The 🇪🇺 miracle: When 75 Millions Reach High Income

Since 2004, the 10 new EU members have double their GDP per capita.

How much is due to the 🇪🇺? What about the EU15?

In a new WP (https://t.co/PLa98bDk4V) I found that half is due to the 🇪🇺 and that the EU-15 did not suffer

One more point about constant vs current GPD in PPP for comparing living standards over time.

Suppose European societies were to charge 3x more next year for health care procedures.

They wouldn't deliver any more or better service, prices would just rise massively.

Here is some context for my international followers.🧵

This is Aya Nakamura, one of the most-streamed French singers.

She is known for her hard-to-understand slang lyrics.

Everyone loves her songs.
