This AER paper shows that negative news about future oil supply raises oil prices, reduces global production, and lowers global industrial activity. It also hurts the U.S. economy: output falls, inflation rises, unemployment increases, stocks drop, and the dollar depreciates.

Ich verstehe deinen Punkt und halte deine Betrachtung fΓΌr noch aussagekrΓ€ftiger, aber Chart-Crime ist der EZB-Chart keiner.

Sehe den Chart-Crime nicht. Es ist ja sehr klar ersichtlich, dass es sich um die ProzentΓ€nderung im globalen Exportanteil gegenΓΌber dem Basisjahr 2010 handelt.

The rally in European benchmark natural gas prices remains far from the extreme levels seen in 2022. Prices peaked at €340/MWh, compared with around €53/MWh currently.

Fiscal consolidation lowers real output, raises the unemployment rate and increase income inequality. Contractionary effects stronger during recessions; supports the Keynesian view that periods of weakness are not suitable for consolidation efforts. Blog summary of our research:

Timely paper on the distributional effects of oil price shocks amid recent Middle East events. Using 45 years of German data, it shows a 10% oil price rise reduces earnings growth of bottom-decile workers by ~2pp after two years, while top-decile workers are barely affected.

New paper on China’s solar subsidies (2004–20): clean energy industrial policy can boost growth and cut emissions. Innovation & production subsidies drove patents, new firms, output, exports. Demand subsidies cut pollution but did less for growth. Social benefits > subsidy costs.

This new QJE paper concludes that the macroeconomic costs of climate change are far greater than earlier estimates suggested. It finds that a 1Β°C rise in global temperatures reduces world GDP by over 20%.

New evidence that landlords have pricing power. Using building-specific tax shocks, this paper shows that when a building’s costs rise, its rents rise too, even if overall market rents don’t, i.e. landlords aren’t just price takers.
