Took my 7yo & 4yo to their first baseball game today. Tornados welcomed the Hedgehogs to the Roberto Clemente Field (that's Mannheim and Heidelberg, for those not familiar with Germany's 2nd league)

This is an interesting initiative! A 5-year journal (a "pop-up" journal) dedicated to one question: what's the return on R&D? Is it $2 for every $1 invested? $10? $20?

Sloan and Open Philantropy are inviting organizations to apply to curate this first 5-yr journal effort.

Is more active patenting a strategic response to heightened risks of trade secret misappropriation? Or does it mean more exposure to such threats?

Take a look at Nicola Searle's and my IAM article summarizing our recent Innovation & Research Council report

Hopefully no one because there should be nationwide class actions taking care of this stuff

94 federal districts, which means 94 potential different policies. Who's gonna write that high-frequency staggered diff-in-diff estimator? #EconSky

#EconSky #IOSky - 2025 Asia-Pacific IO Conference: Dec 12-14 in Brisbane, Australia apios.org.au. Call for papers in mid-July. Keynotes by #PaulHeidhues & #GingerZheJin and a great group of invited speakers. It's 10 years of APIOC, and we couldn't pick a better place. Please share!

The Summer Institute in Comp Policy is one of MaCCI's annual highlights. I haven't been in a few years, and this year I had to cut my visit short.

Check out the program!!!

The "IG Comp" is a monthly meeting for all our competition-interested researchers - a place to pitch an idea, present preliminary (or not so preliminary) results, and have a chat about the hot topics in competition economics and policy.

The first year of our IG Competition seminar series @zew.de is slowly coming to a close. Last week, @lucasan.bsky.social took us on a fascinating tour through the history of competition as an economic (+ policy) concept. We all look forward to our July meeting, which will focus on the DSA. #EconSky

Bavaria's remake of the Disney Cinderella Castle is a major success

The state of IO in Mannheim is strong! #EconSky

If we want better compliance (with the rules in place), giving regulators more resources is one way to get there (yes, good regulation is costly).

How can industrial policy drive innovation without competition?

In the second panel, @haucap.bsky.social (@hhu.de) opened the discussion, following insights from Thomas Gäckle @bmwe-bund.bsky.social , @ganglmair.bsky.social (ZEW), Susanne Gewinnus (DIHK) and Ori Schwartz @oecd-ocde.bsky.social)

Who had a Lord of the Rings analogy on their bingo card for the industrial policy workshop in Berlin?

@hertieschool.bsky.social @kiel.institute @oecd-ocde.bsky.social

... positive externalities galore! "Get into a [green] subsidy war!"

... good policy

"Global subsidy race in renewables and green industries is a good thing"

... bad policies ~ beggar-thy-neighbor policies: benefits at home are generated by hurting other countries (e.g., export control/bans, tariffs)

... yes, we can have industrial policy tools (meant to address market failures) that are not at odds with open trade, unless: mistakes or bad policy
