A very happy news to share. Co-written with @anninak.bsky.social and Riccardo D'Orsi. Stay tuned for more news on this.

Hay alguien en Argentina pensando las implicancias productivas, estructurales, estratégicas y de economía política a mediano plazo de la Guerra en Irán? Hay alguna lectura que me haya perdido? No nos podemos dar el lujo de obviar el tema.

Metaxas as in Ioannis Metaxas? That's very consistent...

Trying to not despair at what's coming, I entertain the thought that this an absurd Ionescu play where Trump is trying new ways to get the Fed to lower rates.

Y’all look like you need a break from the news cycle (evergreen!). Check out our new paper with Jon Frost & Hiro Ito about the impact of stablecoins on the international monetary system, w/ focus on EMEs
Lots of graphs w/ stylised facts, currency functions, scenarios

Macroeconomic impacts of changes in land use in an agricultural-commodity exporting country: the case of Argentina, 2003–23 - CETEx This brief from the Land and Ocean series examines how land-use changes driven by agricultural expansion and intensification impact balance-of-payments dynamics, wage and price inflation, and financia...

6/ The link to the article, here. We are particularly grateful to the people at CETEx LSE for their assistance throughout the project. Comments are appreciated! cetex.org/publications...

5/ Addressing these challenges from a monetary policy perspective requires a multidimensional framework, with regulatory policies complementing other, more structural market developments to stimulate green investment, avoid inflationary pressures and maintain banking stability.

4/ The analysis demonstrates that physical climate risks, such as extreme weather events, directly impact central bank reserve accumulation. The impact comes through the export channel but also through portfolio decisions by nonresident investors.

3/ We develop both a modelling and an econometric approach to understand the interactions between physical climate risks, monetary policy and macroeconomic stability in agricultural-commodity exporting countries.

2/ Climate change and environmental degradation pose significant risks to commodity-dependent developing economies, yet their macroeconomic and financial implications remain underexplored.

1/ We’re very happy with @nictoftum.bsky.social to announce the publication of our Policy Brief for CETEx LSE, titled: “Macroeconomic impacts of changes in land use in an agricultural commodity exporting country: the case of Argentina”.

In terms of English bookshops, I really like: Saint George’s at Prenzlauer Berg; Ivallan’s Secondhand & Exceptional Books in Schönleinstraße 32; Schwarze Risse in Gneisenauerstr (mostly german but some English titles too). There is also a very new and cute one, Desirelines, in Admiral Brücke.

Could you make a list of favorite bookshops in Berlin? Or is there a list you recommend? It'd be great, thanks.

In Argentina we have jokes about the usefulness of the Swiss Navy...

Keir Brunning.

Thanks!

Hi, your syllabus looks very interesting. Is there a way to share it? Thanks.

Have you seen Mehrling's review of Rogoff's last book? Very recommended

Education of a Grandmaster Kenneth Rogoff, Our Dollar, Your Problem: An Insider’s View of Seven Turbulent Decades of Global Finance, and the Road Ahead. Yale 2025.

This review of Kenneth Rogoff’s new book by Perry Mehrling is great. It gives a strong overview of a Kindleberger-esque view of the IMFS while critiquing Rogoff. I think @rajakorman.bsky.social would enjoy it. www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives...

Could you post the link to the report? Thanks.

I'm an Argentine macroeconomist living in Argentina, and I completely sympathize...

It is by Robertson. It's quoted in his biography by Gordon Fletcher. One of my favourite phrases of all times

Promocioné a Investigador Adjunto de CONICET. Una buena noticia. Muy agradecido y contento. No es sólo un mérito individual, sino colectivo, de todo el grupo e instituciones involucradas.

24/ La corto acá. Hay mil cosas para avanzar y profundizar. Arrancarse los ojos ahora está bien, sino no se renuevan las caras, ni los mensajes. No hay otro momento.
