Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, an longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today
Il n’y a pas de contradiction: tout le monde est matraqué fiscalement et subventionné en même temps. La tuyauterie est totalement opaque, le système hyper compliqué, qu’il crée la suspicion légitime que le premier qui renoncera à son bout de lard sera le dindon de la farce.…

Je ne reviendrai pas à RTL. C’est ma décision. Voici pourquoi. Il y a quinze jours, mes propos sur la colonisation algérienne ont créé le débat. La direction de la radio m’a dit avoir enregistré de nombreuses protestations de la part des auditeurs. Pour faire droit à l’émotion…

Labour market policies influence firms' innovation dynamics, as a UZH study shows. Higher minimum wages encourage automation, while rising wages for highly skilled workers slow it down: news.uzh.ch/en/articles/me… @econ_uzh @davidhem

Europe made a colossal mistake: They banned genetically modified organisms (GMOs) while the rest of the world embraced them. Now we rely on imports, pay more for food, and miss out on sustainable agriculture. Here’s the story of Europe’s GMO debacle 🧵:
Il faut trouver 4 points de PIB d'économies pour stabiliser la dette de la France. L'histoire retiendra que le premier gouvernement ayant proposé de faire participer les retraités les plus aisés des cohortes les plus favorisées à hauteur de moins de 1% de leurs revenus sera tombé

You should have drawn the opposite conclusion. Even on a hotly contested issue like optimal tax rates, the most left wing and most right wing economists in the sample are projected to estimate values from 60% - 77%. That's remarkably uniform!

If there was a Nobel Prize for advising, Daron Acemoglu would likely win that too. In 2018, @dongheejo68 and I mapped out his past advisees. 117 since 1994, or roughly 5 per year (~1/4 of a typical cohort!) [1/2]
Vous vous souvenez de l'affaire des "bébés sans bras" ? Pendant 5 ans, le sort de ces enfants nés avec une malformation dans l'Ain va tenir la France en haleine... Dans #LesIllusionnistes, nous revenons sur l'une des plus grandes fake news de la décennie. #Thread 🧶
A reminder of how quickly things can change... IEA in 2010: " [Solar] PV will become competitive at utility-scale in the sunniest regions by 2030 and provide 5% of global electricity." The world in 2023: 5.5% and growing rapidly
La France combine l’une des économies les plus décarbonées avec l’un des déficits budgétaires les plus sévères, tout en ayant les dépenses de redistribution parmi les plus élevées. Cette capacité à dresser sans sourciller des diagnostics aux antipodes de la réalité est sidérante
