A new chapter begins! 🇳🇱🇪🇺 Warmest congratulations to @robjetten.bsky.social on being appointed the Netherlands’ next Prime Minister. We're excited for the cooperation within the Renew Europe family, let’s build a brighter future together!

Quite the chart

Mark Carney's speech really is terrific: full text is here and very much worth your time.

Gabriel Zucman argues that empirically, with the right controls, 🇪🇺's economy does no worse than 🇺🇸 since 1990. It is noteworthy, but not because doing better or worse than 🇺🇸 should be so relevant. Rather, because it highlights that 🇪🇺 is in a remarkable era of healthy expansion and growth.

It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US This view is wrong A little primer on the measurement of productivity – and why reports of the economic death of Europe are greatly exaggerated🧵

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

Jetten en Bontenbal blunderen met inhoudelijk akkoord: andere partijen willen verder op basis van politieke spelletjes

De blokken in de Tweede Kamer 1986-2025. In 2025: Radicaal rechts + rechts = 73 zetels = geen meerderheid (in 2023 wel) Rechts + centrum = 71 zetels = geen meerderheid Centrum + links = 77 zetels = meerderheid [En ja het is mij bekend dat je partijen ook anders in blokken kan indelen]

Welke partij wordt de grootste: bookmaker Polymarket laat zien dat er vandaag veel verschoven is.

#EctJ published its Sept 2025 issue, with @mdenardi.bsky.social's 2024 Sargan Lecture on "Health inequality and health types", Chen Qiu's "Cross-fitted empirical likelihood on semiparametric models" as Editors' Choice of lead article, and 6 more fine contributions academic.oup.com/ectj/issue/2...

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization. This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

A case of regress in applied econometrics: Arellano Bond 91 on feedback in panel data was the most cited econ paper of all time. Recent focus on DiD, with or without heterogeneity, has given us methods which fail under feedback, which is omnipresent in dynamic models. A useful reassessment here:

Check out the video of Stéphane Bonhomme's brilliant Sargan Lecture on feedback and heterogeneity in panel data at the 2025 RES Annual Conference in Birmingham #RES2025 @resmedia.bsky.social #EctJ In Stéphane's words, let's get "Back to Feedback"! res.org.uk/videos/res20...

Enjoying a great day with #EctJ events at #RES2025. Stéphane Bonhomme gave the Sargan Lecture on dynamic feedback & unobserved heterogeneity in panel data. In EctJ’s Special Session, @asheshrambachan.bsky.social & Tim Christensen discussed challenges arising from using AI/LLMs in economic research

In een vierjarige regeringsperiode vijf jaar vertraging voor elkaar krijgen. Dan ben je echt indrukwekkend incompetent.

Ik dacht dat van OCW alles in het Nederlands moest en dan liefst voor studenten met een NLs paspoort maar ‘OCW ziet "meer mobiliteit in de wetenschap" en wil daarop inspelen. "Wat in je paspoort staat, maakt ons niet uit."’!

IPSOS finds collapse in European pro-US sentiment in last 6 months. In October 2024 50% of Dutch thought the US would have a positive influence on the world; in April 2024 that has plummeted to 20%. Similar drops in France, Italy, Germany et al. www.ipsos.com/en/americas-...

Waarin @universiteitennl.bsky.social er achter komen in de trojka van drs P te zitten. Hebben ze net een aantal opleidingen overboord gekieperd om het xenofobe kabinet te bewegen de taaltoets niet in te voeren, komt er prompt een bezuiniging overheen. Is het misschien tijd voor hardere actie?

Geen studentensportvoorzieningen meer. Geen studium generale meer. Geen universiteitsmuseum meer. Geen publiekslezingen meer. Geen hortus meer. Dan ook geen Bildung meer. Geen universiteit meer. Eppo maakt echt alles kapot. 🤬 delta.tudelft.nl/article/kabi...

Te lang bericht voor hier, dus maar een screenshot van mijn LinkedIn post. Ik begrijp en steun het zelfregievoorstel van @universiteitennl.bsky.social, en onze faculteit blijft buiten schot. Toch heb ik buikpijn van de blijvende en ongefundeerde afkeer van psychologen vanuit Den Haag

Bruins komt met Trumpiaanse haatpropaganda tegen de Nederlandse universiteiten. Het financieel slopen van het hoger onderwijs zijn voor Bruins en NSC niet genoeg. Vergeet niet dat Bruins bij zijn aantreden zei dat het zonder hem nog veel erger zou worden. Hoe dan?!

Dit is idd. schandalige framing - bij vreedzame demonstratie overtreed je net zomin de wet als met slenteren door winkelstraat. Door dit te stellen neemt nota bene Minister van Justitie het voortouw in extreemrechtse poging om demonstratierecht nog verder uit te kleden in plaats van beschermen. >>>

Who wins and loses from neighborhood change? We model consumption amenities as a market outcome where supply caters to the heterogenous tastes of local population. Our empirical application quantifies the distributional effects of mass tourism in Amsterdam.https://buff.ly/ZOQBK1V

The thing about Europe is it doesn't invest enough in defence. But nor does it joke about invading neighbours. The thing about Europe is its economy is ailing. But Europeans have no concept of "medical bankruptcy". My take this week on the truly free continent www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

Was the European Union set up “to screw the US”, as president Trump claims? Just read Dwight Eisenhower’s Diaries, and you will discover it was exactly the opposite: in the 1950s, America was quite desperate to help Europeans unite foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/24/e...

I think the Atlantic piece is probably the scoopiest scoop of the last few decades. And it has clarified one thing - other than the total idiocy of sending opsec over group chats - Hegseth and Vance have a genuine animosity towards Europe. Something for us all to ponder.

En het is inderdaad niet de eerste keer dat de baas van NWO hele vakgebieden, studies en groepen onderzoekers bij het vuil zet

Waarin de baas van NWO dan en passant studies waarvan hij zegt niet te weten waar ze over gaan als nutteloos wegzet

Wel informatief dat NWO-voorzitter (!) Levi zo helder onderscheid maakt tussen "internationale toppers" en al in NL werkzame onderzoekers. En dat hij denkt dat het voor zijn "toppers" aantrekkelijk is om naar een NLse universiteit te verkassen die zo onder druk wordt gezet nos.nl/nieuwsuur/ar...
