New research on how housing cooperatives in Poland faced the 2022 energy crisis. We focus on strategies for managing energy as a common good, the challenges of skyrocketing prices, and the resilience (and limits) of collective action. #EconSky #EnergySky thecommonsjournal.org/articles/10....

New paper together with Piotr Lewandowski & Deborah Winkler in The World Economy is out! 🎉 Trading tasks in global value chains widens wage inequality by increasing the routine task intensity gap between offshorable & non-offshorable jobs. Still, GVCs reduce inequality in LMICs 👇

Looking for op-eds, podcasts, threads, and off-the-cuff comments on Trump's impact on the European tech sector. Will EU countries brain-drain the US? Will Virkunnen bring Europe tech sovereignty? If you have thoughts (yours or someone else's) on these and similar topics, please send them my way!

The “highlight” of today’s USAEE/IAEE conference was Liz Murrill, republican Louisiana Attorney General keynote. She basically told that, Biden administration wanted to destroy the American oil and gas industry and to favour abortion with a carbon tax.

There is a negative relationship between investing in energy efficiency and the inability to keep a dwelling warm during the winter among people at risk of poverty in the 🇪🇺. 🇪🇪 and 🇳🇱, leading in the scale of investment in energy efficiency, have 7% and 13% of vulnerable people living in cold homes…

...compared to 50% in 🇬🇷 or 🇵🇹. In Southern European countries many people at risk of poverty do not have heating at all. Is this solely due to the warm climate? Not entirely, as typically twice as many people at risk of poverty lack heating compared to those not in poverty.

How fast and how just is the energy transition in the 🇪🇺? 🇪🇺 18% of vulnerable people improved their home's energy efficiency, compared to 28% for those not in poverty. Southern Europe faces a slow and unjust transition, 🇳🇱 is fast but unjust. Shoutout to 🇪🇪 for speeding up and helping vulnerable people
