Sowohl die Inkas als auch der Berliner Senat legten einst Lebensmittellager an. Solche Maßnahmen sind Ausdruck ökonomischer Vernunft. surplusmagazin.de/der-staat-soll…

In diesen düsteren Zeiten braucht es dringend eine neue Debatte über Wirtschaftspolitik. Wir brauchen greifbare Alternativen zum Neoliberalismus und zum Aufstieg der extremen Rechten. Deshalb haben wir @surplusmagazin gegründet! @adam_tooze @MauriceHoefgen @lukas_scholle

It is the so-called 'normal' distribution that is abnormal in the sense that it has many unique properties not possessed by any other. -- E. T. Jaynes

Funny how 5 years ago we had all these debates about wealth taxation, and a big argument was that billionaires don't have that much power really—and right after that Musk bought Twitter for $44B, used it to get Trump win, and now to prop up the global neo-nazi movement ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Das CDU Programm reißt eine 100 Mrd Lücke bei den öff Haushalten. Schuldenbremse soll halten, keine Steuererhöhungen. Gegenfinanzierung allein durch Wachstumsimpulse des Programms. Wie hoch müsste dieser Impuls also sein, damit sich die Steuersenkung selbst finanziert? (1/3)

We are thrilled to announce the merger of two key organizations supporting early-career researchers in network science: SYNS (Society of Young Network Scientists) and NetPLACE (Networks, PhD Life, and Complexity). Together, we are now NetPlace! @official_SYNS @netplace_semi

I just gave a guest lecture in @ChFlachsland's "Policy Process class" on (right-wing) populism. I hope the students enjoyed it as much as I did. Here are my slides -- perhaps they are of interest to some of you. dropbox.com/scl/fi/gho7vjo…

🔥 Hey NetPals! Just your friendly seminar recap. Last time, we welcomed Yuan Zhang from the University of Zurich, who talked about selective exposure and echo chambers on social media.

RIP Walter Korpi -- one of the key figures in the development of the "power resources theory". Let me take this opportunity to connect some recent work in (labour) economics to this way of thinking about the welfare state and the political economy of redistribution.

Es ist kurz vor zwölf: Wir brauchen eine Wirtschaftspolitik, die dem Aufstieg der extremen Rechten verhindert und den Menschen eine Alternative zum bedrückenden Status quo bietet, anstatt ihre Sorgen herunter zu spielen.

Really excited about this new 📢working paper 📢: Spatial voting models have a long and rich history in explaining how parties position themselves (dating back to Hotelling 1929). However, they usually assume that voters' ideological preferences stay constant. For the first time, Leonie Geyer and I have developed a model where voters' opinions are influenced by other voters, as well as the party that they currently support. We show that this has a strong impact on the results, both in terms of the success of various party strategies, as well as in terms of the resulting distribution of voters and parties. Our model covers two ideology dimensions and is largely based on a combination of two very well-known models, namely the spatial voting model by Michael Laver (APSR: 2005) and the opinion dynamics model with bounded confidence by Hegselmann and Krause (JASSS: 2002). This combination offers fresh insights into both models. Read the full WP here: static.uni-graz.at/fileadmin/sowi…

Unemployment weakens governments. Inflation kills. The politically destructive power of inflation had been forgotten. Standard policy tools left us unprepared and fueled inequality. The re-election of Trump should serve as a warning to all democrats. My first @nytopinion. 1/

The intro to the special issue Rethinking Economic Planing of @CompChange Jan Groos from @FutureHpodcast and I are co-editing has now been published. It's a stand-alone article the provides context, history and overview for recent debates on economic planning. 1/2

Noch am Tag der Trump-Wahl in den USA hat @IsabellaMWeber das Schlagwort der antifaschistischen Ökonomik in die Debatte gebracht. Aber was heißt das? Fred Heussner von @exploringecon hat die wichtigsten Aspekte in einem neuen Beitrag zusammengetragen 🔗 exploring-economics.org/en/discover/an…
