I had a very productive day discussing public investment and global public goods at the @clubdemadrid.bsky.social I am delighted to give a hand on their 2026 Policy Dialogue on the importance of governing and financing Global Public Goods in a difficult geopolitical environment

Chinese producers became better capitalists than the "OG" capitalists.

NEV growth in China is driven by BEV as you can see. EREV look pretty much stable. BEV are simply the way to go.

The roots of today’s #affordability crisis actually lie not in recent price spikes, but in the long-term suppression of workers’ pay, chart @hshierholz.bsky.social @ms.now www.ms.now/opinion/infl...

substack.com/@paulkrugman... In difficult, worrying, often depressing times, @pkrugman.bsky.social (and Robin Wells) is an inspiration. To all who (still) believe in the value of respect for facts, analytical rigour, open debate, public spiritedness, hard work (and a sense of humour).

Interesting panel on opportunities and challenges posed by #AI at the 2025 Imperial Springs International Forum for Global Cooperation and Solidarity. Later today I will have the honour to animate the panel on governing and financing Global Public Goods #ClubdeMadrid #ISIF2025

If you're looking to be a big LNG exporter you would not want to rely too much on Europe. But you also might not want to be fighting for price-sensitive Asian markets, especially if you're further away... www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

On my way back from Köln after an intense and challenging workshop on EU fiscal challenges. It is heartwarming to see critical, yet open minded young scholars, commit to improving the European project. Congratulations, Lucio Baccaro,for nurturing such an excellent group of young researchers.

The EU never disappoints when it is about being on the wrong side of history

From the latest big Foreign Affairs energy piece, by Jason Bordoff & Megan O'Sullivan. They're comparing one scenario published in 2024 with a completely different type of scenario (to be) published in 2025 - to say oil demand will rise and therefore problems of supply crunch/concentration loom.

Ethiopia last year banned the import of new gasoline-powered cars. Nepal reduced import duties on EVs so much that they are now cheaper than cars with internal combustion engines. Brazil raised tariffs on car imports to compel Chinese automakers to set up plants inside Brazil. Etc

German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery. CATL, BYD et al must be laughing all the way to the bank. Sigh. www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/w...

Sono molto onorato per l'invito a tenere la decima Einaudi Lecture organizzata dal Dipartimento di Economia dell'Università di Torino. Cercherò di ragionare su come l'Europa possa districarsi da questa situazione "complicata" Se siete a Torino, domattina ore 10 all'Aula Magna del Campus Einaudi

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

This new ECB paper serves as a reference guide to ECB models and empirical benchmarks on monetary policy transmission and extensively reports the findings of our recent meta-analysis on the effects of conventional monetary policy on output and prices.

First visit of the two days study trip to Brussels with the Northwestern-Sciences Po program on EU Affairs. We are at @etui.bsky.social welcomed by @andrewwatteu.bsky.social and Bart Vanhercke to discuss EU social policies in this delicate moment

Jobs numbers, per ADP. Back in the black but not by much--and 3-month moving average basically zero.

BYD operates one of Latin America’s largest EV plants in Brazil. "Built on the site of a shuttered Ford facility, the 4.6-million-square-meter complex is expected to produce up to 300,000 cars a year." BYD takes over a closed Ford plant. Legacy auto shrinks. #energysky www.cnbc.com/2025/11/05/c...

Very interesting debate on who's winning the #AI debate. Very far from being settled #China #US on.ft.com/47ForL4

History shows that #bubbles typically arise around transformative #innovation that attracts investor and corporate enthusiasm. In turn, that drives up asset prices and #capacity expansion far ahead of fundamentals, chart #GoldmanSachs

China dominates the supply of rare earths that are essential to iPhones and missiles alike, giving it leverage in the trade war with the US. Here's what to know

Interesting article on the new round of #China #US confrontation. US officials seem to think that there are differences between Chinese administrations. My perception is that China carefully plans and executes strategies. Contrary to… on.ft.com/475ahTb

Ein Jahr nach Veröffentlichung des #Draghi-Berichts steckt Europa tiefer in der Krise als vorher: Nur wenige Empfehlungen wurden umgesetzt, die Kommission ist passiv, die Mitgliedstaaten blockieren – außer beim Wettrüsten. Ein Beitrag von @fsaraceno.bsky.social: makronom.de/europa-sitzt...

Oggi alle 12:30 sono al Festival dell’economia critica in Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli per un panel su “Capitalismo, Stato e Europa”, con un panel di tutto rispetto. Sono grato per l’invito!

Je ne sais pas s'il y aura des élections, mais ça serait vraiment le bon moment pour reparler des services publics en général et en particulier de l'école publique. Soutenir ses agents, les reconnaître, en recruter, reconstruire la confiance, programmer des moyens pour plusieurs années...

Et on ne voit pas comment ça pourrait changer.

One year after the #Draghi Report, #Europe remains trapped in a cycle of low productivity and weak #investment
