Platforms, promotion, and product discovery
Digitisation has vastly increased the amount of new music produced and, following the advent of streaming platforms, has raised the number of songs available directly to consumers. In 2017, Spotify added nearly a million songs to its catalogue, giving its users access to 35 million tracks.1 Streaming platforms have thus substantially levelled the playing field for music creators by allowing products from diverse sources – such as independent...

Incrementum Inflation Signal Update – A Reversal To “Rising Inflation”
Introductory Remarks by PT We have discussed the proprietary Incrementum Inflation Indicator in these pages on previous occasions, but want to quickly summarize its salient features again. It is a purely market-based indicator, this is to say, its calculation is based exclusively on market prices and price ratios derived from market prices. However, contrary to most measures of inflation expectations, the Incrementum Inflation Signal is not...

What can the EU do to keep its firms globally relevant?
There is a fear that EU companies will find it increasingly difficult to be on top of global value chains. Many argue that EU-based firms simply lack the critical scale to compete and, in order to address this problem, that Europe’s merger control should become less strict. But the real question is where the EU can strengthen itself beyond the realm of competition policy. This article was published by the Berlin Policy Journal, La...

Why the EU-Japan trade deal matters for Brexit
The EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement entered into force at the start of this month, but it is unclear whether the UK can retain the benefits of the agreement after it leaves the EU. Han Dorussen writes that the UK risks being excluded from what Brexiteers want: a free trade area ‘beyond Europe’ and greater ‘global influence’. On February 1st, the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) entered into force. Rightly described as a...

Institut ifo : De nouveaux droits de doune américains sur les voitures pourraient réduire les exportations allemandes de voitures vers les États-Unis de 50 pour cent à long terme
Les exportations allemandes de voitures vers les États-Unis pourraient chuter de près de 50 pour cent à long terme si les États-Unis imposaient des droits d'importation permanents de 25 pour cent supplémentaires. C'est le résultat des derniers calculs de l'Institut ifo. "Ces droits de douane réduiraient de 7,7 pour cent le total des exportations de voitures en provenance d'Allemagne, soit 18,4 milliards d'euros ", explique Gabriel...

Non-expiring information
I liked this line from this piece at Farnam Street: A lot of us are on the treadmill of consuming expiring information. Expiring information is not the same as trivia, which can be useful and interesting. It is instead knowledge which has a short shelf-life. A lot of talk about Brexit has been expiring information. We are no nearer today to knowing what type of Brexit we’ll get (or even if or when we’ll get it) than we were on June 24th...

What is happening: the future of Brexit and National and Global politics.
As the Brexit campaign comes to its denouement it is becoming clear what is happening in National and Global politics.Brexit is just the opening salvo in a much greater event to come where the spread of the Internet and the AIs that it hosts will provide utter dominance for corporate and government forces within 20 years if they are not resisted. The simple summary of what has happened to date is that Multinational Corporations,...

They will be joined by John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, to talk about EU-US relations and how to move forward with global foreign policy issues. Boris Johnson, recently appointed UK foreign secretary following the British vote to leave the EU, will make his...

EU Basics – Your Guide to the UK Referendum on EU Membership
By Professor Richard A. Werner, D.Phil. (Oxon) 20 June 2016 The British people should be clear about just what they will be voting on at the EU referendum this Thursday. What does it actually mean to stay in the EU? What does it mean to exit? Concerning the second question, the dominant issue in the debate has been the question whether there will be a significant negative economic impact on the UK from exiting the EU. Prime Minister David...

The Romanian Palimpsest
The foreigner in Romania is immediately struck by the country’s hybrid culture. This is obvious from the first words one learns to garble: piața (very close pronunciation to Italian’s piazza), mersi (from the French merci, though the “r” is a little more rolled), da (yes…), or even bacşiş (baksheesh). We then have a mysterious mélange of Western and Eastern Europe, the Romanian roots are decidedly mixed. Like in any country, the stages of...

Time for a regime change in Frankfurt
In recent years, the European Central Bank’s (ECB) monetary policy has been half of what is necessary, two years late. To get eurozone inflation back to its ‘close to 2 per cent’ target, the ECB needs to be much bolder. The ECB’s meeting on March 10th is shaping up to be one of its most anticipated. Inflation remains far below target and market expectations of future inflation have hardened at very low levels, indicating that investors have...

Alberto Bagnai – Il Fatto Quotidiano
Guardate questo breve scambio su Twitter: Paolo Cirino Pomicino sostiene che l’entrata nell’euro non fu di per sé un errore: l’errore fu entrarci al cambio sbagliato. Alla richiesta di precisare quale sarebbe stato quello giusto, precisa: “poco più della metà”. Insomma, il cambio corretto, secondo Cirino Pomicino, sarebbe stato di circa 1000 lire per euro (la conversazione, se interessa, è qui). Qualcuno penserà: “Chiacchiere del sabato...

How low is low for Chinese GDP growth?

Successful emerging economies are supposed to grow faster than...

Argentina’s Options: What happens after default?
Argentina’s Options: What happens after default? Argentina is probably going to default tomorrow. An Argentinian debt default would clearly not be good for the country economically, but contagion would probably be limited and far less hard hitting than its previous 2001 default. If Argentina does default tomorrow, the biggest casualty would be the process of sovereign debt restructuring, which would become chaotic and haphazard. How...
