📢 Hot off the press: our new study in Nature, led by Luke Grant and @wimthiery.bsky.social, shows how climate change is redefining what it means to live an "unprecedented life"—facing climate extremes that would have been nearly impossible without human influence.

R bar vs. R star, the natural rate is fundamentally different from the neutral rate - Maurice Obstfeld + reforms a la Draghi, time has come? #ecbwatchers

5 lessons on QE:
1.QE can be complement&substitute for IR policy
2.QE macro effect more uncertain than IR, but duration extraction effect significant.
3.Few channels-signaling, liquidity provision..

Next week, the new European Commission will put forward its clean industrial policy plans.

In a new paper, @ph-jaeg.bsky.social and I dig into what this strategy needs to deliver— backed by lots of brand-new *sectoral* data on the distribution of national subsidies.

Here are our main takeaways:

Ireland collects much of the corporate tax revenue a more coherent US tax code would channel back across the Atlantic. Ireland could also be in the firing line as a major & growing contributor to the US trade deficit—now 4th in the world. By @phonohan.bsky.social: www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Patrick Honohan: Ireland is more exposed to Trump’s tariff war than any other European country

Without turning away from the United States, it is vital for Ireland to remain unambiguously and progressively engaged in collective action in support of Europe

We highlight three own goals of failed internationalization:
1. Non-existent euro value chains locked the EU into disastrous dollar denominated fossil fuel imports
2. Wavering and weak ECB swap line policies (limited, conditional, unattractive)
3. That rare beast “a euro denominated safe asset”

Why does the largest trading bloc on the planet have a miniature-sized currency? With Trump, the EU will again much regret this.

👉25 bp cut today as expected, though it could have been more seeing negative growth in FR, DE and stagnation in IT.

Also, can we take the moment to appreciate that no political figure is threatening the @ecb.europa.eu to cut rates 👐

This independence could be put to good use towards the 🌎 🌱

European Central Bank @ecb.europa.eu · Jan 30

We cut our key interest rates by 0.25 percentage points.

We are doing this because inflation is developing broadly as we expected and is on track to settle at around our 2% target.
