Hi bsky people - if you care about how the EU seeks to fund all things "social-ecological transformation", which institutional architecture has emerged out of it, and why it is both contested and an unrealized promise: please have a look at our special issue on the politics of sustainable finance 👇

🚨New article🚨 Why has the promise of universal ownership been broken, as @benbraun.bsky.social has suggested?

Our argument: because the Big Three are hardly universal. They mainly invest in those that can insulate themselves from environmental harm - big tech & financials in the Global North.

Actually, research has also challenged the negative correlation between CBI and inflation as a case of confusing cause and effect. CBI is not the *cause* of low inflation. CBI is the *consequence* of a pre-existing sociopolitical consensus on low inflation promoted after the 1970s stagflation.

Central bankers as neutral, science-based policymakers? A new study in @jcms-eu.bsky.social co-authored by @jdeyris.bsky.social and Matthias Thiemann shows that ECB governors, depending on the inflation "season", make selective use of data, theories and indicators to adapt to national preferences. ⤵️

Since the start of von der Leyen's second mandate, EU sustainable finance norms face intense dismantling pressures. My new @JEPP article shows this started years ago when the fossil fuel industry “woke up” to the EU Taxonomy. 🧵 #EUTaxonomy #SustainableFinance👇 1/10

But there is a silver lining: the fact that the ECB Governing Council houses both groups may counterbalance these individual biases and avoid herd behavior...

... At least as long as the balance of power between the two groups remains 🕊️⚖️🦅

This also explains why technocratic institutions' reputation management strategies appear less coherent than anticipated.
Individual central bankers aren't just cultivating their institution's legitimacy, but also trying to make their own monetary policy preferences prevail.

Jérôme Deyris @jdeyris.bsky.social · Sep 1

This questions the "depoliticization" and "scientization" of central banks:
When central bankers selectively respond to data based on whether it supports their preferences, and mobilize theories strategically rather than consistently, they function more as skilled advocates than neutral technocrats.

Jérôme Deyris @jdeyris.bsky.social · Sep 1

In sum, central bankers from both camps displayed:
📍 Selective blindness (cherry-picking data)
📍 Strategic skepticism (questioning theories when they become inconvenient)
📍 Weaponized uncertainty (using uncertainty to justify preferred action/inaction)

Jérôme Deyris @jdeyris.bsky.social · Sep 1

When inflation came back (2021-2023), attitudes reversed. The doves adopted the data, theories, and principles they had rejected in previous years when they were used by the hawks... And the hawks did the same, from inflation data to monetary policy principles.

See e.g. on inflation expectations

1

Jérôme Deyris @jdeyris.bsky.social · Sep 1

By contrast, hawks highlighted in their speeches the supply-side drivers of inflation, questioned the very relevance of inflation expectations, warned of the many and dangerous side effects of quantitative easing, and argued that uncertainty called for humility and patience.

Jérôme Deyris @jdeyris.bsky.social · Sep 1

In deflation times (2014-2017), doves wanted to push for bold accommodative action. They highlighted the demand-side drivers of deflation, warned of de-anchoring inflation expectations, insisted on "price stability first", and called for bold action to counter uncertainty.

1 1

Jérôme Deyris @jdeyris.bsky.social · Sep 1

While having opposed preferences, both camps display similar rhetorical strategies: depending on the "inflation season", they mobilize the data, theories and policy principles that help them make their preferences prevail...

... Even when it means being time-inconsistent!

In this paper, we study speeches from the 5 main Eurosystem central banks (2014-2023) and document the rhetorical strategies of two camps:

🕊️ Doves (that favor accommodative monetary policy), from 🇪🇸and 🇮🇹
🦅 Hawks (that champion higher interest rates), from 🇩🇪and 🇳🇱
