📢Current scholarship! In "The Myth of Credit Card Competition" @bendinovelli.bsky.social argues that mainstream reform proposals to curb the high cost of credit card payments by increasing competition are misplaced, and that public utility law may hold the key for more promising alternatives. 👇

I'm really pleased to be featured in @justmoney.bsky.social's current scholarship post. Looking at the Bank of Japan and Fed archives, I argue that QE was always linked to public-sector support, but that effect was deliberately suppressed in central banks' public research and other comms.
