Excited to share our publication in the Journal of International Money and Finance 📢🚨: How strong is the link between the global financial cycle and national macro-financial dynamics? A wavelet analysis (with Christian Proaño / @uni-bamberg.de & Till Strohsal / @hwrberlin.bsky.social) #econsky

Germany inscribed austerity in its constitution. The “debt brake” is so rigid that The Economist has called it an instrument of “self harm”. Reform is overdue. I’m honored to be appointed by the Finance Ministry to serve on the expert commission in charge of fiscal rules.

Exciting start of the 7th Behavioral Macroeconomics Workshop at @uni-bamberg.de with a great keynote lecture by James Bullard (former president of the @stlouisfed.bsky.social, now at Purdue). Touching upon optimal monetary policy with heterogeneous agents and distributional aspects. #econsky

Interesting work👇

dplyr.tidyverse.org, tidyr.tidyverse.org, and ggplot2.tidyverse.org now have an experimental "ask AI" button powered by kapa.ai. It uses the contents of all 3 sites to (hopefully!) better answer your tidyverse questions. This is very much an experiment so please let me know what you think! #rstats

Interested in international macroeconomics & finance at the PhD level and beyond? Here is a selection of valuable resources blending theory and empirics that I've personally found useful 🧵👇:

Graduate lecture notes (and extra course material) on Bayesian econometrics by Gary Koop.

Olivier Blanchard argues that we should understand better the macroeconomics of the medium run, and I could not agree more. Since I have been working on this for a while, let me show you why this is a promising field for young researchers!
