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

🎈We set out to theorise failure and develop a new IPE perspective that foregrounds offshore money.

Markets won’t do it alone ❌

@jvtk.bsky.social and @steffenmurau.bsky.social argue that euro internationalisation keeps falling flat without active offshore monetary governance 👇

Rethinking currency internationalisation: offshore money creation and the EU’s monetary governance

Internationalisation of the euro has for decades eluded EU policymakers. In this article, we develop a novel explanation of the subordinate position of the single currency. To this end, we build on...

New paper with @glenpeters.bsky.social in Nature Communications today. We show how models and studies with a lot of scenarios in the IPCC scenarios database have a large impact on key findings, including emissions reductions, net-zero GHG year, and coal, gas, and oil consistent with 1.5°C.

Influence of individual models and studies on quantitative mitigation findings in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report - Nature Communications

The paper analyses the impact of the uneven representation of models and studies on key mitigation findings in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. It finds that the model with the most scenarios has a considerable influence on several findings.

“It is increasingly indefensible for news coverage of climate change not to make it clear that this crisis is driven by very specific human activities – primarily burning fossil fuels. And in second place is food, agriculture, forestry.”

Yesterday The Intercept posted the piece I wrote for them to X. That account has 800K followers. As of now, the post has 5,500 impressions, 8 likes, and the only reply includes a Pepe the Frog image and the n-word.

So yes, seems like the algorithm is working as intended!

Den einen ist der Verfassungsblog nicht wissenschaftlich genug, den anderen zu kostenfrei, um von wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken finanziert zu werden.

Wieso an beidem nichts dran ist, erklärt EVIN DALKILIC im Editorial.

Zitat aus dem Editorial von Evin Dalkilic: „Der Verfassungsblog bietet Wissenschaftler*innen eine Plattform, um diesen Diskurs anzustoßen und zu führen, zwischen Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit, schneller als jede Zeitschrift und mit strengerer Qualitätssicherung als die meisten.“

🚨Scholarship! How does a currency become widely adopted internationally? Focusing on the euro, Profs. @jvtk.bsky.social & @steffenmurau.bsky.social highlight the role of state-led governance. Successful currency internationalization, they suggest, is seldom a purely market-driven phenomenon.

🚨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.

The 2003-2005 change in the ECB's collateral framework towards a market/rating agency orientation prefigured the Greek disaster. This has been emphasized consistently since years, in the work of @jvtk.bsky.social & many others, but it continues to send chills down my spine every time I read it.

This was the absolute norm for any US politician until, well, Trump. Even Mike Pence said it when he was booed at a staging of Hamilton just after they won in 2016.

Washington (CNN) - Vice President-elect Mike
Pence said the boos he faced at the Broadway production of "Hamilton" were "what freedom sounds like."
Pence also didn't criticize the show's cast for addressing him from the stage after the play's end Friday night, saying he wasn't offended and understood their message.

Months of waiting but my review copy of The War on Science has arrived.

I read Krauss’ introduction. What the fuck happened to this man? He comes off as incapable of basic research, argument, basic scholarship.

He sounds stupid.

I look into strange claims he makes and they’re demonstrably false
