RIP Stan Fischer, a wonderful mentor, thinker, leader. Incorruptible, wise, and influential until the end. Unforgettable to all who had the honour of interacting with him.

In this excellent Comment in Nature, @patrickbolton.bsky.social, O. Edenhofer, A. Kleinnijenhuis, J. Rockström & @jzettelmeyer.bsky.social argue that it's in HICs' interest that they provide 0.3% of GDP in grants, conditional on decarbonization in the Global South. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why coalitions of wealthy nations should fund others to decarbonize

I published a short note on the implications of a proposed constitutional amendment in Germany, which includes an 11% of GDP fund for infrastructure and permission to fund most military spending outside the debt brake’s maximum deficit of 0.35% of GDP (Thread, 1/9): www.bruegel.org/analysis/can...

Can Germany afford to take most defence spending out of its debt brake?
Higher German defence spending would be fiscally sustainable, but would require cuts elsewhere and would breach EU fiscal rules
