Gabriel Zucman argues that empirically, with the right controls, 🇪🇺's economy does no worse than 🇺🇸 since 1990. It is noteworthy, but not because doing better or worse than 🇺🇸 should be so relevant. Rather, because it highlights that 🇪🇺 is in a remarkable era of healthy expansion and growth.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU

The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

A case of regress in applied econometrics: Arellano Bond 91 on feedback in panel data was the most cited econ paper of all time. Recent focus on DiD, with or without heterogeneity, has given us methods which fail under feedback, which is omnipresent in dynamic models. A useful reassessment here:
