oh that fickle existential balancing act of tax emigrates

New Paper out with @financeandspace.bsky.social (open access!) about attempts to make voluntary carbon markets 'liquid' via legal standardization, and a source of climate finance for the Global South. Plenty of strange things happening in the process. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
The discourse. Immense, it is. Immaculate.
Well, I’d like to see ol Mette F wriggle her way out of THIS jam!
*Mette F wriggles her way out of the jam easily*
Ah! Well. Nevertheless,
📣 Publication day! The first paper from my project on Europe’s EV battery roll-out is finally out
I unpack how the EU’s EV battery boom is entangled with sacrifice zones—investment in Serbia & Hungary de-risked through autocracy.

Congrats! Looking forward to read, super interesting stuff. I may prod you later on this as a follow to our workshop from last year
Estimates from UK and Netherlands suggest global revenues from the global minimum tax will be around 30% lower under the "side-by-side" agreement (US carve-out).
This is line with @taxobservatory.bsky.social modelling from 2024 of the temporary UTPR exemption, so seems a credible magnitude.
Danish politicians and interest groups are fiercely debating the methodologies of economics working papers on wealth taxation over on LinkedIn. I, for one…
Damn there’s some bleak shit happening out there
Once again, the FT remains the only good global newspaper
Det vi har misforstået i Danmark er at man ikke bare kan diskutere en "formueskat". I andre lande får det sin egen nomenklatur. Buffett-skatten, Zuckerberg-skatten, Zucman-skatten, ultra-millionær-skatten, oligark-skatten. Hvor er vi henne? Mette-skatten, Seier-skatten, Morten Skov-skatten? Nej vel?
People trying to make this a Greenland election, I won’t stand for it
Tax policy at the top of the election agenda in Denmark, it's so on
"So what happens when a reputation for professional expertise and exemplary management becomes tarnished by yet another scandal?"
My colleague Laura Empson on the waning magic of big consultancies:
I have a new review paper out in @environmentalpol.bsky.social! ✨
What would it actually take for states to pursue green transformations? I identify 5 capacities — planning, disciplinary, strategic, legitimation and adaptive — and their respective policy elements, capabilities and institutions
Six years ago today. Just pre-COVID lockdowns (there's a story about my defence being the first superspreader event in Denmark but we'll leave that for another time), but feels like a lifetime ago.
The Big Four's loose legal network structures have, for a long time, helped the firms grow their global footprint and hedge against risks. But with increasing reputational pressure and investment needs, stronger hierarchical integration is well on the cards
Too few of these opportunities, still. Another great one is Socius' dataviz publications:

New data/description submission type alert 🚨
I aften holder jeg oplæg om skattely og den globale økonomi på Folkeuniversitetet (FUAU). Det glæder jeg mig til - og det glæder mig at mange, mange dygtige kolleger bidrager til den traditionsrige folkelige forskningsformidling. Det er vel husket i disse tider.
It was my mistake to write about obscure-but-not-quite-obscure-enough phenomena
I will not be annoyed that folks, in my discipline, who know my work, doing highly related research, refuse to engage with my work. I will not be annoyed that folks, in my discipline, who know my work, doing highly related research, refuse to engage with my work. I will not be annoyed that--*zen*
One thing I show in here which was picked up by some of the ‘EU weaponize’ crowd:
“Although only around one fifth of the world's largest multinationals are headquartered in the European Union, more than 80% have a legal presence in the [EU]”
Good canvassing from @martinsandbu.ft.com on the increasing awareness of EU-controlled chokepoints in the world economy:
“Great Man” theories of history may have been wrong but “That F*ing Guy” theory looks increasingly plausible.
