This paper shows: the 2022 energy crisis led to record global profits for fossil fuel companies. The US gained the most, with claims on US$301 billion, exceeding its US$267 billion investment in low-carbon energy. Half of profits went to the top1%, mainly through stock ownership

Hi bsky people - if you care about how the EU seeks to fund all things "social-ecological transformation", which institutional architecture has emerged out of it, and why it is both contested and an unrealized promise: please have a look at our special issue on the politics of sustainable finance 👇

🚨New article🚨 Why has the promise of universal ownership been broken, as @benbraun.bsky.social has suggested? Our argument: because the Big Three are hardly universal. They mainly invest in those that can insulate themselves from environmental harm - big tech & financials in the Global North. 🧵

Tu te demandes si tu es sociologue, historienne ou économiste ? Tu veux tester tes connaissances sur les locutions latines préférées de Bourdieu, ou connaître la différence entre M. Mauss et K. Moss ? Camille François et Altaïr Desprès ont les réponses à ces questions. Version papier seulement.

Ce matin sur Inter, Villeroy de Galhau, gouverneur de la BdF, a joué sur les deux tableaux de l'expert indépendant qui donne en réalité son avis personnel. C'est de bonne guerre (?), mais on a le droit de lui répondre.

Actually, research has also challenged the negative correlation between CBI and inflation as a case of confusing cause and effect. CBI is not the *cause* of low inflation. CBI is the *consequence* of a pre-existing sociopolitical consensus on low inflation promoted after the 1970s stagflation.

NEW PUBLICATION - The Great Dane @mathiaslarsen.bsky.social Larsen and I review the differing concepts of state-led approaches to the green transition over the past two decades. We attempt to provide some conceptual coherence to the debate. The article is Open Access.

Central bankers as neutral, science-based policymakers? A new study in @jcms-eu.bsky.social co-authored by @jdeyris.bsky.social and Matthias Thiemann shows that ECB governors, depending on the inflation "season", make selective use of data, theories and indicators to adapt to national preferences. ⤵️

Since the start of von der Leyen's second mandate, EU sustainable finance norms face intense dismantling pressures. My new @JEPP article shows this started years ago when the fossil fuel industry “woke up” to the EU Taxonomy. 🧵 #EUTaxonomy #SustainableFinance👇 1/10

Migrating birds, selective blindness, strategic skepticism, weaponized uncertainty – this paper has it all. Do give it a read, it's excellent work.

We were exploring "cost shocks coordinate price hikes" but man did we see a lot of evidence for "CEOs are bs crazy" All jokes aside: reading all these transcripts provided a lot of insight into how the 2021-2022 allowed firms to raise prices

Pour les nerds de politique, la primaire démocrate des municipales à NYC prévue pour le 24 juin est fascinante. D’abord pour son mode de scrutin (préférentiel à tours multiples instantanés), et aussi car elle symbolise la bataille qui fait rage entre l’élite du parti et sa frange progressiste. 🍿🍿
