wonderful being back in person speaking to @CBI_Scotland members about the UK’s economic environment and outlook.

[CBI Scotland @CBI_Scotland]

Great to be back around the table with businesses and trade associations at our #Q3 Scotland Council .

We talked about how we can best represent members across Scotland on key areas like skills, workforce shortages, productivity, technology, regulation, tax & green growth 1/1

Delighted to receive the latest issue of the @EconObservatory magazine, reflecting on Adam Smith’s tercentenary and 300 years of British economic history. Fabulously designed and edited. Can’t wait to get stuck in!

[Rahat Siddique @rahatsiddique_]

Fascinating talk this evening by @EdConwaySky on his new book Material World, exploring the resources we depend on in our daily lives - but often take for granted - and what this means for the net zero transition. @resfoundation

Important workshop on bridging polarisation in public policy by @VRubioMarquez and Tony Travers @LSEPublicPolicy.

Around the world, policymakers and those advocating for change, are experiencing first hand how polarisation can stifle effective decision making and debate.

[Rahat Siddique @rahatsiddique_]

Only three things are guaranteed in life:
Death
Taxes
and the UK government implementing a 'temporary' freeze to fuel duty

[Institute for Fiscal Studies @TheIFS]

Fuel duty rates have been frozen in cash terms once again, and the 'temporary' 5p cut has been maintained. This amounts to a cumulative £80bn tax cut relative to RPI uprating since 2010–11.

Continuing these freeze would reduce revenues in 2027–28 by £4 billion.

[Centre for Economic Performance @CEP_LSE]

“Liberals are meant to be radicals, agitating for change. Problem with liberal elite is they’ve been complacent with the status quo and not agitating for change” @zannymb @AndresVelasco at @LSEPublicPolicy

Today's session of #py4econLSE at @LSEEcon is live on MS Teams, with our alumna @RS_Economist going through Pandas basics

The cost of being young. My pre-pandemic research on measuring intergenerational consumer prices.

[Centre for Economic Performance @CEP_LSE]

Across generations, the young have repeatedly had different consumption choices than older cohorts.

The cost of a fixed basket of household items has been consistently higher for the under-30s.

‘Millennials have spent much of their lives enduring economic calamity’. Slightly dramatic analysis, but generational impact is an important one.

LSE and CBI - two of the UK's best institutions (totally unbiased view) - coming together to discuss how business can turbo power the UK economy post-pandemic

[Rain Newton-Smith @RainNewtonSmith]

The future of the UK’s trade is in services and working towards a multilateral trade deal in services is where we can add value to the world economy says @LSEnews Minouche Shafik @CBItweets annual conference. #CBI2021

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

In one example David Card – awarded the 2021 prize in economic sciences – and Alan Krueger (now deceased) used a natural experiment to investigate how increased minimum wages affect employment.
