Trump may well achieve his goal of reducing the US trade deficit, but via the worst possible way: engineering recession at home and removing America’s and USD’s status as trusted safe haven. It would be a poorer, hostile nation but with trade surplus. Sort of like Russia. Some win.

Crazy fact indeed...

Joey Politano🏳️‍🌈 @josephpolitano.bsky.social · Nov 23

Here’s a crazy fact for you: Spain and Germany have now seen basically the exact same amount of economic growth post-2008. Would have been unthinkable to people during most of the 2010s. Spain has seen ~10 percentage points more cumulative growth since 2017.

Austrian Socio-Economic Panel (ASEP) - Austria has started a long-term household panel survey like the GSOEP. The first wave of wave data is already available (here: aussda.at/en/news-deta...). A special feature of ASEP is that it is register(!!) based. This has two nice features, see below

We are pleased to announce that a new, Austria-wide survey programme is now available at AUSSDA.
