"How do changes in the unemployment insurance system affect unemployment and labor market dynamics? This paper highlights the important role of changing separation rates." New paper from Hartung, @macrophilip.bsky.social & @mokuhn.bsky.social: www.restud.com/unemployment...

A stunning paper by Derenoncourt, Kim, Kuhn, @schularick.bsky.social! “Since the 1980s, the wealth gap has widened again as capital gains have predominantly benefited white households, and convergence via income growth and savings has come to a halt.” academic.oup.com/qje/article-...

Mightily impressive paper by @mokuhn.bsky.social and Philip Jung on the labour market effects of the German Hartz reforms — also highly relevant for political scientists interested in insider-outsider politics and labour market dualisation. academic.oup.com/restud/advan...

Great to see our paper “Unemployment insurance reforms and labor market dynamics” out in The Review Economic Studies. With @macrophilip.bsky.social & Benjamin Hartung, we revisit the old question of labor market research of the effects of unemployment insurance reforms on unemployment rates. 1/10

Today I had another exchange with German-speaking economists on the challenges facing the German and euro area economy and what this implies for monetary policy @ecb.europa.eu. One focus was how to make sure that the German packages for defence and infrastructure will become a success. 1/3

Um die Deindustrialisierung zu stoppen, gibt es eine einfache Politik: Kauft mehr Panzer! Es sichert Arbeitsplätze im Verarbeitenden Gewerbe & führt zu mehr Sicherheit in Europa! @schularick.bsky.social @clemensfuest.bsky.social @robert-habeck.de @ralphbollmann.bsky.social

Ich freue mich bereits auf die Diskussionsrunde nächste Woche an der Uni Mannheim zum Thema "Politische und wirtschaft­liche Weichenstellungen nach der Wahl" www.uni-mannheim.de/newsroom/pre... Mittwoch, 26. Februar 2025, 17:30 bis 19:15 Uhr in der Aula der Uni Mannheim.

We are excited to start our Macro CRC seminar series at Mannheim with Kjetil Storesletten presenting “Fiscal Progressivity of the U.S. Federal and State Governments”

Tolles Interview heute in der FAS mit @erikbryn.bsky.social zur Künstlichen Intelligenz. Er betont auch wieder das zentrale Problem europäischer Politik: "Sie werden nie wirtschaftlichen Erfolg haben, wenn Sie alles einfrieren wollen." Es braucht Willen zur Veränderung! @patrick-bernau.de

To all econ students on the market and advisors: I am thinking about filling an additional postdoc position at the University of Mannheim working on portfolio choice, wealth inequality, and labor markets. Interested? If yes, please let me know! sites.google.com/site/kuhneco...

Diese Forschungsergebnisse könnten auch für die deutsche Politik von Interesse sein. Bauauflagen und Regulierung führen zu kleinen Firmen und weniger Wachstum im Bausektor. www.nber.org/digest Wer den Wohnungsmangel lösen will, muss Auflagen senken und Bauen einfacher machen

Great to see four of my papers covered in the 2024 review of Opportunity and Inclusive Growth Institute working paper series with summaries of the fantastic @lisacamnermckay.bsky.social www.minneapolisfed.org/article/2025... 1/6

Die Zollkriege von 2025 haben begonnen. Vom Zaun gebrochen von Trump: Unnötig, kostspielig, gefährlich Europa wird das nächste Ziel sein. Drei Prinzipien sollten unsere Antwort leiten: 1. Europa muss zusammenstehen und darf sich nicht auseinander dividieren lassen. 1/N

👇@Schularick.bsky.social mit einer klaren Handelungsempfehlung. Wichtig ist, alle Beteiligten in Europa davon zu überzeugen, dass dieser Weg für sie individuell der bessere Weg ist. An höhere Ziele oder Moral zu appellieren ist in einer Zeit nationaler Egozentrik nicht zielführend. 1/2

Ideal timing: Mannheim as a great city for (young) people (unfortunately only in German but modern technology will make it accessible for everyone interested)! Unistädte im Porträt: »Mannheim wird niemals langweilig« spiegel.de/start/studie...

Aus der @nzz.ch mit Erwähnung unserer Arbeit zur Verlängerung des Kurzarbeitergeldes. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Frage der optimalen Ausgestaltung und Abwägung zw. Versicherung & Anreizen. Es liegt dahet nahe KUG mit der Bezugsdauer fallen zu lassen. 1/2 www.nzz.ch/meinung/kurz...

It was a great visit to the Central Bank of Turkey last week. We discussed about the economic situation in Turkey and economic research with Governor Fatih Karahan. I also presented my paper "To Have or Not to Have: Understanding Wealth Inequality" and received great feedback! Thanks a lot!

Das BMAS plant, die Bezugsdauer des Kurzarbeitergelds (KUG) zu verdoppeln. @jopennekamp.bsky.social nimmt unsere Forschungsergebnisse (mit Brinkmann, @mokuhn.bsky.social, Saidi, Wolter) auf, um Reform und Rolle des KUG in Transformation einzuordnen. @faznet.bsky.social www.faz.net/aktuell/wirt...

Die Neue Sachlichkeit in der Kunsthalle Mannheim. Eine spannende Ausstellung über die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen vor 100 Jahren. Ein weiterer guter Grund mal wieder nach Mannheim zu kommen.
