Food for thought!
"Recession Risk and Asset Prices: Evidence From Recession Prediction Markets" by Jonathan Hartley.
"This paper studies how real-time variation in macroeconomic recession risk is priced in U.S. equities, Treasury bonds, and currency markets using newly assembled prediction-market data on U.S. recession probabilities....Overall, the results suggest that recession-belief shocks derived from prediction markets represent a priced macro-finance factor with important implications for time-varying risk premia."

📊La especialización productiva es algo natural: permite a las economías explotar sus ventajas comparativas. España lo hace con el turismo. Otros países, con otras actividades: Noruega con el petróleo y gas, Alemania con la automoción o Países Bajos con la logística.
🏖️El problema, se dice, es que el turismo es una actividad poco productiva y de bajo valor. Pero los datos cuentan otra historia: el sector turístico explica más del 25% de las ganancias de productividad de la economía española en la última década. Y entre 2015 y 2024, la productividad por hora del turismo español aumentó cerca de un 13%, frente a apenas un 2% en el mismo sector en el resto de la Unión Europea.
💡Quizá el problema no sea nuestra especialización, sino el prejuicio con el que seguimos juzgándola. Sobre ello escribo hoy en @Act_Economica, con permiso de Jane Austen:
👉 Turismo y prejuicio

A young person asked me today for a few papers that would be great to read early on in one’s career. Here is a list I came up with (I posted a shorter list earlier in reply to a comment). There are many other great papers (and I apologize if I didn’t include yours), but my goal was to focus on papers that a 21-year-old undergrad would enjoy a lot. A paper on the asymptotic properties of the bootstrap or on some subtle point about New Keynesian models, as important as it might be, is not what I am looking for. Also, of course, the list reflects my deeply biased taste. So, feel free to add in the comment section other papers you love!

As @jburnmurdoch shows, functionally illiterate US workers earn about the same hourly wage as the average British worker, illustrating how higher US productivity elevates earnings across all skill levels.
Ultimately, education creates the workforce potential that a strong economy unleashes, while a thriving economic environment provides the returns and opportunities that give educational investment its true value.

El domingo publiqué en @Act_Economica un artículo sobre cómo está cambiando las preferencias del consumo de los hogares españoles.
Hay un resultado paradójico: mientras el consumo de servicios se dispara, la desigualdad del consumo disminuye. ¿Cómo es posible? 🧵
Las preferencias de consumo de los hogares cambian silenciosamente. Comparto mi último artículo en @Act_Economica sobre las implicaciones de este cambio para la competitividad y el crecimiento de la economía española.
