Economic growth was once closely linked to increasing environmental degradation. More recently, however, many high-income countries have continued to increase GDP per capita while reducing their environmental impacts.

Has anyone come across a Euro politician - Commission, MEP, national - arguing for more regulation?

It seems everyone is in favour of slashing it yet it seems to be only growing across most areas and sectors. Who is doing it then?

If you're interested in low-resource or domain-specific evaluation checkout this cool dataset by @odychlapanis and Dimitrios Galanis and @nikaletras and @ionandrou!

GreekBarBench is a benchmark designed to evaluate LLMs on challenging legal reasoning questions across five different legal areas from the Greek Bar exams, requiring citations to statutory articles and case facts.

Love at first sight” has to be, if not the most common form of serendipity, certainly the most venerated. We just love to glorify such things. For some people, it can be love at almost any sight.

This IMF paper finds that during and after the 2022 global inflation surge - largely driven by supply shocks -inflation outcomes in inflation-targeting countries were no better than in non-targeting countries, despite the former implementing more aggressive interest rate hikes.

IMF: "only about half of fiscal consolidations achieve their fiscal targets, including debt reduction. A broad range of econometric methods, based on well-established methods in the empirical literature, confirm that fiscal consolidations do not reduce debt ratios, on average."

The single market is the world’s largest, yet 2 out of 3 companies see regulatory burden as an investment obstacle.

As the 100th anniversary of the birth of Milton Friedman winds down, might the dogma of his doctrine finally wind down too? Or shall we continue to believe that greed is good, markets are sufficient, and governments are suspect?

Prof. @SusanEDudley in @lawdotcom: While AI can quickly identify rules to cut, the administration will still need human staff to handle the legal and procedural steps of deregulation, and it remains unclear how successful those efforts will be

The private sector in 🇫🇷 has been deleveraging after a pandemic-era surge in debt. This is the flip side of rising govt debt.

During the 2000s, 🇬🇷 private sector debt rose fast, while the govt failed to deleverage (hello Athens Olympics 2004). That's the build-up to a crisis.

To support @POTUS efforts to improve performance management, OPM is rolling out the Federal Performance Management Toolkit. This practical resource helps supervisors set clear expectations, give meaningful feedback and align performance with mission goals. https://t.co/9kYddRqOFC

[Daniel Kral @DanielKral1]

No, 🇫🇷 is not 🇬🇷 15 years ago. It has a balanced current account (no sudden stop), its eye-watering govt deficits are flip-side of households flush with cash & govt debt servicing costs are 2% of GDP (less @ecb rebate). 🇬🇷 had none of it. 🇫🇷 is a mess, not a catastrophe.
