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.

🚨New article🚨 The consensus is that contestation pushed central banks to talk 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 about inequality & climate. Our theory: At first, CBs seek to ward off politicization by talking 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 about controversial topics. We tested this 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬.🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New Publication - with my BlueSky absent friend James Silverwood we detail how renewable energy markets were created by the environmental state in the UK - journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

What does de-risked decarbonization mean for state capacity across sectors? I am THRILLED that this article is now out in @ripejournal.bsky.social! 🔓 Current climate finance regimes lock in lopsided transitions - states need resources for unbankable transitions. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

New (open access!) paper out now with Eric Helleiner and Hongying Wang in New Political Economy: "A less reluctant (green) Atlas? Explaining the People’s Bank of China’s distinctive environmental shift" 1/ A brief thread 🧵 doi.org/10.1080/1356...

Mark Blyth and I sang a duet. It’s about how a country’s growth model shapes its state capacity to decarbonize - both the advantages and disadvantages. Enjoy! @ripejournal.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My co-author @james7jackson.bsky.social with a short blog for @cepi-cips.bsky.social on the looming climate-related risks and financial instability facing the insurance sector. Our recent work identifies 3 (or 4?) causes of "practical ignorance" when pricing in CRFR www.cips-cepi.ca/2025/04/22/h...

New article! This review surveys the state of knowledge regarding central bank activity on climate change, and argues that there is considerable indeterminacy in the trajectory of this activity & its potential to contribute to effective climate action. doi.org/10.1080/0964...

And another timely article in NPE from Ban & @jhasselbalch.bsky.social questions whether we need to transcend the Green State concept (too siloed?) and focus instead on a ‘green economic planning’ agenda! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

New publication! Does assuming a greater role in climate governance risk repoliticising central banks and undermining CBI? (A thread) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
