Academic publishing is a lucrative business for a very small number of private academic publishers. For 🇦🇹, this paper estimates: public spending benefits publishing companies with a large amount - 25% of the annual basic funding universities receive from the Ministry of education

National fiscal policy in EU member countries has turned contractionary. Defence spending is rising, with larger cuts elsewhere. Nationally funded investment will fall in 2025–27, and EU recovery funds will cease to cushion the decline after 2027.

"academic publishing is dominated by profit-oriented, multinational companies for whom scientific knowledge is a commodity to be sold back to the academic community who created it... The dominant four collectively generated... $12 billion in profits between 2019 and 2024."

This paper shows it's important to account for fiscal policy’s impact on productivity: long periods of large primary surpluses can depress investment and growth, making public debt stabilisation harder. Pro-growth fiscal reforms may boost productivity, make debt easier to sustain

Germany used to run large trade surpluses in capital goods with China (exports > imports). Since the start of 2025, Germany has been running a trade deficit with China.

In this paper, we propose to make potential output estimates in EU fiscal rules policy-responsive in assessing fiscal space via debt sustainability analysis. Allow public investment, R&D expenditure, and labour-supply reforms to affect potential output and fiscal space!

New paper on the fatal consequences of job loss using 🇫🇮 administrative data: "For every 100,000 displaced men, there are 1,100 additional deaths. 60% accrue to the displaced worker, 40% are due to excess spousal mortality.. no such dire consequences are observed after a woman’s job loss"

Economic growth in Germany since reunification has mostly benefited the middle and upper middle class up to the 99th percentile. Income inequality (pre-tax) in 🇩🇪 is similar to the 🇺🇸 and higher than in 🇫🇷. Inequality has increased, but less than previous studies suggest.

In the past 20 yrs, China extended >$800 billion in loans to emerging market and developing country economies to finance infrastructure, energy etc. China’s loan portfolio surpassed those of the World Bank, the IMF, and all 22 Paris Club creditor governments combined.
