This figure is striking.
It shows the relationship between where people think they are in the income distribution and where they actually are.
Observations below the line indicate that people think they are poorer than they really are (and the reverse above the line).
What do you notice?

This paper has been in the making for so long that eight children across the co-author group were born between the time we started and now!

How big are German fiscal multipliers? 🧵
Quite big: 1.0 for infra/defence and 0.2 for EZ spillovers, *at least*
For starters, the proposed package is very large in historical context. 1/

Der Staat kauft jedes Jahr für ca. 350-550 Milliarden Euro Waren und Dienstleistungen ein. Dabei will er eigentlich auch auf die Nachhaltigkeit achten. Doch unsere Studie zeigt: Nur ein kleiner Teil der Aufträge erfolgt nach Nachhaltigkeitskriterien. (fw) bertelsmann-stiftung.de/de/u…

The EU fiscal rules reform is sealed. The results are largely as expected. However, one important last-minute tweak to the rulebook is actually a significant improvement over the proposals that went into the negotiations. Short thread:

"Germany was worst-performing major economy last year" says @FT. But beware the temptation to only blame this on the energy crisis. The cracks in Germany's economic model already started emerging in 2018/2019, and gas prices were still low for years (1/6) ft.com/content/792a1a09-701c…

I had 11 rejections of papers in 2023, and 2 acceptances. Just to show the young colleagues out there that behind every publication, there's typically a multitude of rejections. Although I’ve been publishing for a decade, it still takes an effort not to take rejections personally
