Great to reconnect with fellow @UL Alumni based in the capital and meet new faces at the Royal Irish Academy last night. Big thank you to @stephenkinsella.bsky.social for the brilliant insights (and hope!) on where the economy is headed and the challenges and opportunities ahead.

I'm really glad @unioflimerick.bsky.social has taken the decision not to post on twitter any more. I have not been there since 2023 but for some reason I find my institution leaving it somehow sadder. Still, it is for the best, and we move on.

Five years since I had to work at this. What did your #CovidDesk look like?

We deeply regret the US tariffs imposed on Europe. Tariffs are taxes. They are bad for business, and even worse for consumers. Today Europe takes strong but proportionate countermeasures. We remain ready to engage in dialogue ↓

Everyone follow @chadbown.bsky.social who will, I assume, be creating all the trade and tariff charts a person could ever want/need

I’m very glad Trade Talks is back. Missed @chadbown.bsky.social thoughts on this topic. It was a vital listen when trade wasn’t *the* issue of the day and wasn’t my job. So this is just great.

Just got a Daylight computer. Note taking is lovely. The feel/sound/responsiveness is just right. The screen is calming and easy to look at. Paper and kindle reading is easy. It’s a little heavy but it’s also a V1 product. daylightcomputer.com

It's still a lovely feeling. Just published, the first output from our project looking at digital firms, markups and market power, coroporate taxes, and the role intangibles play in driving these dynamics. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

If you thought listening to trade nerds was a mood, wait until you meet the payment systems nerds. TARGET2 chats in 2011 come to mind. It’ll be a blast. @dsquareddigest.bsky.social and @thestalwartt.bsky.social should get the gang back together.

I have been reading everything I can find by Claire Keegan. She is a superb writer. Her concision and precision is why she is continually compared, correctly, to Chekhov. This para from her Night of the Quicken Trees in Walk the Blue Fields for example, and his Oysters: ibiblio.org/eldritch/ac/...

With trade policy once again the centre of attention, now seems like a good time to re-share the starter pack of academic economists who study international trade go.bsky.app/G3dqAYg

Physics does not care about our politics, and ultimately the world will continue to warm until we get global emissions of CO2 to (net) zero.

Irish independent Friday, December 4, 1987. Scrap useless Seanad. Young accept bleak future here. Pressure grows to quit work early. Cigarette sales start to level off.
