF remains simultaneously dead and alive.

In the landscape of EU OBFAs, the RRF occupies a new layer: The RRF is legally an off-budget fund similar to the EFSF, but the EU issues bonds on behalf of it. The proceeds are channeled through the RRF into the EU's long-term budget, the Multiannual Financial Framework.

Hailed as the EU's Hamiltonian moment, we take a closer look at the RRF institutional setup through the Monetary Architecture framework. Instead of Hamilton, we find Schrödinger's famous cat: The RRF is simultaneously dead and alive, on and off the EU budget at the same time.

wondering about EU fiscal ?✨
With the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the EU is now a big player in the bonds market. In a new working paper with @agutersandu.bsky.social, Armin Haas & @steffenmurau.bsky.social we conceptualise the RRF as Schrödinger's off-balance-sheet fiscal agency (OBFA)
