In his contribution to CEPR's Europe 2050 series, @tomvalletti.bsky.social offers a provocative reframing of Europe's innovation deficit: the problem is not only one of scale, capital, or regulation, but of market structure. Read the paper to see his solutions. ow.ly/BblM50Zey9S #Europe2050 #EconSky

1/ From the US FTC to Saudi Arabia, antitrust agencies are building computational tools. Bid-rigging detectors. Contract scrapers. LLMs for spotting illegal information exchanges. Antitrust 3.0 is here. The question is what gets left behind. #computationalantitrust

New working paper on competition in meal delivery 🍔📦 Using detailed local data and within-market variation, we uncover how competition shapes prices and demand across restaurants. Turns out, the effects are more nuanced than you might expect. Take a look 👇 papers.ssrn.com/abstract=632...

Well deserved!

Last year I said that giving the Prize to AJR was a missed opportunity to award Joel Mokyr. This year he's getting it. So incredibly well deserved! Aghion & Howitt share it with him and I think it's a great selection! www.nobelprize.org/prizes/econo...

🎖️ The Prize in Economic Sciences is awarded to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt! Over the last two centuries the world has seen sustained economic growth. This year’s laureates explain how innovation provides the impetus for further progress. #PrizeinEconomicSciences #NobelPrize

The other day a student asked me about the prevalence of insider trading in prediction markets. I now have an answer.

Happy to announce our paper just landed in Research Policy! 🚀 @marekgiebel.bsky.social & I ask: when NASA licenses technology, does it boost innovation on Earth? Spoiler: yes. Turns out “rocket science” is also innovation economics. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #EconSky #NASA #Innovation
