On my way back from this year’s Konstanz Seminar, exhausted and exhilarated after three intense days.
Many thanks to all participants for making it such a stimulating and enjoyable seminar. It was a real pleasure to bring this group together.

Fantastisch guter Reformplan!! Viele von der Politik formulierte Ziele sind Status-Quo bezogen (zB bei Erbschaftssteuer der Erhalt bestehender Arbeitsplätze). Mit disruptiven Veränderungen ringsherum ist Deutschland 🇩🇪 so schwer ins Hintertreffen geraten.

Vielen Dank an die @FAZ_Wirtschaft , dass sie unser „on the one hand …on the other hand“ genommen haben. @kuhnmo und ich wollten die etwas zu vereinfachend daherkommenden Vorschläge dann doch nicht ganz unkommentiert stehen lassen…👇

That someone like Orbán can take us for a ride for a decade, collecting all the money with no repercussions for being a traitor, is a huge blemish on the Union and significantly damages our capacity to act. We need to go back to the drawing board and redesign the whole construction.

Net exports remain a drag, though exports have held up better than expected. Higher energy prices and geopolitical uncertainty are new headwinds. Full note: https://t.co/nQrgGymRZ6 [2/2] @ricco_giovanni

As a member of the @cepr_org-EABCN Business Cycle Dating Committee, I’m glad to share our latest note: data through 2025 point to slow but resilient euro area growth. Investment is recovering and unemployment is at a historic low. [1/2]
