Excited to share that I’m starting a PhD at FU Berlin in the EQUALFIN program, funded by the Hans-Böckler-Stiftung! My research will focus on shifts in the IMFS, such as changing dynamics between the dollar and oil prices. If you’re in Berlin and/or working on related topics, I’d love to connect.

Given Trump’s current attacks on the Fed, we should not fall back on defending the policy regime that is partly responsible for the current state of affairs. It is imperative to push our own progressive project. Worth reading @adamtooze.bsky.social here: adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-...

Este articulo parece escrito como si las dos últimas décadas no hubieran existido y pasa por alto la diferencia fundamental entre deuda en moneda propia y moneda extranjera. Conviene recordar que el gasto público destinado al pago de intereses es bajo desde una perspectiva histórica.

El problema del títol d'"economista" és que un cap de suro amb un títol d'ADE, un màster en neuromarketing (lol) i una experiència laboral basada en prometre retorns del 15% sense risc (lol), se'l pot autoatorgar sense que ningú ho qüestioni.

The next step is for these companies to start posting their bitcoins as collateral to borrow short-term in the money markets, in order to fund the purchase of more bitcoins and further boost their share prices. If we're going to have a financial crisis, I want it to be as dumb as possible.

Great graph from the last @irena-official.bsky.social report, which illustrates the centrality of financing costs in renewable electricity LCOE, especially in Africa. Bringing down financing costs for renewable projects is central to boosting the green transition worldwide.

A common feature across most studies on the economic impacts of climate change is the finding of non-linearity, meaning that economic damages increase disproportionately as climate change intensifies. What we know from the past gives us little guidance for understanding the world we are heading into

Power plants can be negatively impacted by too hot weather. Nuclear plants have reduced electricity generation due to a lack of cooling water. Even gas plants struggle. That drives up electricity prices across Europe. 💡📈 www.euronews.com/2025/07/02/f...

Algunas reflexiones sobre lo que hemos vivido estos últimos meses, con mirada larga. Punto de partida: la izquierda transformadora ya no gestiona una salida progresista de crisis, sino que debe preparar a la sociedad para enfrentar una nueva configuración del poder. Y eso implica cambio de enfoque.

Huge: renewable energy overtakes coal for the first time in Poland. "The country now boasts 23 gigawatts of installed solar capacity — more than three times the 2030 target set in 2021 — largely thanks to a solar energy push from the former PiS government."

The @ecb.europa.eu updated its strategy, but it reads more like self-praise than serious review. 🌍No concrete tools to address climate shocks & impact on price stability ⚠️No serious look at how rate hikes worsen inequality Our @jordischroeder.bsky.social explains: positivemoney.org/eu/update/ho...

Race, what race?

Using a model that didn't include supply shocks, we found that the inflation was not caused by supply shocks.

The ECB present the results of its strategy assessment. Whereas the 2021 strategy review focused on flexibility when responding to shocks, the ECB now argues that a more forceful response is needed. This can have important distributive consequences going forward. www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/dat...

Hi @isabelschnabel.bsky.social, there's a point that puzzles me from your recent speech. Back in 2022, you argued that a flat Philips Curve justified a forceful reaction by the ECB. Yet in your latest speech, you suggest that a steep Phillips Curve also calls for a forceful reaction.

Finally out #openaccess! Why does the largest trading bloc on the planet have a miniature-sized currency? With Trump, the EU will again much regret this. 🎈We set out to theorise failure and develop a new IPE perspective that foregrounds offshore money. Quick thread 🧵

Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

La principal resistencia del centroizquierda a nacionalizar sectores estratégicos suele ser costes: bien porque saldría caro, bien porque no se notaría. Sin embargo, cuando se afirma que la gestión pública directa es más eficiente, se alude precisamente a momentos como este. La titularidad importa.

Lagarde: "anybody in this room who thinks we are in a shock-free world, would I suggest maybe raise their hands or have their heads examined"

Lagarde names two geopolitical conflicts: "Russia's unjustified invasion of Ukraine" and "the tragic conflict in the Middle East." The latter also has a perpetrator that deserves to be named as explicitly as Russia is.

"the outlook for growth has deteriorated owing to rising trade tensions. Increased uncertainty is likely to reduce confidence among households and firms, and the adverse and volatile market response to the trade tensions is likely to have a tightening impact on financing conditions."
