A new chapter begins! 🇳🇱🇪🇺
Warmest congratulations to @robjetten.bsky.social on being appointed the Netherlands’ next Prime Minister.
We're excited for the cooperation within the Renew Europe family, let’s build a brighter future together!
Quite the chart
Mark Carney's speech really is terrific: full text is here and very much worth your time.
Gabriel Zucman argues that empirically, with the right controls, 🇪🇺's economy does no worse than 🇺🇸 since 1990.
It is noteworthy, but not because doing better or worse than 🇺🇸 should be so relevant. Rather, because it highlights that 🇪🇺 is in a remarkable era of healthy expansion and growth.
It has become received wisdom in Brussels and Washington that there is a new “euro-sclerosis”: that the EU economy is lagging the US

Jetten en Bontenbal blunderen met inhoudelijk akkoord: andere partijen willen verder op basis van politieke spelletjes
De blokken in de Tweede Kamer 1986-2025.
In 2025:
Radicaal rechts + rechts = 73 zetels = geen meerderheid (in 2023 wel)
Rechts + centrum = 71 zetels = geen meerderheid
Centrum + links = 77 zetels = meerderheid
[En ja het is mij bekend dat je partijen ook anders in blokken kan indelen]
Welke partij wordt de grootste: bookmaker Polymarket laat zien dat er vandaag veel verschoven is.
I’ll just keep my papers within 10 pages then!

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization.
This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.
Indeed, I was there when they changed their logo from a plain “VU” to the “Griffioen”, with quite a story (distinct from your Euro one) to back it up. They also have a seal that has been around for ages.
Amsterdam has a university that would support that

A case of regress in applied econometrics: Arellano Bond 91 on feedback in panel data was the most cited econ paper of all time. Recent focus on DiD, with or without heterogeneity, has given us methods which fail under feedback, which is omnipresent in dynamic models. A useful reassessment here:
Check out the video of Stéphane Bonhomme's brilliant Sargan Lecture on feedback and heterogeneity in panel data at the 2025 RES Annual Conference in Birmingham #RES2025 @resmedia.bsky.social #EctJ
