On my way back from this year’s Konstanz Seminar, exhausted and exhilarated after three intense days.
Many thanks to all participants for making it such a stimulating and enjoyable seminar. It was a real pleasure to bring this group together.

Fantastisch guter Reformplan!! Viele von der Politik formulierte Ziele sind Status-Quo bezogen (zB bei Erbschaftssteuer der Erhalt bestehender Arbeitsplätze). Mit disruptiven Veränderungen ringsherum ist Deutschland 🇩🇪 so schwer ins Hintertreffen geraten.
10-Punkte-Agenda für Deutschland mit einen lagerübergreifenden Kompass "Die Resilienz".

Vielen Dank an die @FAZ_Wirtschaft , dass sie unser „on the one hand …on the other hand“ genommen haben. @kuhnmo und ich wollten die etwas zu vereinfachend daherkommenden Vorschläge dann doch nicht ganz unkommentiert stehen lassen…👇

Zur aktuellen Debatte um den Kündigungsschutz: Viele Vorschläge klingen einfach, greifen aber zu kurz. Zusammen mit @makro_philip habe ich eine Reform des Kündigungsschutzes in der heutigen Ausgabe der @FAZ_Wirtschaft diskutiert.

That someone like Orbán can take us for a ride for a decade, collecting all the money with no repercussions for being a traitor, is a huge blemish on the Union and significantly damages our capacity to act. We need to go back to the drawing board and redesign the whole construction.
Mar 22
The news that Orbán’s people inform Moscow about EU Council meetings in every detail shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. We’ve had our suspicions about that for a long time. That’s one reason why I take the floor only when strictly necessary and say just as much as necessary.

As a member of the @cepr_org-EABCN Business Cycle Dating Committee, I’m glad to share our latest note: data through 2025 point to slow but resilient euro area growth. Investment is recovering and unemployment is at a historic low. [1/2]

Net exports remain a drag, though exports have held up better than expected. Higher energy prices and geopolitical uncertainty are new headwinds. Full note: eabcn.org/sites/default/file… [2/2] @ricco_giovanni

I publish today in FAZ with Ulrike Malmendier on the 28th regime the Commission is proposing. Behind the paywall, sadly! It will come out in Silicon Continent tomorrow, don't you all worry!
„Die Rechtsform EU Inc. landet als Bettvorleger“, von Luis Garicano & Ulrike Malmendier
„Die EU-Kommission will jungen Unternehmen in Europa das Leben leichter machen. Doch ihr Vorschlag für ein 28. Regime ist zu wenig ambitioniert. Noch kann er geändert werden. Ein Plädoyer.“

Yesterday I had the pleasure to deliver the keynote speech at the 2026 #USMonetaryPolicyForum. This year’s forum took place against the background of mounting pressure on central bank independence and profound disruptions of the geopolitical order. 1/20
