Incredibly bad news for Economics in Germany. It was such a coup to attract a young superstar to run one of our leading research institutes away from MIT. I can’t believe we are losing him and all the potential he brought to IZA.

The *scientific council* was dissolved on 9/30/2023. But I don’t think we (Janet Currie, Jim Heckman, and I) would have been involved in merger / leadership transition. Vorstand + Kuratorium? Would have loved help find a better solution. (Still do.)

Great experience working with our French colleagues. I learned a lot. Also hope that the intersection of our views, which are not always identical, helps clarify what is really needed right now - expand supply of renewable energy ever faster, rather than argue about subsidies.

#Inflation im Nov < Okt, aber noch 2stellig. Geldpolitik muss daran arbeiten, langfristiges „scarring“ zu vermeiden, Fiskal-/Sozialpolitik die Verteilungseffekte der Inflation angehen, ohne Inflationsbekämpfung zu erschweren. Froh, dass @bundesbank -Präs. Nagel das auch so sieht!
