Fantastic opportunity to work with Bruno and his team in a very exciting project. 👇

We are hiring a tenure track (!) senior researcher in political economy!

This is obviously a great job (permanent without teaching obligation) and I hope you all apply.

However, I would like to take a moment to share just how significant this is in the German academic context ⬇️

Updated my plots for the evolution of the CO2-intensity of GDP for OECD plus other large economies and emitters.

Since 1990, CO2-intensity has declined in most major economies (points below the 45° line). Exceptions here are Saudi & Indonesia. Scroll down for the big ones, India and China.

Je crois que c’est bien une ref hallucinée… Ils ont trop joué avec Claude code

Subsidizing global decarbonization: how Chinese state support for clean technologies enables and (potentially) obstructs a worldwide green transition Over the last decade, green technologies have been deployed at record-breaking speeds across the world. No actor has been more important to this process than China, which now dominates what is cons...

J'ai toujours été prudent quant à l’idée d’une accélération du réchauffement mondial. À partir de maintenant, je ne le serai plus.

Some snapshots from ongoing work with @cleocz.bsky.social & Liu Li:

Looking at labor economics textbooks over time, you see the discipline shift in the 1970s.

Earlier textbooks revolve around industrial relations & trade unions. Later ones centre on labor markets & human capital.

Ça se tient bien !

Le chevauchement sur quelques mois de la personne qui remplacera Lane avec Lagarde risque pas de poser problème (niveau équilibre des nationalités) ?

Tu mets pas une pièce sur Cœuré ou Benassy-Quéré plutôt ?

Non, pas officiellement ! C'est mon analyse gros sabots (mais apparemment partagée, y compris en interne)

Banque de France's governor just announced a surprise resignation in June.

The timing has major political implications: it lets Macron appoint a successor whose 6-year term (ending 2032) will outlast the next president's 5-year mandate (2027-2032), preventing any potential far-right appointee

Wow... Writing this paper was a bit like watching a soap opera unfold. But it's out now in @bjpir.bsky.social

The big story is still: The ECB marched forward, with clear democratic authorisation, but not the Fed. Green central banking is much more democratic than people think.

The affordability crisis is an inequality crisis. When prices spike in key sectors, it's not just inflation—it's a massive redistribution shock that hits poor households hardest.

"Polarisation" has become one of those terms commonly used to discuss the dire state of politics and democracy today

Aujourd'hui, 3 députés RN se sont introduits à l'Université avec des journalistes d'extrême-droite, et filmé des étudiant·es malgré leur refus explicite. L'idée ? Prouver notre islamisation totale, en surfant sur une histoire marginale de prières pendant les intercours. Nous sommes très en colère.
