@florianederer All the best! Remember that if Austria had done the homework in 1714, you would not play against Lamine Yamal, Cubarsi, Olmo, Cucurella....

MIT econ chair says rent control is terrible. His framing is milquetoast. Rent control proponents should be treated like flat earthers, climate change deniers, moon landing hoax believers. They reject science and reason to promote one of the worst policies.

Comparteixo l'article sobre les eleccions al FCB liderat per @toniaira i @XSalaimartin del que estic content d'haver col·laborat i firmat.

“De les eleccions dependrà el rumb del club i que, com s’ha recuperat durant l’últim mandat, el barcelonisme només hagi d’estar pendent de la pilota.”

Amb @XSalaimartin, un servidor i grup maco de profes universitaris.

@RigolAlbert És el clàssic problema d'incentius. Regules el preu, sembla que funciona però estàs baixant l'oferta de pisos. Has d'incentivar que augmenti l'oferta de lloguer, cosa que regulant preus no fas.

A quick post on the options of EU to limit the economic effects of the oil price shock. Markets seems to put too much faith in TACO.

US Tariffs: It wasn't a national emergency but it is ineed a chaotic trade policy. This uncertainty will end up harming everyone.

🔵 #VIDEO El acuerdo comercial entre la #UE y el @mercosur redefinirá las relaciones económicas entre #Europa y #Sudamérica con efectos diferenciados según los sectores y tendrá un impacto agregado limitado para la economía europea, afirmó en entrevista con #Xinhua, el experto español @BascoEconomics, profesor de #Economía en la Universidad de #Barcelona

[Sergi Basco @BascoEconomics]

My take on the (not exactly) free trade agreement between EU and Mercosur . The punchline: much ado about nothing.

Un plaer parlar de bombolles amb @RigolAlbert al @diariARA.

[Albert Rigol @RigolAlbert]

Ho vam explicar aquest cap de setmana al @diariARA amb la paciència i pedagogia del professor @BascoEconomics

The current Spanish housing boom is very different from the bubble in the 2000s. No, I don't see bubbles everywhere:) My reasoning is summarized in this article at @diariARA (in catalan and link to English version inside).

Amb el precedent de la crisi del 2008 imprès en la memòria col·lectiva, fa uns mesos que ha tornat en boca de tothom la gran pregunta: hi ha una bombolla immobiliària?

I am in this picture too. Nice memories! I think our team, MIT, won :)

Now that other economists of my cohort have shown up in the Larry Summers & Jeffrey Epstein emails I'm somewhat disappointed that I'm not in there.

After all, I once played in a tennis tournament with Larry.

My take on the (yes) AI bubble, and the good, the bad, and ugly consequences.

@TheEconomist @JeanTirole Happy to have just published a post with a similar argument in The Conversation

9 EZ banks just announced that they will launch an Euro stablecoin. If they have green light, it will likely add fragility to EZ financial system and make future financial crises worse.

Reacting to US-EU trade deal. Very weak response of EU. Negative effects for EU heterogeneous across countries and sectors. It seems the car industry and Germany may be the biggest losers. Spain too.
