Addressing the democratic deficit – or just addressing itself?

Our PhD candidate Paul A. Kindermann @paulkindermann.bsky.social has published a new article which argues that the Commission’s new European Citizens' Panel simulates reform to bolster its own self-legitimation

In the age of asset manager capitalism, do asset owners still matter? And what does this mean for the green transition?

@nataschavanderzwan.bsky.social and I investigate this through an in-depth study of how some of the most important asset owners - pension funds - invest.

Now out in SER!

Excited to share this paper because it does something new: We're testing the implicit coordination hypothesis proposed by Weber & Wasner. Analyzing earnings calls, we find that large, economy-wide costs shocks make executives feel very good indeed. Open access:

NEW PAPER

Oil, shipping, tariffs: We are back in a world of cost shocks.

Our AI/LLM analysis of 138,962 corporate earnings calls shows how economy-wide cost shocks let large firms raise prices & increase profits—triggering sellers' inflation. 🧵

At last, this paper found a (nice!) home in Stato&Mercato. With Francesco Bagnardi, we offer an explanation for the deep variation in Italian governments' policy approaches towards informal employment - shifting between enforcement efforts & blatant forbearance. www.rivisteweb.it/doi/10.1425/...

We argue that the recent rise—and limits—of green industrial policies and higher carbon prices reflect a powerful political strategy: Making countries' dominant economic interests and growth models central to climate policy.
