@DanDeFiEd @FabioGhironi Quality of life is higher in Italy ;-)

Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied. In Italy: - Walk into a bar and look at the guy - Un caffe - 30 seconds later it’s ready - Shoot it - Leave €1 - Walk out In the US: - Join a line - Wait - Order coffee - Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it? - $12.34 - Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip - Tap phone - ask where to send the invoice - Wait again on a different line - Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine - get the coffee - too hot, can't drink it - finally at temperature taste like shit

At the end of January I started a "living document" tracking the impact of AI on productivity. I highlighted a disconnect: while micro studies showed a clear boost, the macro evidence was muted. I wrote that I expected this to change in the near term. Apparently "near term" is a bit over a month. The post has been updated with almost a dozen new studies, on benchmarks, new tasks, etc. Importantly, updates to the aggregate data are also showing what looks like AI productivity gains. It is still early days, but worth noting. See post here: aleximas.substack.com/p/what-is-the-…

Very good meeting with @wto DG @NOIweala on strengthening a fair and rules-based global trading system. Proud of our new joint agreement to help countries attract more & better-quality investment, supporting reform and creating trading opportunities for 🇪🇺 businesses. #EIBForum

The 2026 investment report. Europe needs to invest more. More corporate investment, which requires business opportunities, eu market integration and simplification. At the same time public support should focus on impact and mobilization of private resources. @EIB we are ready!

Public investment played a strong role in the last years but now it is time for decisive acceleration of corporate investment. And to invest more firms need to see business opportunities. This is why the single market is so much needed - it creates business opportunities.

🇪🇺 What is the state of investment across Europe? Our new EIBG Investment Report 2025/26 launched at the #EIBForum shows: 🛡️Strong resilience 🤝The EU Single Market as a key driver of business investment 🎯Public investment decisive role To read it👉 go.eib.org/EIBGInvestment…

We had a great discussion. Geopolitical risks and scenarios. Macroeconomics, monetary policy and competitiveness. And our investment scenarios for Europe. As usual a great Chief Economists meetings. Great to host you in Luxembourg and ….see you next time …..

Very insightful exchange with brilliant economists from leading international banks & institutions on the economic outlook, current challenges and opportunities. Great curtain raiser for the #EIBforum!

Truly honoured to have presented my views on the "DonRoe Doctrine" today at the Chief Economists' Meeting summoned by the @EIB's Chief Economist @DeboraRevoltel1. More details here: linkedin.com/posts/prof-bru…

Tomorrow the @EIB Chief Economists meeting. Some 60 leading economists from private and public sector get together to exchange notes and understandings on geopolitics, macroeconomic dynamics, monetary policy and financial sector expectations and more structural issues.

The world isn’t drifting. It’s being reorganised by design. Most are still reading headlines. Join me for the geopolitical architecture behind them. Cold War 2.0 briefing for decision-makers. Strategic foresight briefing for executives & investors: March 4, 11AM CET. Link below.

Analysis @EIB shows that 25% of new investment since the ‘80s is explained by single market integration. But integration is stalling. 60% of eu firms see fragmentation when exporting to another EU country. Reducing fragmentation might increase firms investment intensity by 10%

@robin_j_brooks Those are the achievements that count :-)

Very proud that after 3 hours of solid digging - some of which was during the FOMC press conference - I have now dug out my car.

Have a look at our paper. Not so often you have the “luxury” of eu and USA data on AI adoption and the luxury of super colleagues doing an amazing job in estimating the causal effect of Ai adoption for European firms. The impact is there. For large and small firms!

AI adoption increases productivity and wages in European firms, but the gains are unevenly distributed. Medium and large firms see the biggest benefits. Training and software investments play a key role #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #Productivity bit.ly/49H29tk
