Less income #inequality between #EU states is driven by labour incomes in lower-income countries. A more centralised fiscal framework can play a crucial role in shaping EU-wide inequality. @stefanofilauro.bsky.social @zparolin.bsky.social @pietrovaletto.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

#Elon wants to “Make Europe Great Again”. I know a man with a plan… #DraghiReport #EUSky

PAA & the Association of Population Centers call for re-opening access to crucial #data, to enable research on health and wellbeing. Blocking these data is nonsensical. We researchers must not surrender. This is a time to make good trouble. @stone-lis.bsky.social @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social

🇺🇳Abolishing #USAID will be the final nail in the coffin of the #UnitedNations Sustainable Development Goals. 🌍I can’t believe this is what the world has come to…

I’m in the @europarl.europa.eu today to listen to the Socialists & Democrats’ solutions to “Capital and Wealth Taxation” #EconSky #EUsky @feps-europe.eu @socialistsanddemocrats.eu

Hello LIS! Welcome to Bluesky! Welcome from your/our friends at the GC-CUNY Stone Center!🍎 @stone-lis.bsky.social @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social

🤔 It might be a good idea to condense it into an actionable playbook for #progressive policymakers. But first I need to finish it 🥲 #EconSky @josephestiglitz.bsky.social

📖I’m truly enjoying @josephestiglitz.bsky.social’s new book. It’s very elegant in its dissection of the failure of “free” markets and its proposals for a new progressive vision of government’s role in the economy. #econtwitter

I was today years old when I learned that my local #coffee shop is selling me espresso at a loss. Coffee prices are +300% since 2020 and a coffee is still €1.2. Their bet is to lose money on coffee but win big when I land on the pastry display. So far it's payed off 90% of the time. #EconSky

Wow it wasn't all a dream 1459 days to go

Thank you @danpfeiffer.bsky.social I really needed to hear this today

Are we ready for the four longest years of our lives? #Trump

There's something magical about the fact that the #WorldEconomicForum is starting the same day as #Trump is sworn back into office.

The longest four years of our lives start today! #USA #Trump

First Opinion piece, courtesy of @euobserver.com Let me know what you think! #EuropeanUnion #EUBubble

No one really wants to #TaxTheRich... In my debut #Opinion piece ( @euobserver.com ) I discuss how the recent failure of the "Tax the Rich" petition shows current #progressive parties are all bark and no bite. #Inequality #EuropeanUnion #EUBubble

Personally I agree we need more #housing, but am skeptical about endorsing a "build, baby build" approach. Need to assure it's sustainable (urban density > sprawl) and equitable. TLDR: Supply matters and we need more homes but so does their distribution and environmental impact. #EconSky #YIMBY

Which #Economics related #podcast or #newsletter have you recommended to a friend time and time again? #Econsky

My favorite #Xmas tradition. Guests leave just in time for Christmas at the Garden and I’m cracking open a newly gifted book in the commercial break. #Knicks

My #SpotifyWrapped taught me I listen to way more Chappell Roan than I originally thought. Pleasantly surprised.

Any other europhiles on #bluesky? #europeanunion

Every now and then I see folks asking @hankgreen.bsky.social to run for office. While Senator Green sounds amazing, I think his current work in social entrepreneurship & education creates more positive change than any one member of Congress could ever achieve single handedly. Thoughts? 🤔

This is a little bit of a joke, but I kinda think the solution to the problem of educational polarization is free college for all.

Happy #Monday from Brussels! What are you looking forward to in #December?

Why do working-class families pay more #taxes filling up their car to get to work and take their kids to school than #billionaires do for their #privatejet flights or #yacht excursions to their exclusive vacation spots? We should #TaxLuxuryEmissions as proposed by @shelley-w.bsky.social

👋 Hello #BlueSky! I guess it’s time to introduce myself to this new world. Nice to meet you, my name is Pietro…

A lot of stuff flows downstream from the aspiration to create a Nordic-scale welfare state without Nordic-style taxation.

SNAP work requirements fail to increase employment. Just plain getting on SNAP does improve labor market outcomes. www.hamiltonproject.org/publication/... #EconSky
