The Free Municipality Experiments in Denmark exempted selected municipalities from 60–70% of national legislation in key areas, including primary education, daycare, eldercare. This led to substantial innovations resulting in proposals for broader reforms www.scup.com/doi/10.18261...

Há 5 anos um grupo de figuras do que era então o centro-direita moderado publicava um abaixo-assinado contra a deriva nacionalista e identitária. Alguns deles são hoje ministros da República. Como podem conviver, em silêncio, com estas declarações… eu não percebo.

Should statistical software that estimates causal effects also tell you the causal assumptions under which that estimate can be interpreted as causal? I don't know but my PhD student Maurice Korf has some thoughts (and software) to get the conversation going: academic.oup.com/ije/article/...

Europe needs to prepare to defend itself with less America. One challenge, is how to replace the potential loss of US ground forces. Poland, Germany, etc are doing their bit. But Europe needs a bolder approach. We call for Italy-Spain to lead a new European ground force www.csis.org/analysis/how...
