@arkadijs.bsky.social on the market this year!

Ir izveidots publisks Whatsapp kanāls, kur sekot līdzi informācijai par protestu. Īpaši svarīgi tas būs tieši pirms protesta un protesta laikā - saukļiem, koordinācijai, aktuālākajai drošības informācijai uz vietas utt. Ja nāksi uz protestu, noteikti pievienojies: ej.uz/nke4

Tuvojas Latvijas Bankas tautsaimniecības konference. Šoreiz - par kreditēšanu. Esam paveikuši lielu darbu, kreditēšana strauji aug. Ko darīt, lai tā būtu vēl straujāka un palīdzētu ekonomikai augt sekmīgāk? Aicinām ekonomikas interesentus pievienoties diskusijām 21.novembrī.

“If you have a question about the universe, you always have a few possibilities—in particular through language. The power of the word is, for me, the only way to get closer to this hidden reality.” We’ve unlocked our Art of Fiction interview with László Krasznahorkai. buff.ly/5rxtimk

Presenting today at the Journées Louis-André Gérard-Varet 2025 conference in Marseille #lagv #amse

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Now, more than ever

I’ve never listened to @pkrugman.bsky.social as often as I have in the past few months. Smart, clear, concise

For no particular reason, it might be a good time to repost my Starter pack of academic economists who study international trade go.bsky.app/G3dqAYg

Brīdinām par krāpniekiem, kuri izmantojot "WhatsApp", uzdodas par Latvijas Bankas pārstāvjiem. Aicinām ignorēt šādus ziņojumus un brīdināt tuviniekus, īpaši tos, kas varētu būt vieglāk pakļaujami šādām krāpnieciskām darbībām. Latvijas Banka šādā veidā nesazinās! Plašāk: www.bank.lv/aktualitates...

👋 Sveiciens visiem Blue Sky iemītniekiem! Turpmāk šeit varēsiet uzzināt par ekonomiku, finanšu sistēmu, naudu un ne tikai. Lai gan platforma daudziem no mums ir jauna, lielai daļai kā centrālā banka esam labi pazīstami. Tomēr padalieties – par kādiem tematiem jūs gribētu dzirdēt no Latvijas Bankas?

Nobody expected Latvia goalie Linards Feldbergs to finish his #WorldJuniors with 210 saves. Or to upset Canada in the prelims. But those close to him also aren't surprised by his performance. How the 🇱🇻 goalie became the feel-good story of the tournament:

Got the ball rolling on a Fed Economists starter pack go.bsky.app/GudXeoo Fed economists, let me know if you’re on Bluesky and I’ll add you

Antonio Afonso, Jose Alves, Olegs Matvejevs and myself investigate the impact of the term structure of public debt on fiscal sustainability. We demonstrate that sovereign borrowing with maturity above 10 years reduces primary balance reaction to public debt. datnes.latvijasbanka.lv/papers/WP_5-...

Made what I believe to be the first "Macroeconomics and Finance" starter pack! Do send me recommendations or requests to join. It's a broad umbrella - so not just for economists! Practitioners, industry, and adjacent policy folks are all welcome. go.bsky.app/PF8LBMv

I couldn't see an overall starter pack for FT journalists active on Bluesky. So given the recent influx of new people on here, I thought it'd be useful to make one. Do shout out all the people I've inevitably missed and I'll update go.bsky.app/FuqnwdD
