Celebrating Lord Nick Stern @lordstern1 at 80, one of the intellectuals and practitioners who has worked hardest to provide the intellectual firepower behind the compatibility of growth and jobs with climate action through the New Climate Economy. Privileged to participate in an excellent panel at @LSEnews with Christine @Lagarde, President of @ecb, and @KGeorgieva, MD of @IMFnews, where I showed that global trade, disruptions notwithstanding, can be part of the solution to the world‘s sustainability and environmental challenges. Many thanks to Professor Larry Kramer, President and Vice Chancellor of LSE, for excellent moderation of the panel.

Olivier Blanchard
Olivier Blanchard@ojblanchard1·
RIP Chris Sims. I was enormously influenced by Chris. My own, perhaps idiosyncratic take: His main contribution came at a time when macroeconomists had constructed the first wave of big macroeconometric models. They were constructed piece by piece, a consumption block, an investment block, and so on. Each piece looked reasonable, but when assembled together, the implied macro dynamics were all wrong. What Chris did was to turn things around, namely argue that one had to start from the actual macro dynamics, the so called VARs, and show how, with minimal identification conditions (leading to "structural" VARs), they could be used to suggest the dynamic effects of various shocks, dynamics that the structural models had to replicate. To say that his approach was influential would be to understate its influence. Today, a model that did not fit the VAR evidence, would be simply dismissed.

Deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of our dear friend, colleague and @WHO Envoy David Nabarro. David was a great champion of global health and health equity, and a wise, generous mentor to countless individuals. His work touched and impacted so many lives across the world. On behalf of WHO, I’m extending our heartfelt condolences to David’s family, friends and colleagues. Rest in peace, my dear friend. We will dearly miss your expertise, wisdom and kindness.

RIP Stan. Stan was my mentor and my friend. He was an outstanding economist, an outstanding policy maker, but even more importantly, a great human being. Science, commitment, honesty, and humility at the service of humankind. piie.com/publications/p…

Excellent exchange with President @Tharman_S today in Singapore. The EU is a reliable partner for the region — and we are closer than ever to Singapore, united by a shared vision of a rules-based international order.

3/3 India’s massive expansion of roads and electricity - including the creation of one of the world’s largest inter-connected energy grids - is an example. Enabling people to move out of agriculture, and improving school-going among the young and women’s everyday lives.

2/3 And wherever we are, back the quiet investment revolution in the developing world. It’s critical for jobs in nations with large young populations. But it can also buffer growth globally, help avoid new conflicts and enable the transition to a cleaner, safer world for all.
