So exciting! It’s been such a great collaboration — fingers crossed the reviewers see it this way too.

Ya estamos en la #REPS2025 en @unirioja.bsky.social donde mañana presentaremos nuestro artículo "Excluidos?" sobre el aumento en la pobreza en hogares unipersonales y sus determinantes sociales, económicos y políticos.

Excited to be back at the School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice @ucdspswsj.bsky.social. Tomorrow I’ll be presenting some first results from the @whocounts.bsky.social project as part of their 10th anniversary seminar series — come along if you can!

What a week for the project at #ESPAnet2025 where we presented some preliminary findings and much more. Great discussions on welfare states, access to social rights & welfare experiences — thanks to all who engaged with our papers!

Come join us!

We’re here to change how poverty is seen, counted, and understood.

Los menores de 18 siguen siendo los peor situados a pesar de la mejora. Los mayores de 65 no vieron reducida su pobreza en la recesión. Se estabilizó hasta iniciar un descenso a partir de 2018.

The rise and fall of inflation in the Euro Area (2021-2024): A heterodox perspective Over the period of 2021–2024, inflation has resurged and then retreated in most industrialized countries. Economists were divided into two main camps:…

Decision-making in communitarian institutions remains biased by dogmatic beliefs. This recent study suggests that the handling of inflation by the BCE has (again) harmed Southern and Eastern European households the most: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Give me some time to think about a new one! 😂
