❓Do people trust the ECB’s 2% inflation target? A new study by @wc0leman.bsky.social & Nautz shows: in spite of the symmetry of the ECB’s target, trust drops only when inflation is too high. 👉 berlinschoolofeconomics.de/about-us/new... #inflationtargets #europeancentralbank

Bologna zieht mehr als ein Jahr nach der Einführung des Tempolimits eine positive Bilanz: Bessere Luft, mehr Nutzer f. ÖPNV und Rad, kein toter Fußgänger. Zum Glück wird uns in Berlin die #CDU #SPD vor diesem Schreckensszenario schützen ... @senmvku.bsky.social www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

On the tariffs @strangeloopcanon.com over at the other place has pretty convincing evidence that the White House may have used LLMs to come up with its tariff model and that that evidence may have come from LLM scraping of a Peter Navarro book. We are in the dumbest AI timeline.

Irre. Am Bodensee sollten 2 Fähren auf Elektro-Betrieb umgestellt werden. Da aber die Binnenschifffahrt in Deutschland von der Mineralöl- und CO2-Steuer befreit wäre (Strom aber mit Steuern und Abgaben belastet wird) wäre der Betrieb im Jahr 520.000€ teurer. Tja.

DIW-Energieökonomin @ckemfert.bsky.social kritisiert die Pläne der Koalition als fehlgeleitete Energiepolitik. Sie sind teuer, sozial ungerecht & ineffizient. Besser wären z.B. zielgerichtete Tarife für Wärmepumpen oder Elektromobilität gewesen. Mehr lesen Sie hier: www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....

A pretty dark day for climate policy. Slowing down the annual escalator (of 15$), yes. But setting the non-industrial carbon tax rate straight to 0%? Well I am sure there will be no lack of supply of climate pundits arguing carbon pricing has no effect on emissions anyways etc.

🤯 Mindblowing: Gasheizung doppelt so teuer, wie Wärmepumpe. Velleicht vielleicht war es falsch der BILD-Zeitung und der fossilen Lobby zu glauben. Aber viel Spaß mit der neuen Gasheizung.

Happy to present my new project „Gender differences in sustainable investment preferences under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation: A discrete choice experiment“ at this years AURÖ workshop. It is joint work with @achimhagen.bsky.social and the @pecan-research.bsky.social group.

1/ I suspect we are days away from hearing Elon is "using AI" to “streamline” benefits programs. You should know why fully automating decisions about who gets critical assistance is a terrible idea that will have disastrous consequences. A 🧵 based on work I’ve done with the great @awhf.bsky.social

Machen wir uns nichts vor: in den nächsten Jahren wird Klimapolitik (zumindest in der westlichen Welt) nicht im Mittelpunkt stehen. Das Blöde ist nur: das Problem wird trotzdem bleiben und sich nicht von alleine lösen.

I like this take by @mattyglesias.bsky.social a great deal. In fact, @fgenovese.bsky.social and I discuss climate compensation in the context of that intertemporal dilemma, namely as a way for governments to increase the patience of losers and thus buy the time that is necessary for

Yes, they can hallucinate papers that don't exist, discuss results that seem to be imaginary, and can be confusing and inconsistent. But talking to tenured professors may still be helpful

Something crucial missing in the inflation debate? The deep sense of inequity & injustice it creates. Lower-income households report making more costly adjustments to cope & many believe higher-income wages keep up with prices easily. For people, it’s about more than prices: it’s also about fairness

How can open-ended survey questions reveal deeper insights into economic behavior? Our completely revised paper (with new title!) explores recent developments, practical applications & best practices for designing & analyzing these powerful questions.

The more I think of data in terms of distributions the less satisfied I am with explanations of the type "on average, ...". If you measure the discrepancy between two groups, you might do it via means, but those are only stand-ins for the entire distribution. Usually, in the mean-area both 1/

The "benefits of climate change" argument is back, thanks to incoming Energy Secretary, and just as wrong as last time you heard it. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

A common theme elsewhere, too. Here: Germans being asked about the economic situation of Germany (left), and their personal situation. It doesn’t quite match.

Really don’t understand how the city cut free museum entry every first Sunday of a month and still has so much free parking spots in the city…

The city-state of #Berlin is cutting spending severely to plug a €3bn hole in its budget. Untouchable: the parking permit for residents. It stays at an actually loss-making €10.20 per year. Lost. Absolutely lost.

Some of the most important lottery anomalies from the behavioral risk literature (e.g., probability weighting and loss aversion) actually have nothing to do with risk. They also arise in perfectly deterministic settings. Lead article in the latest AER issue: www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...
