How to measure climate ambition? I don't know, but the commonly used linear annualization (LAR) favors short, shallow targets, compared to a compound one (CAR). New paper in Economics Letters. Open-access link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Spain and Korea have a similar GDP pc PPP (59-68 k$ acc. to the IMF in 2026). In Korea, each generation is richer than the previous one, while in Spain, real wages have stagnated since the baby boom generation.

Solar and batteries are cheap enough that most people can get most of their electricity from them, and save money. This equation gets better and better over time as their costs decline. All details in a new blog post: nworbmot.org/blog/solar-b...

The log axis obscures the huge inequality at the top: the European top 1% make 767 k $ PPP, whereas the American top 1% make 1.8 M $ PPP.

The US and the Euro area have roughly the same population and median income per capita in purchasing power parity. The poorest half of Europeans are richer than their American counterparts, and the richest half of Americans are richer than their European peers.
