🚨 I’m on the #EconJobMarket!
My JMP, “Mind the Gap: Disagreement and Credible Monetary Policy”, asks a simple question: what happens to monetary policy transmission when the Fed and financial markets disagree on the future path of rates?

She is obviously the right woman for the job. We need someone who has the guts and understands the stakes. If the High Rep is not chosen for this, then what is the point of the job?

Karthik is a true scholar. This is a great prize for macroeconomics.
The Infosys Prize 2026 in Economics is awarded to Prof. Karthik A. Sastry, Associate Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University.
His research focuses on how societies respond to climate change through technological innovation and public policies. He has also made important contributions to the study of economic fluctuations and contract design, adding to our understanding of how economies and markets work.

I’m on the 2026–27 economics job market! I’m a PhD candidate at UC San Diego.
I am an applied microeconomist interested in development and political economy.
Thanks to @UCSDEcon for highlighting my job market paper. Here’s a bit about my research and the Backstory podcast. 🧵
What determines the adoption of modern financial institutions? In China, @CatoRiccardo finds that Christian missionaries contributed to modern banking, but these advantages disappeared under central planning and re-emerged with market reforms.

Brexit has been catastrophic. It's time to rejoin the EU.

I just presented a fiscal shocks paper and Ukraine is one of the events our approach identifies through cross-sectional stock-price variation.
Well... I couldn't say #SlavaUkraini in the middle of a scientific talk, but I hope the message got through.

Sarebbe bello e doveroso che il M5S spiegasse perché, insieme all’estrema destra, ha votato contro una risoluzione che denuncia gli attacchi russi nell’UE e sul Mar Nero. Dubito che accada: sarebbe come ammettere che non vogliono proteggere l’Europa e preferiscono la Russia.

Ad ogni italiano l’appoggio all’Ucraina è costatato 3 centesimi al giorno e 11 euro l’anno. Mi sembra un costo modico per garantirsi libertà e democrazia . Sono stufo di sentire stronzate

I would urge anyone interested in transatlantic relations to listen.
At the @WarsawForum, I asked Democratic Congressman Jim Himes what would change and what would remain the same in US-Europe relations with a new Democratic Administration?
Himes provided a pretty clear and realistic overview.

Check this out! A timely contribution
Smith praised the division of labor but worried about its effect on citizens’ judgment. @GiampaoloBonomi’s The Division of Understanding studies how specialization shapes democratic accountability—and why it matters which jobs get automated.

One of the crucial problems of public debate in Italy is that smart, educated people I know wouldn't recognize (at least openly) that they stand with Meloni about Ukraine, *against* the shameful populist positions of the opposition.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni:
“Supporting Ukraine is not an alternative to peace. It is what makes peace possible in the first place.
For if an aggressor can work towards their opponent’s capitulation, why should they negotiate?
If Ukraine were to stop defending itself tomorrow—as many hope and suggest—we would not have peace.
We would be discussing the occupation of a European state and the return of a Soviet-style imperialism—the kind Europe suffered under for half a century.”

🥂 Cheers to Nobel laureate Michael Woodford! Surrounded by family members, friends, students, President Jennifer L. Mnookin and University colleagues, as well as well-wishers, including fellow Nobel laureates Joseph Stiglitz and Martin Chalfie, Woodford had an important group to thank.
“A number of students of mine are here,” Woodford said with a smile. “A lot of what I have done has only been possible thanks to my students, because it was hard for me to work these things out except by trying to explain them to people and having students who are willing to put up with that. It is essential to the intellectual process, at least in my case. I've been gratified that many went on to have distinguished careers and I hope I have some responsibility for that, but, really, I'm grateful just to have had them as students. That's really been essential to me.”
