Food for thought!

"Industrial Policy Handbook: From Strategy Design to Implementation" (OECD)

"Industrial policy has returned to the forefront of policymaking across OECD countries, driven by mounting challenges: slowing productivity growth, weakening competition, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the imperative to accelerate clean and digital transitions. While concerns about rent-seeking, market distortion, and the protection of incumbent firms remain valid, the perceived costs of inaction have risen considerably. This Handbook provides practical guidance for policymakers on designing industrial strategies and implementing policies. Drawing on OECD analysis and illustrative examples from member countries, it addresses not whether to pursue industrial policy, but how to do so more effectively while preserving open markets, maintaining competitive conditions, and advancing economic security. Importantly, industrial policy does not only comprise vertical sectoral interventions but also horizontal, framework conditions (such as well-functioning capital markets, labour mobility)."

Florida's wetland offset markets generated billions of dollars in private gains from trade but also a significant increase in flood damage. We spoke with Will Rafey of @UCLA about what his findings mean for the design of environmental markets. https://t.co/2tAImhOQRU

I had the great pleasure of talking to @arindube about his book The Wage Standard, and the question of how to raise wages

A deep dive into living standards and inequality comparing Sweden and US, focusing on redistribution vs predistribution, and a bonus on use of price indices and PPP and what difference it makes!

[Labor Notes @labornotes]

At a bus manufacturing plant in Alabama, longtime worker Stevie Joe Thornton said a manager tried to force workers into overtime daily, despite clear limits in the contract. Thornton walked out during the forced overtime, and persuaded others to join. 1/2

Major international soccer tournaments like the World Cup have a significant negative effect on student exam performance.

The odds of reaching the achievement benchmark fall by 12% on average and considerably more for students likely to be interested in soccer.

It was a pleasure to chat with The Economist's @ecurrnomics about billionaires, the future of taxation and democracy.

Comments welcome, as always.

Corporate profits as a % of nominal GDP: right near an all-time high

Employee compensation as a % of corporate GDP: all-time low

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

This is a really striking paper. It shows that vehicles "Made in Germany" are mostly not made in Germany at all. 

Only 46% of the labour that goes into producing "Made in Germany" vehicles occurs in Germany. The majority of the labour is performed elsewhere (with wages as low as one-fifth the level), and the majority of the emissions occur elsewhere, but the value is disproportionately captured in Germany.

The paper was led by our colleague Laura Pérez-Sánchez at ICTA.

Millions are working harder, paying more, and losing faith that institutions can deliver.

Imagine an economy and democracy that actually make life better.

[Institute for International Economic Studies @IIES_Sthlm]

Can big firms slow down economic growth, and keep inflation high?
In his thesis, @LlavadorPeralt shows how the behavior of individual firms can shape entire economies. 🧵

The international monetary system was “never designed to be neutral” – it’s geared (very significantly) towards the interests of the world’s richest countries, explains @gatonievas of the World Inequality Lab in our latest blog post #LSEInequalitiesBlog

WSJ: "Labor’s share of gross domestic income (conceptually similar to GDP) sank to 51%, the lowest since records began in 1947. Profits’ share climbed to 12.1%, the highest since 1950."

Ny studie om privata sjukvårdsförsäkringar 🇸🇪
Huvudresultat:

1️⃣ De går främst till höginkomsttagare (ofta via arbetsgivare)
2️⃣ Arbetsgivarförsäkring leder kausalt till mer vård och snabbare specialistkontakt
3️⃣ De ökar belastningen på offentligt finansierad vård
