Un recuerdo muy grato de mi niñez. En el año 87, un viaje a Colombia desde Venezuela. En Cartagena, en un “San Andresito”, mis padres me compraron muñecos de Chuck Norris (action figures). Cuantas veces habré jugado con ellos, seguramente cientos. Adiós, karateca.
This model has done more to stimulate research and discussions of crucial issues of macro than hundreds of books. (Same is true of Aghion Howitt 1992 paper for which they go the Nobel) Simple, toy, models can make a gigantic difference, stimulating both further theoretical and empirical research, and organizing precise discussions.
-De cómo Panchito Mandefuá cenó con el Niño Jesús- de José Rafael Pocaterra, es un cuento ya centenario de la Navidad criolla.
Su protagonista, esa sociedad y la crítica que conlleva, se traducen en #valoresvenezolanos que evocan al antimodernismo literario bajo el cual se creó.

What did the commission recommend, and why? Here is my take 👇

Rolling out the Iberian instrument will increase gas consumption and hence the wholesale price for gas. The TTF price could go up by 100 €/MWh or more.
Short version 👇
Europe is divided on a gas price cap.
Why? I believe the answer not to lie in ideology (pro markets or not) but economic interests.
To understand why, we need to understand price formation on short-term spot markets and pricing rules in long-term contracts.
