Fragmentation has costs. So does policy uniformity when there is uncertainty and underlying circumstances differ. Experimentation gets you more customized policy and policy innovation that can offset costs of fragmentation.

Good to get current with @stevelevitsky.bsky.social today, talking protest, politics, social capital, and more. Video here:

Just finished @drodrik.bsky.social's new book. Recommended. I particularly liked the focus on improving service sector job productivity, a strategy for countries at all income levels. Fits well alongside Case & Deaton's "Deaths of Despair" and Banerjee & Duflo's "Good Economics for Hard Times."

Thank you Todd. I am glad you liked it.

My quick take on what Europe needs to do to provide the leadership the world needs from it. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/w...

Europe is not as weak as it acts A new vision of EU integration is slowly but surely taking shape

Martin Sandbu is right. But to make progress, EU has to invert its founding logic. It must prioritize unity in national defense and geopolitics while encouraging countries to experiment freely in economics (on their own or in groups of their choice) www.ft.com/content/52d2...

Hope you like it.

Read the full transcript of Carney’s speech to World Economic Forum - National | Globalnews.ca Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a forceful speech in Davos, Switzerland, on the 'new world order' and how middle powers like Canada can benefit by working together.

Canadian PM Carney’s speech at Davos is a must-read. Nice illustration of Balance of Threat theory—he’s saying medium powers must band together to deal with the threat of a rogue US. He’s right: it’s just more evidence of #Trump’s grand-strategic incompetence. globalnews.ca/news/1162087....

Great to hear @drodrik.bsky.social speak at #LSEevents this evening on “shared prosperity in a fractured world”. Lots to ponder on raising living standards, tackling climate change and relieving global poverty. Much rests on an industrial policy for services NOT manufacturing.

Ousting Powell is like invading Greenland: pointless self-harm for the US, unless you consider that Trump's job is to destroy everything that makes America powerful enough to constrain the global warlord ambitions of Putin & Xi.

Thank you Diane, look forward to being there.
