“If you have a question about the universe, you always have a few possibilities—in particular through language. The power of the word is, for me, the only way to get closer to this hidden reality.”

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Brīdinām par krāpniekiem, kuri izmantojot "WhatsApp", uzdodas par Latvijas Bankas pārstāvjiem. Aicinām ignorēt šādus ziņojumus un brīdināt tuviniekus, īpaši tos, kas varētu būt vieglāk pakļaujami šādām krāpnieciskām darbībām. Latvijas Banka šādā veidā nesazinās!

Happy to share my first VoxEU column, based on a recent
@latvijasbanka.lv/ @ecb.europa.eu ChaMP research network working paper (datnes.latvijasbanka.lv/papers/WP_1_...)! The column documents the lags & strength of monetary policy transmission in the EA and how they have changed over time.

Based on these impacts, the study estimates that the JRS cost between €2,260 and €5,950 per job-year saved. This is notably lower than similar programs in other countries, likely due to differences in income levels and JRS design.

Participation in the JRS demonstrably influenced both the likelihood of firm survival (extensive margin) and employment dynamics within surviving firms (intensive margin).

Our findings reveal a clear positive impact: firms that participated in the JRS maintained higher employment levels than those that did not, with this effect lasting at least until the end of 2021.

In this study, my co-authors (Konstantīns Beņkovskis & Kārlis Vilerts) and I explore the short- to medium-term effects on employment of the job retention schemes implemented in Latvia during the COVID-19 pandemic.
