Haben die Linke-Wählenden überhaupt mal in deren Parteiprogramm geschaut? Da steht klar "Mehr Investitionen in Militarisierung und Aufrüstung lehnen wir ab." Sich dann aber Sorgen um den Schutz Deutschlands machen 🤦‍♂️

@jburnmurdoch.bsky.social discusses the dramatic collapse in the survey response rates. The UK's response rate below 20% is bonkers. And what is Romania doing to have a rate of 93.9%? Link: on.ft.com/3Zl6ltv Gift link for non-FT subscribers (opens three times): on.ft.com/4gdBfes

The latest findings using ASHE data reveal that hiring wage gaps between men and women still account for over half of the gender pay gap in Great Britain. Even when hired into the same job, men earn 2.6% more. Check out the paper to find out more: www.iza.org/publications... #EconSky

We find that employers respond to the AE mandate by reducing extra pay, while basic pay is unaffected. A typical worker experiences a 2% increase in employer's pension contributions, together with an extra pay reduction of 0.9%. 4/6

We analyse the rollout of the UK's nationwide AE mandate to answer this question. Using administrative payroll-based data, first we confirm a large effect on participation rates which coincides with the employer’s staging date: 2/6

The Fed's "higher for longer" has led to a major bond market sell-off, pushing long-term bond yields higher in many countries, e.g., the UK and Germany. @financialtimes.com on.ft.com/3LN8iJg

Government bond interest rates in the US, Uk, and Germany are rising after the Fed signals that rates would stay "higher for longer"
