🚀 I'm on the #EconSky Job Market! My JMP asks a classic question: Do large, dominant firms foster or hinder innovation? To study this, I turn to the Great Merger Wave (1895–1904), when >2,600 U.S. firms combined into corporate giants like U.S. Steel and DuPont. A JMP 🧵👇 (1/13)

Very proud to see the results of this ambitious collaboration I have coordinated over the last year (31 authors!). Our paper provides new insights on fiscal drag in Europe through microsimulation. www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/scpw...

Political polarization in Europe is rising, but its impact on legislative gridlock depends on each country’s institutions. New indices reveal key differences across France, Germany, Spain and Italy. #bdeResearch 👉 www.bde.es/wbe/es/publi...

This paper by Nicolás Forteza and Sergio Puente develops a machine learning method to retrieve a continuous probability distribution of individual labor market attachment, contrasting the usual binary distinction. It improves links to employment flows and GDP. www.bde.es/wbe/es/publi...

Does it matter how the government finances its spending? We show that fiscal multipliers are larger when government spending is financed with short-term debt. The difference arises mainly from private consumption responses. www.bde.es/wbe/es/publi... #bdeResearch

As expected: 2/3 of 2015 refugees in Germany have a job. Not much different from natives. Indeed - THEY made it.

Arne, Fernando, and I are happy to share the updated version of the “jwdid” command for heterogeneity-robust estimations with non-linear outcomes and high-dimensional fixed effects, along with the corresponding paper. We hope it is useful. ideas.repec.org/p/drx/wpaper...

We have a new paper on the overstated effects of conventional monetary policy on output and prices. Results reported in the literature are plagued by p-hacking and publication bias, leading to inflated effect sizes of how interest rate hikes affect output and prices.

Happy to see our survey on #sanctions with @gfelbermayr.bsky.social, Cliff Morgan, and Costas Syropoulos published at the Annual Review of Economics. go.shr.lc/3Rtj9dP

On the one hand, Wow! On the other hand, not surprising that “the more you suffer, the more it shows you really care” was written by someone with a PhD.

Javier Flórez (@pseud0safari.bsky.social), Mario Larch, Sebastien Bradley, and I are very happy share the update of the most disaggregated dataset of consistently constructed international and domestic trade flows -- GRANTPA. So, let’s estimate GRAVITY with GRANTPA. ideas.repec.org/p/drx/wpaper...

One of the things I really love about my curated stream here on Bluesky is that I've filled it with a lot of experts who love what they know and want to share it. I learn shit-tons on my scrolls about things far from my experience I would never have run into in the wild.

The deadline has been extended to 29 May

I believe this means the sun will set over the entirety of the British Empire tonight for the first time in several hundred years. Chagos is the dot below India on this map. Sunset in the Pitcairns (dot in the Pacific) will happen ~40 minutes before sunrise in Akrotiri and Dhekelia (dot on Cyprus).

Early evening at the library.

This case in particular is a reminder that "proprietary data" and "anonymous partners" can occasionally be permitted for social science research, but should raise additional layers of scrutiny in the peer review process

Google Scholar has 4 hits for "quantitative trade model" and "untargeted moment". Ishan Nath (JPE 2025) is the only published of the four. QTM + "overidentification" yields 23 hits. Top result says overID is good idea. Are people using other phrases that I should search?

Despite the current challenges and prior doubts regarding the ability of GATT/WTO to promote international trade, the evidence from our meta-analysis is that the WTO/GATT effects on trade have been positive and significant. Happy 30th anniversary & thanks, GATT/WTO! ideas.repec.org/p/drx/wpaper...

1/n From the archive: is Econ graduate education at risk of training "savants idiots", 1990 edition Fears that econ graduate training has become too technicized has led, once again, to educational debates, so the AEA launched a huuuuuge survey of grad education, under the leadership of Ann Krueger

🚨 GRAVITY for UNDERGRADS🚨 Very happy to share “Gravity for Undergrads” - a Chapter, designed to introduce the gravity model to undergrads and novices in trade. It comes with data and code in Stata & R. I hope it is useful. Gravity rules 💪 yotoyotov.com/Gravity_Unde...
