And this by @mmaggiori.bsky.social is just wildly impressive - use LLMs to parse earnings calls and figure out what kinds of economic coercion businesses are worried about - www.globalcapitalallocation.com/geoeconomic-...

Interesting @mmaggiori.bsky.social slide on citations across discipline over time - how economists forget Hirschman on power and trade, and IPE people pick it up instead.

Non-technical brief and interactive data on geoeconomic pressure now available on our website, links in thread.

Read the brief on how we use LLMs to analyze areas of the global economy that are vulnerable to geoeconomic pressure and examine how targeted entities respond.

One issue with coercion is that other countries will implement economic security policies. We end up with a fragmented world and everyone worse off. Commitments to limit coercion can preserve the power of the hegemon and leave everyone better off.

You rarely see many economists agreeing so much, and with such degree of confidence.

The question: The US economy would benefit substantially by borrowing money to form a strategic crypto asset reserve fund?
