To give another example: the Marie Curie Doctoral Networks. There is really nothing that matches this scheme (certainly not in the UK really) and the application effort is VAST. It’s widely expected people apply 2-3 times before they get funded. What a collosal waste of people’s time.

Over the next months, the EU will decide whether to water down car emission regulations, which currently prescribe the sale of zero-emission vehicles only from 2035 Predictably, the regulation is coming under attack from various political and media actors in Germany. A THREAD

Moving journals out of the control of greedy publishers is hard, as it requires collective action. Elsevier just made it way easier for the Game Theory and Behavioral Economics communities to migrate the journal back into our hands. Recommunalise journals, stop the drain! arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820

Interesting point from about at 28:00 about the presence of large markups in the fossil fuel sector giving breathing room to fossil fuels as renewables competition becomes stronger. #EconSky

Academia was so much better before Woke. Sure, David Hume was never able to secure an academic job because he might have been an atheist. But at least no one made him use the singular "they"

1. We—@eduede.bsky.social, @mjcrockett.bsky.social, Kevin Gross, and I—have a new preprint on the arXiv today, based on ideas that emerged during an @sfiscience.bsky.social workshop in November 2024: The unintended consequences of large language models as a labor-augmenting technology in science.

#EU manufacturing broadly outperforms the rest of the world in #productivity terms, but the industries in which it specialises are not always those in which it is relatively more productive. Policy should target weak #trade sectors. F Di Mauro, M Matani, G Ottaviano cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky
Chart showing the EU vs US: Relative state of technology by sector. The EU leads the US technologically in food products and wearing apparel.

Amid geopolitical shocks, the EU is revisiting its industrial strategy. However, traditional metrics often paint a misleading picture of Europe’s underlying strength. This column uses a new approach to measure the EU’s relative state of technology in different sectors. It shows that although EU manufacturing broadly outperforms the rest of the world in productivity terms, the industries in which it specialises are not always those in which it is relatively more productive. It argues that industrial policy must be rooted in productivity diagnostics and support should target sectors with strong relative state of technology but weak trade performance.

The Nievas-Piketty unequal exchange paper is certainly better than Hickel's, but their counterfactual assertion of convergence between countries in 1800-2025 is based on these entirely political-economy-free assumptions

I couldn't agree more! The excessive focus on linearized solutions to HA models is a bit like the old joke about the drunk who is looking for a key under a lamppost because that's where the light is. More discussion of why we need non-linear models and ways forward here benjaminmoll.com/challenge/
