🧵 Why is Trump trying to stop Ukraine from striking Russian oil refineries? The implicit assumption is that they inflict serious damage. But how much, and where? @MikulaStepan and I have substantially revised our study of the economic effects of the strikes. 👇 1/12

This excellent piece by @NastyaStognei and Steven Bernard in the Financial Times features the paper @MikulaStepan and I wrote on the local economic effects of Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. 1/3
An FT analysis of refinery layouts, photographs, satellite images and thermal-infrared data shows that damage at several major Russian refineries has persisted for weeks or even months after attacks ft.trib.al/sUI5jXU

Il Financial Times dedica oggi spazio al mio paper con @MikulaStepan sugli effetti degli attacchi ucraini contro le raffinerie sull’economia locale russa. L’articolo ricostruisce come la campagna ucraina abbia colpito componenti cruciali degli impianti, lasciando danni visibili per settimane o mesi e riducendo la capacità produttiva. I risultati del nostro lavoro mostrano che, dopo gli attacchi, anche l’attività economica nelle aree vicine alle raffinerie diminuisce in modo persistente. Il link al pezzo è nel primo commento. Il link al paper nel secondo. Grazie ad @NastyaStognei, Steven Bernard e al Financial Times per l’attenzione.

Qual è l’effetto degli attacchi ucraini contro le raffinerie sull’economia locale della Russia? In un nuovo editoriale su @voxeu, @MikulaStepan e io spieghiamo come abbiamo risposto a questa domanda incrociando un archivio degli attacchi ucraini in territorio russo verificati manualmente con le rilevazioni satellitari NASA delle luci notturne e degli incendi tra giugno 2022 e maggio 2026. 1/4

Per capire che cosa accade nelle aree vicine alle raffinerie, @MikulaStepan e io abbiamo guardato dall’esterno. Molto dall’esterno: dallo spazio. 🔗 docs.iza.org/dp18772.pdf 2/10

🧵Qual è l’effetto degli attacchi ucraini contro le raffinerie russe sull’economia locale che le circonda? È difficile rispondere: la Russia è una dittatura in guerra, le autorità negano i danni e non forniscono dati economici locali dettagliati e verificabili. 1/10

🧵New paper alert: What do Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries do to local economic activity inside Russia? Russian refineries are large, fixed industrial assets at the center of Russia’s war economy. Russia often downplays or denies the damage caused by these attacks, while official local economic data are unavailable, delayed, or difficult to verify. @MikulaStepan and I ask whether the strikes leave a measurable economic footprint in the industrial areas surrounding the targeted refineries. The answer is visible from space. 1/5

In a new IZA paper, @MikulaStepan, @tommasoreggiani, and I took advantage of a unique historical experiment — the ethnic cleansing, the repopulation of the Sudetenland, and the repression of civil society by the Communist regime — to study the long-term drivers of social capital. 2/4

On Wednesday, I’ll start my half of the data analysis course at @veda_econmuni with an introduction to tidyr. There will be a weekly home assignment. To participants: any code snippets you copy-paste from the web that use the reshape package might actually be older than you!
