I can’t help but scratch my head at the anti-green, deregulation rhetoric currently circulating in Germany.
Rationalising regulations, like supply chain reporting, makes sense — but halting investments is self-defeating for the West’s key clean tech hub.

I think the "Geoeconomics" agenda is about improving our understanding by integrating the insights of IPE with macroeconomics, international economics and other subfields of economics. We can debate if this constitutes a "new age" but I really think it's something new and important.

New paper with Martin Wolf on Fiscal Stagnation.
Key insights: 1) High public debt may push the economy into fiscal stagnation, a persistent state of low growth and high fiscal distortions. 2) Pro-growth policies are crucial to exit stagnation, but they require credibility.

Shifting into euros - but not of the nice kind…
But this aggregate picture disguises a striking underlying fact: the share of cross-border lending to Russia in US dollars fell from 65% to 25%. Meanwhile, euro-denominated lending rose from 20% to 45%. (Source: BIS LBS)
How did that happen?
