I‘m more than happy to see this paper after more than 10 years finally out in print in the @RevEconStudies . We address an old question on the link between unemployment insurance and unemployment dynamics. Thanks to @kuhnmo @makro_philip for the great collaboration!
Great to see our paper “Unemployment insurance reforms and labor market dynamics” out in the @RevEconStudies . With @makro_philip & @BenjaminHartung, we revisit the old question of labor market research of the effects of unemployment insurance reforms on unemployment rates. 1/10

It was great to talk about the ECB‘s approach to climate risks in our monetary policy operations at the EEMI Symposium and learn about recent market practices regarding green mortgages.
A big thank you to @BenjaminHartung from the @ecb for joining us in Venice. Very interesting to learn more about the ECB’s work around the management of climate risks and the implementation of climate action in monetary policy.

Noch einmal #Elterngeld: a) wenn man es als Anreiz für gleichere Aufteilung der Care Arbeit sieht, dann müsste man statt 12+2 Monate auf z.B. jeweils bis zu 7 oder 8 Monate umstellen. Häufig sind 2 "Vätermonate" nur langer Familienurlaub. Würde vermutlich Kosten reduzieren. 1/

Janis mit sehr klugen und treffenden Worten zum 1. und hoffentlich letzten Jahrestag dieses furchtbaren Angriffskrieges. #SlavaUkraini
Ich kann mich noch gut an das düstere Gefühl der ersten Kriegstage erinnern: Vor allem Angst und Machtlosigkeit. Angst um die Ukraine, aber auch vor unserer Zukunft, wie sie sich damals abzeichnete. Eine Zukunft, in der wieder Lüge und Brutalität in Europa regieren. 1/

In der Tat starker Kommentar: „Ein koloniales Mindset wohnt solchem Denken inne: Wir wissen, was für euch am besten ist. Auch aus Wagenknechts und Schwarzers Forderung spricht der vergnügte Ton der Bevormundung.“
„Nein, Verhandlungen sind nichts Schlechtes. Sie beenden Kriege, werden sehr wahrscheinlich auch am Ende dieses Krieges stehen. Aber die Bedingungen müssen für die Überfallenen stimmen, darauf kommt es an.“ Guter Kommentar von ⁦@CoDieckmann⁩. tagesspiegel.de/meinung/die-…

Genau das.
Danke @ABaerbock. Annalena #Baerbock äußert sich zum irrsinnigen Aufruf von Frau #Wagenknecht und Alice #Schwarzer. #StandWithUkraine #b1002

I cannot say anything material about the allegations around #briq. Despite being at Bonn for many years, the interactions with the people involved have been limited. What I can say is that the statement released by briq is not the tone I would have liked to see.

A long thread after a long night: That was tough weekend with many constructive discussions over the commision‘s proposal for the #gas_cost_break. Given the objectives set by the government, I think we have reached a very good proposal in the #GasKommission.

I’m still recovering from the weekend I spent at the gas commission, trying to develop a comprehensive €200bn policy package within 48 hours (which reduced the time allocated to sleep to about 4 hrs in total). What did the commission recommend, and why? Here is my take 👇

Nothing to add. Price incentives trump the most solemn sunday speech.
A question to those who believe a gas price cap wouldn't change demand: What do you think caused this? Political savings targets? Sunday speeches? Non-existent rationing policies? We really have just one single mechanism in place to reduce gas consumption: the price. That's it.
Indeed a very good piece: It‘s often not clear whether ESG is about risk or impact. Mixing up both doesn‘t help either of the two. Only disagreement: The Taxonomy / SFDR afaik don‘t split companies into green/non-green but account for exact % of green revenues/capex/opex.
A very good piece by Stuart Kirk via ⁦@FT⁩: “ESG must be split in two”. Double materiality. We need to be clear that we are measuring ESG risks on the one hand and environmental and social impacts on the other. Sometimes they overlap, but not always on.ft.com/3Qc8h0Z
