Allaoleva on saanut huomiota & koettu valaisevaksi; siispä muutama kriittinen kommentti. TL;DR: kyseessä on mielestäni harhaanjohtava ja/tai olkiukkoargumentti. "Rahoituskestävyys" ei ole välttämätön eikä riittävä ehto talouden kriisinkestokyvylle & sen linkki valtionvelan kestävyyteen on ohut. 1/n

Asiat eivät ole ihan niin huonosti, kuin monista otsikoista voisi päätellä. Lue @kurronens.bsky.social blogi mm. Suomen ja Yhdysvaltain kaupasta.

Graph of alternative measures of the informal economy showing the average level as a share of GDP.

Economists have long struggled to measure the informal economy, despite its significant role in global economic activity. Previous methods have relied on indirect proxies such as cash circulation or electricity usage, or on inferences based on highly structured macroeconomic models. This column introduces a new, algorithmic and easily updateable approach to estimating informal activity in Europe, utilising VAT data and consumption surveys. While the approach works particularly well for Europe, it can in principle can be extended to other countries where value added taxes are a major source of revenue.

F Pappadà & K Rogoff develop a new, algorithmic, & easily updateable approach to estimate informal activity in #Europe, utilising VAT data and consumption surveys. They estimate the share of the informal economy in the EU ranging from 36% in Greece to 5% Belgium.

Tiiviimpi pohjoismainen yhteistyö pääomamarkkinoilla voisi parantaa yritysten rahoituksen saatavuutta ja näyttäisi suuntaa Euroopan kehitykselle, sanoi johtokunnan varapuheenjohtaja @marjanykanen.bsky.social Helsingissä pidetyssä Talousaamupäivä-tilaisuudessa.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico with an added 10 percent tariff on China would cause lower GDP and higher inflation than otherwise

25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico with an added 10 percent tariff on China would cause lower GDP and higher inflation than otherwise

Imposing 25% tariffs on Canada & Mexico, & a 10% tariff on China would harm all four economies—including the US. GDP would be lower & inflation higher than otherwise in each country.
