A thread- one figure per fact

@Breakevennnnnnn @GuntramWolff There is joint and several liability.
You can "go against Germany" for the entire debt if a country does not pay.

@Breakevennnnnnn @GuntramWolff No, that is not what he means. I suppose looking at the charts is too much to ask?

RT @GuntramWolff: "Only when the tides goes out do you discover who has been swimming naked." As ECB liquidity flood ends, @lugaricano shows how EU debt is now prized similarly to Spain and not to Germany. No safe asset status. https://www.bruegel.org/blog-post/do-financial-markets-consider-european-common-debt-safe-asset

In this @Bruegel_org piece, @GBonfantiEcon (a fabulous @Columbia_Biz @columbia_econ PhD student) and I show that, since @ecb stopped buying, none of the different EU debt is treated a safe asset-in spite of joint and several liability from EU countries. https://www.bruegel.org/blog-post/do-financial-markets-consider-european-common-debt-safe-asset

The Brexiters convinced the UK people that the reason the UK was stagnating was Europe. Now that it is all in their hands, people can see the truth. Today: 267m spent by one branch or government to ask another branch of government for permission to build a road.
RT @Sam_Dumitriu: It cost National Highways £267m to prepare a planning application to get permission to build 23km of road.
The road, which would connect Essex and Kent, still hasn't gained planning pe…

When a blue chip asset manager is compelled to limit withdrawals, it is incurring a heavy reputational cost. Expect to see a lot of distressed REIT and Private equity portfolios.
The question of course is: will the contagion to real economy and banks be limited( like w/ Crypto)?

Until when will the EU let Orban blackmail us?
Right now he is blocking:
- €18 bn aid to Ukraine
- Finland and Sweden NATO entry
- Implementation of OECD agreement on 15% minimum tax rate
It's time to put an end to Orban's blackmail and protect the EU's strategic priorities

In 2017 obligatory car seat laws led to a permanent reduction of approximately 8,000 births and 145000 since 1980.

Wow! The limits of AI- a dinosaur civilisation, explained with all confidence.
RT @emollick: Outside of your field you should be very careful. “Creative AIs” can seem completely certain about results, and getting them to switch from sane to hallucinatory is a difference of a couple words.
Since we mistake confidence for accuracy, a confident computer may be a problem.

RT @berlin_bridge: @EmmanuelMacron must stop drinking putin’s Koolaid & spraying it at the press. russia already has security guarantees. It’s called the UN Charter. If they stop killing ppl & attacking other states, they have nothing to fear. In the meantime, we must defend ourselves against them.

Agree!
RT @R2Rsquared: This "blog post" on prospects for Euro-area inflation by Philip Lane @ecb is deeper and more thoughtful than many full-length journal articles. (A reflection of the strength of @ECB_Research) Strongly recommended reading.

RT @COdendahl: Of course, #Brexit cannot be made to work. It's either economically or politically unsustainable.
But it will probably have to damage Britain for a few more years before those 29% grow to 40. (Luke's thread is worth reading in full.)
