Insofar as price pressure in oil markets right now is due to supply shortfall v. 2019, at this point it is US production decisions that are the issue. thedailyshot.com/2021/12/03/sup… https://t.co/W56JtrHetz
@yzknl1 @emeyersson Hi this is fascinating. Do these enhance growth rates (which requires you to depress earlier GDP numbers and raise current ones) or are these level effects which would not raise growth rates? Is this written up somewhere I can read it? Engl/fr/Ger? Or maybe google translate.

@yzknl1 @emeyersson When do you think the inflation index issue first arose?
This chart by @Bruegel_org makes it look as though Eurozone faced serious risk of inflation overshooting in 2022. But it is not GDP-weighted. And the big spikes are Estonia, Latvia and Slovakia. Compare with Italy and France and even Germany! thedailyshot.com/2021/12/03/sup… https://t.co/MZJuUAO7G1

@JulianSayarer H/t Fred Halliday … and yup for me, predictably, it is all about “uneven and combined” development. Even just contrasting gdp per cap data, the simplest stuff, can be kinda revelatory in that regard.
European minimum wages as a % of national median wage. Combine that with actual levels of wage and you get an idea of degree of wage dispersion in EU. thedailyshot.com/2021/12/03/sup… https://t.co/cO1JWxaUkm
@JulianSayarer Thanks for the careful read and annotation Julian. Will bear those points in mind in further thinking and writing. Much appreciated.
