Euroscepticism sells freedom & prosperity but delivers stagnation.
My new working paper with Dijkstra & Dorati shows that #EU regions courting #Euroscepticism suffer lower #growth and weaker #productivity & #job creation.
Protest is a costly habit.

Paying for Euroscepticism
Over the past two decades, support for Eurosceptic parties has climbed from fringe to nearly one third of voters. Promising renewed prosperity through less European integration, these parties imply Eu...

Congratulations to Dr Till Meißner (@tillytales.bsky.social) on a superb PhD, supervised by Riccardo Crescenzi & myself and a great discussion with examiners Nicola Coniglio & Thomas Farole during his defence.
Till's thesis traces how global value chains can empower African economies.

#Europe faces not a choice between #efficiency and #equity but the need to reconcile both if it wants to become more competitive.
As I argue in my new @regionalstudies.bsky.social paper, a more centralised #EU will thin its own strength by silencing its citizens' voices.

#Brussels can’t roll out innovation like it does broadband.
According to Mehmet Pinar & Burhan Can Karahasan in Technology in Society, #innovation rewards regions already primed but bites in vulnerable areas. The North/West soar, the South/East stall.

Competitiveness thrives on cohesion, not concentration.
My brand new article in @regionalstudies.bsky.social makes the case for unlocking #Europe’s full potential, wherever it can be found, as #cohesion is the foundation of #competitivenes, not its antithesis.

#Czechia re-elects #Babiš. The map tells the tale: #Prague holds out, towns & rural areas—where status, jobs & faith have faded—swing.
Brussels should invest in the places time forgot or brace for irrelevance.

To hollow out #cohesion is to erode the #EU’s credibility from within.
In my brand new @regionalstudies.bsky.social paper, I argue that #Europe’s competitiveness and very viability depends less on emulating competitors and more on exploiting our latent potential.

#Maps are the essence of #geography. Designed poorly, they silence data; designed well, they communicate powerfully and attract lots of attention.

Economists, unlike pop stars, seldom chart. Geographers only chart maps😀.
But I've slipped in at No.11 on @Favikon_ UK list; proof that algorithms reward the inexplicable.
A fleeting honour, but a reminder: #economics matters most when it speaks to place.
