A summary of our research on the €uro💶 & market power with @tcrescioli

Delighted to have been invited by @ProMarket_org @StiglerCenter to write this article based on our work "Beyond the Great Reversal: Superstars, Unions, and the Euro"

@LSEEI @LSEnews

Did the Euro Reduce Market Power?

@tcrescioli and @angelo_martelli argue that a study of labor market power muddles the picture of higher competition in Europe.

Great to see that our paper is accepted at the @QJE!

4 key findings on conflict displacement & human capital:

Place effects: ~2pp/year of childhood exposure
Spatial sorting: near zero within families

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

The future of our economy, security, resilience and defence is bound with Europe. Closer alignment isn't about choosing sides - it's about geography.

Good to speak to @Bruegel_org about investing in our collective security and driving growth.

[LSE European Institute @LSEEI]

We were delighted to co-host a conference on “Security in Europe” to mark 20 years of @Bruegel_org yesterday, which concluded w/ a conversation between @RachelReevesMP, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and @jzettelmeyer, Bruegel Director, chaired by Dr @angelo_martelli @LSEnews 🪖 🇪🇺

[Antonello Guerrera @antoguerrera]

Extraordinary talk on EU-UK by Chancellor @RachelReevesMP at LSE @LSEnews last night, chaired by @angelo_martelli 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Reeves: "I start by saying I strongly believe that Britain's future is inextricably bound with that of Europe's, and that is for economic reasons that I'm primarily responsible for as chancellor, but also reasons of security, resilience and defence."

"The truth is, economic gravity is reality, and almost half of our trade is with the European Union. We trade almost as much with the EU as the whole of the rest of the world combined. And so, you know, I'm all up for doing deals with India and the US and Korea, but none of them are going to be as big as what we can get through better trade relations with Europe."

"I think further integration will require further alignment. I'm up for that. My government, here's government, is up for that, and we are keen to go through a sectoral level of what areas we think we could have deeper alignment in, some of which could be unilateral, and some of which could be negotiated, but I think there are big opportunities there. I was with Valdis Dombrovskis and Maros Sefcovic just a couple of weeks ago in Downing Street. We had really productive meetings about what the future might look like, and we've made good progress this last year, but I think there is more to do, including in the area that I'm most responsible for in the treasury, around financial services. There are sort of three big financial centres in the world. There's New York, there's London, and there's Hong Kong. And London should be seen as an asset for the whole of Europe, not just for the UK, but for the whole of Europe. And we want London to be that asset."

"Other countries around the world are looking inwards and increasing barriers at the moment, whether that's on trade, on movement of people, on investment, and we want to show there is a different path, and there is a path that leads to greater prosperity for our people. And I believe that that path is from one which is around openness, openness to trade, to investment, to business to talent, and that is what we're trying to pursue in the UK. And I think there are obviously big similarities. Our challenges in the UK are the same as the challenges in all of the member states across the EU, but we've got a better chance of succeeding if we work together in that shared environment. There are three big trading blocks in the world, there's the US, there's China, and there is Europe, and we want to make Europe as strong as possible, and that means not putting up the drawbridge."

"I know we did that when we voted to Leave, not me, but the country made that decision, but I believe that there is an appetite. There's a lot of pushback, saying, wait a second, we voted to Leave. Or why are we going to be making it easier to trade again? And where does this lead? And even with the ambitious feasibility scheme, I think Erasmus is one of the most popular things that we have done as a government, because it is about giving hope that there is a better future and that we are ambitious to Britain for our young people."

"We've already agreed the Erasmus student exchange program, which I'm so pleased about, because it was seemed to me when we left the EU and no sense that we would at the same time take away those opportunities that many of us had from our children and future generations. And so we're very pleased to have secured that deal, and we are working on implementing what was agreed between Keir Starmer and Ursula von der Leyen and the teams at the summit last year on SBS, a food and farming agreement on energy trading, and an ambitious Youth Mobility scheme, and I hope that very soon we would have made more concrete progress in some of those areas".

Last week, we held our annual @LSEEI retreat at @CumberlandLodge under the theme "Europe and its Neighbours".

The conference featured fascinating panels and I had the pleasure of convening two discussions.

On the opening evening, we hosted @macrocredit (Andromeda Capital Management), who delivered an engaging presentation titled "Fat tails on Fire: Europe in the New World order", examining the key macro and markets features of a shifting geoeconomic landscape.

The following morning, together with @nina_vujanovic @Bruegel_org and @DavideOneglia @TS_Lombard we looked at the issues of defence spending, enlargement and the role of Ukraine.

Thanks again to my co-organisers @ygursoy and @JonathanPJWhite, to the EI PhD students @B_Morari and @luca_siepmann and to the students who engaged so actively with our speakers. Grateful also for the tireless organisational effort led by @Witchy_Nat with the support of Laura Rezende Malouf.
