Just released: new study showing

1. The German economy coped well with end of Russian gas supplies even avoiding recession

2. Germany would have also withstood an earlier 1 April 2022 import stop

Joint with @MSchularick @GeorgZachmann @ECON_tribute

Given some of the reactions to this thread, let me remind you of some of the doomsday predictions around the time we wrote our original paper.

Our key message below is not: "everything is great in Germany". Instead it is: "those doomsday predictions were far off the mark."

SVB got in trouble for investing in MBS. It’s certainly not alone in doing so. Why do banks invest in assets like MBS in the first place? 1/

If investors know anything about bank stocks, it may be that they benefit from higher interest rates.

But for the first time since 2008, that's no longer working. @telisdemos with the details: https://t.co/4SCUJIU7bh

When people run out of arguments, they start saying things that aren't quite true.

Here is the Head of the Scholz Chancellery @W_Schmidt_ talking about our work on an import stop of Russian energy and this is exactly what happens

Never again, I hope Germany will lecture « club Med » European countries about seriousness, fortitude and courage. Greece suffered much more during the financial crisis than Germany would suffer if it stopped importing Russian gaz.

A quiet revolution in the monetary system started in November 2020, when Brazil launched its Pix instant payment system

In little over a year, it signed up two-thirds of Brazil's adult population

The latest #BIS_Bulletin tells the amazing story

The What if?… study on the effects of RU energy ban (below) was published on 7 March, 2 weeks after the start of this atrocious war.

A long-ish thread on (a) how incredible that is, and (b) how it’s been under-utilised by the policymakers. 1/20

Glad to see the “The Reversal Rate” discussed in German @bundesbank monthly report. See the estimate for the German economy. With @YannKoby #negativeinterest

[Ben Moll @ben_moll]

In our import stop paper we emphasize that it makes a big difference how much people and firms can substitute for Russian energy inputs.

How might such substitution work in concrete terms?

A new supplement to our paper has some more thoughts

It's Econ job market season and it is time for some not-so-shameless self-promotion! I am on the market this year, and my JMP studies the “Distributive Effects of Banking Sector Losses”. 1/n #Econtwitter #Econjobmarket

[Brown Economics @Brown_Economics]

In his JMP, Marcel Peruffo (@mcperuffo) studies the distributive effects of losses in the banking sector. Using panel data as well as a quantitative heterogeneous-agent model, he finds that the burden of such losses falls predominantly on low-income households. #EconTwitter
