With great sadness, I announce the passing of my co-author and friend, Marcus Hagedorn. His acerbic wit was as sharp as the vision of Toni Kroos. He attacked big research questions like he tackled the mountains of Mallorca on his bike. He will be missed.

Very touching tribute by Espen, Iourii, and Kurt, to the memory of the much regretted, gone way too soon, fantastically talented, innovative, constructive, vertical, courageous, and yes also funny and kind, macroeconomist and human Marcus Hagedorn. sas.upenn.edu/~manovski/Reme…

Wichtige Forschung von Benjamin Born und Co, die zeigt, wie wichtig und ökonomisch sinnvoll die Mitgliedschaft in der europäischen Währungsunion für die jeweiligen Länder ist.

Das hat leider negative Auswirkungen auf die gesamte Profession der ÖkonomInnen in Deutschland, weil nun mal der Sachverständigenrat Wirtschaft vor allem von Politikern und Journalisten als Who Is Who der ÖkonomInnen wahrgenommen wird. Was er definitiv nicht ist und auch nicht zu sein braucht.

It was great having you! Great talk, and the Q&A could’ve lasted all night. Can’t wait to dive into the book!

Honored to present HANKSSON at the famous Konstanz Seminar, beacon of Monetarism, on Keynes’ birthday! Grateful to Benni, Christian, Keith and the team. Benjamin Born @christianbayer

Da draußen ist die Stimmung irgendwie anders als auf Twitter. 66% der Deutschen fänden die Verdopplung der Verteidigungsausgaben bis 2032 grundsätzlich richtig.

Sentences that would have had you sectioned if you'd uttered them five years ago: two-thirds of Germans, including 46% of AfD and 41% of Die Linke voters, agree that the defence budget should increase to 5% of GDP

A great data source. The ECB Area-Wide Model Database was discontinued for a some time. EABCN took the job over. Let your macroeconomist friends know that the updated data (and, as a bonus, measures of output gap) are here: eabcn.org/data/area-wide…
