Our new OXREP paper is out. We argue that big shifts—clean energy, AI, biotech—don’t just reallocate resources; they create new ones. We call this “creation economics”: an economy shaped by feedbacks, tipping points and leaps. Models illustrate pathways & risk, not predict future

15 minute interview w. Andrew Neil ‘Times at One’. He asked good questions, once we moved off his fixation with a narrow definition of green jobs. I got him to accept that we are not going back to fossil fuels! And a free tutorial on bond markets 19':20'' thetimes.com/radio/show/202…

New govt has taken on many recommends from our report 1 yr on, eg amending fiscal rules. But not others: it taxed business and saving, rather than consumption. We warned this wd crowd out private investment & undermine productivity growth.@GRI_LSE @BennettInst @IndepEconomics

"Despite best efforts to boost UK investment, election pledges are holding the govt back." @DimitriZ discusses the reasons why the Budget measures, despite good intentions, could never be expected to deliver Reeve’s long-awaited boost to UK growth. bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/blog/uk-invest…

In a 2-part blog, @DimitriZ explores why the Autumn Budget, despite good intentions, could never deliver @RachelReevesMP's expected UK growth boost and what the government can do to restore its plan for UK investment, productivity and growth. bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/blog/uk-invest…

A short letter in Today’s Financial Times. The impact of Trump's proposed tariffs on the US trade balance is not the primary concern, it’s what it will do to American exports, jobs and productivity. @BennettInst @GRI_LSE @IndepEconomics ft.com/content/401d97… via @ft

Rachel Reeves’s welcome strategy to boost UK growth got off to a stuttering start. If she doesn’t make some unpopular choices, slay manifesto taboos, & tackle UK over-consumption, her entire economic strategy to boost productivity could fail @BennettInst @GRI_LSE @IndepEconomics

If the UK is to avoid waking up to Farage as PM in four years’ time (yes it is possible in the Westminster FPTP system) then Labour really needs make a difference, and take heed of our letter in the FT today: ft.com/content/ac6dab… @BennettInst @GRI_LSE

@BennettInst @GRI_LSE @FinancialTimes And no - this is not anti-Keynsian, nor is it anti-demand management, which is essential to stabilise economies AND create markets of the future. But demand alone cannot do all the work all the time. Structural and cyclical policies need to help.
