I am looking for a PhD student in Comparative Politics @powimz.bsky.social. My research focuses on political (in-)equality, representation, and responsiveness. I would be grateful if you could help to spread the word. stellenboerse.uni-mainz.de#/jgu/job/49637

In our new article, Jens Beckert and I ask how "Capital and the Family" interconnect in contemporary capitalism. We argue that they come together in owning relations - and are crucial to today's economy. Read more in @bjsociology.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Having read “economic sociology” throughout my PhD, constantly wowed, it was such a treat to be invited to write an essay for it. Drawing on my work on cities, bond markets, and infrastructure, I discuss how the subfield can take up climate adaptation and inequality.

🚨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/...

This looks excellent! A sober look at what pension funds can and cannot do under the existing macrofinancial regime.

Since the great financial crisis, much has been written in CPE on the fate of South European economies. Have they really morphed into export-led growth models? With what outcomes? Are their trajectories convergent? In this new DP, we use granular data to put claims from the literature to the test 🧵

In the age of asset manager capitalism, do asset owners still matter? And what does this mean for the green transition? @nataschavanderzwan.bsky.social and I investigate this through an in-depth study of how some of the most important asset owners - pension funds - invest. Now out in SER! 🧵

In a new MPIfG Discussion Paper, @fbulfone.bsky.social, @m-stratenwerth.bsky.social, and @aritassinari.bsky.social trace the growth trajectories of Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain from the financial crisis to the covid pandemic. ‬ 🔗 pure.mpg.de/pubman/faces...
