I think I can prove it, but this comment isn't big enough for it...

Using German data, Tobias Broer, @jvkramer.bsky.social & Kurt Mitman show that oil supply shocks disproportionately impact low earners. Additionally, the results caution against a return to the wait-and-see approach by central banks that proved costly in 2021-22. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

The Figure shows the effect of a 10-percent increase in the price of oil on the labour-market outcomes of German workers: the average earnings of the employed (panel a); the earnings response across deciles of the earnings distribution at a 24-month horizon (panel b); the probability of remaining employed, across deciles (panel c); and the job-finding probability, across deciles (panel d). The shaded areas represent 68% confidence intervals. The sample period is 1975-2018.

The war in Iran has sent oil prices sharply higher, reviving the question of who bears the cost of energy shocks and how central banks should respond. Using nearly half a century of German data, this column shows that oil supply shocks disproportionately impact low earners, reducing their labour income and their chances of finding and keeping a job. The central bank’s moderate response to past oil shocks added little to this real damage, even as it held down inflation. With energy-driven inflation back on the agenda, the results caution against a return to the wait-and-see approach that proved costly in 2021-22.

When oil prices spike, inequality rises. Recent research by @sorrytobekurt.bsky.social & co-authors shows oil shocks hurt low-income workers the most, lowering earnings growth & job prospects while high-income workers are largely unaffected. Read more: bit.ly/4rRXNHw

So, it turns out this paper @sorrytobekurt.bsky.social, Tobias Broer and I wrote, which was recently published in the IMF ER is somewhat topical this weekend: Oil shocks hurt workers at the bottom of the income distribution most; through lower employment, but also lower earnings for the employed.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

This is a great resource! I've been using it for a bit now, and I am very much looking forward to the new chapters

That's a crazy throw. I guess the "selling it" could also refer to the third baseman acting like no throw was coming. The runner probably would have slid in otherwise.

In other news from #France, the household savings rate there (as elsewhere) is settling on a higher level. But plus 4%-points is a *huge* increase if it turns out to be permanent.

There didn't seem to be one, so I made a starter pack of people whose work I find interesting, and whose work other people who work in macro may find jnteresting. Highly incomplete, but maybe helpful to other newcomers. go.bsky.app/PRGAstf

Is there a starter pack for macroeconomics? If so, I'd be very happy to be pointed towards it

Many countries want to decarbonize their economies. Eg, the US aims to be net zero by 2050. Given this target: What is the optimal transition path? What are the main drivers and economic implications? Our Job Market Candidate Stefan Hinkelmann tackles these questions in his Job Market Paper.
