Congratulations dr. @rhuguenotnoel.bsky.social !! An amazing thesis and great contribution to the field!

With @pisaniferry.bsky.social and @laurencetubiana.bsky.social, we suggest two interpretation keys to read the upcoming Clean Industrial Deal and Omnibus package, and therefore to understand the EU’s direction of travel on the green transition www.politico.eu/article/eu-g...

This is highly informative, a discussion between @erik-jones.bsky.social and Waltraud Schelkle on the Draghi report. What were the elements Draghi missed? What drives innovation? Should we really embrace the idea of growth based on super-star disruptive firms?

Has the EU's Recovery Fund delivered on its promises, and should it be a model for the future of EU financing? Join us on 4 April for an academic-practitioner workshop with the latest research and high-level policymakers: www.eui.eu/events?id=57...

Voor sommige mensen zijn de landelijke regelingen zoals de toeslagen te weinig om rond te komen. Gemeenten proberen deze gaten te vullen, maar doen dit met veel verschillende armoederegelingen. Hierdoor komen zowel gemeenten als hun inwoners in de knel. (1/6)

This afternoon, CDU Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz gave a keynote speech on foreign and EU policy at @koerberip.bsky.social. A thread on his main points on the EU and Germany's role in it:

Terwijl Nederland druk bezig was zijn multinationals tevreden te houden met belastingkortingen, streefden de Verenigde Staten ons economisch voorbij. Essay in FD waar ik pleit voor vestigingsbeleid niet gericht op belastingvoordelen maar op talent fd.nl/opinie/15418...

Moet het kabinet bezuinigen of niet? In de coalitie is flinke discussie ontstaan. Over of de ramingen kloppen - en wat dat betekent voor de plannen van het kabinet. Ik schreef een analyse in het FD. (1/n)

Is another financial crash approaching? Is Europe ready?

Great opportunity in a stunning place!

De EUolifanten kudde staat vandaag stil bij het verlies van mede-EUolifant Mathieu Segers. Vandaag precies één jaar geleden. Wij wensen zijn familie en vrienden veel sterkte.

New Gender Update out in @ejpgjournal.bsky.social. With data from the new wave of the EES, I show a strong increase in support for the far right among young voters. Especially the share of young men who consider voting for the far right has exploded. bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

For @financialtimes.com, Sarah Dadouche and Raya Jalabi sit in on meetings between ministry staff in Damascus and their increasingly exasperated new bosses from Tahrir al-Sham. www.ft.com/content/7efc...

Dutch media now coming out with extremely damaging reports of how the European Investment Bank has been governed in the past few years. Looks like Werner Hoyer made a mess of this important institution: www.ftm.nl/artikelen/ne...

Social Investment theorie leert ons dat landen die meer investeren in jongeren en preventie het beter doen op groei, weerbaarheid en concurrentiekracht. NL boekte vooruitgang, ten aanzien van VVE voor kwetsbaren en bonus voor scholen in Randstad met grote tekorten. Dit kabinet draait alles terug.

Denmark comes out in support of EU borrowing. The “Frugals” as a concept have long ago cracked. Eurobonds for defense are such an obvious mechanism to finance both an Ukraine defense industry ramp up and to fill gaps in enablers left (potentially) by the US. www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Croatia is one of the largest recipients of funding from the EU Recovery Fund (in relative terms) and has been performing exceptionally well since the pandemic.

The Dutch are flouting the new budgetary rules? A thread on yesterday's announcement of the Commission on the Dutch medium-term structural plan (the new rules of the Stability and Growth Pact)

Leesvoer, het is een wat langer stuk, maar absoluut het lezen waard: decorrespondent.nl/15683/waarom...

The European Commission is lined up to approve multi-year spending plans from every country bar the Netherlands today.

The Draghi report on competitiveness is precise on "the money question", but not clear on who's going to do the extra work, and he's off on economic governance. Today in Social Europe, Anton Hemerijck and my response to Draghi: www.socialeurope.eu/why-social-i...

New Publication! This time on the development of social Europe - which, we argue, is alive and kicking. In this policy report Sven and I take a look at the initiatives since the European Pillar of Social Rights and conclude that we are witnessing Europe’s Social Revival. 1/4
