Diese Unternehmen sind übrigens diejenigen, die mit #Ordnungspolitik sehr viel anfangen können. Gerade weil sie i.d.R. keinen direkten Draht in die Politik haben, brauchen sie fairen Wettbewerb + die Möglichkeit, sich im Rahmen der Regeln unternehmerisch frei entfalten zu können.

@jottes Jetzt müssten Sie nur noch verstehen, dass es innerhalb des Europäischen Emissionshandels kein CO2-Molekül weniger in der Atmosphäre gibt, nur weil Deutschland fünf Jahre früher fertig ist.
Listen to the science, z.B. auf Ökonomen, die Ihnen erklären können, wieso es dem Klima nichts bringt, wenn innerhalb eines länderübergreifenden Emissionshandels ein Land schneller klimaneutral ist als die anderen.

Ein weiteres Beispiel dafür, dass wirtschaftliche Anreize wichtig sind und wirken. Es ist dieses Wissen, das im VWL Studium vermittelt wird, um Wirtschaftspolitik zu gestalten. Modelle sind dabei wichtig, da sie es erlauben, die Auswirkungen von Politikänderungen abzuschätzen.

@BachmannRudi @gelbe_wand @martyna_lin @TiloJung @ManuelMenkhoff Nicht für mansplaining, sondern für Steuern. ;-) Inhaltlich bin ich voll bei Rudi. Die Metastudie ist schwierig, da die zugrundeliegenden Studien eigentlich alle nicht kausal sind. Zu Investitionen gibt es viel klare und kausale Evidenz.
Als Kölner bin ich fortschreitende Innenstadtverwahrlosung ja gewöhnt und klar, jede Stadt hat ihre Ecken aber Alter, Frankfurt. Das ist nicht mal mehr Verwahrlosung, das ist völlige Resignation. Die Stadt ist sonst echt ganz nett aber das Bahnhofsviertel, alter Verwalter.
A proposal for a Eurobond by @ojblanchard1 and @AngelUbide @PIIE : here is what I agree with and why I disagree overall with their proposal. (1) Agree: Yes, if we want to offer an alternative to the US$, we need to talk of large European debt. piie.com/blogs/realtime…
RIP Stan. Stan was my mentor and my friend. He was an outstanding economist, an outstanding policy maker, but even more importantly, a great human being. Science, commitment, honesty, and humility at the service of humankind. piie.com/publications/p…
Terrible, sad news. We lost a giant, one of those whose work made me fall in love with macro, a person of enormous class and kindness. Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

@schnellenbachj Doch. Aber die nutzen - wie übrigens auch deutsche Dachdecker - inzwischen intensiv Drohnen. Der Unterschied ist, dass man dies in der deutschen Debatte weitgehend ignoriert. Der Dachdecker ist die Trümmerfrau des 21. Jahrhunderts. Einfach zu praktisch für die Rentendebatte...

Schulden sind dauerhaft keine Lösung, man muss an die Ursachen ran. Wirksame Reformen bei Grundsicherung und Rente. Abbau von Regulierung. Steuersenkungen, Maßnahmen zur Stärkung des Arbeitsvolumens. Man könnte auch einen Feiertag streichen. deutschlandfunk.de/grimm-fordert-…
Spending freely on defense in Germany?
Recent financial market developments are a clear reminder of how important a resilient and well-capitalised banking system is for the real economy, Supervisory Board Chair Claudia Buch tells the Eurogroup.
Happy Easter everyone! I am still glowing from our 300km Audax on Saturday which has raised some €17,500 for the purchase of a used ambulance that will be donated to Ukraine as part of Chainreaction Bike Convoy for Ukraine.
