Ive Marx

We were honoured to welcome Dr. Lisa Suckert (University of Antwerp) for an insightful seminar on how we can conceptualize the multiple, overlapping crises. She introduced a novel theoretical framework that explores layers of uncertainty from an imagined futures perspective.

Our very own Sakura recently presented her work assessing the welfare outcomes of Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programmes. She evaluated a hypothetical expansion in the Colombian CCT programme, estimating the impact of targeting based on a multidimensional well-being proxy.

Wouter presented his work on using the maximal position approach to identify older Europeans with clustered disadvantages. Using cross-country data from SHARE, he examined the correlation between clustered disadvantages and mortality rates, and their persistence.

🚨 New Paper from CSB researchers in RSSM

Dries Lens, Kilian Van Looy, and @IveMarx studied whether temporary employment acts as a stepping stone or a trap for unemployed immigrants in Belgium

What would it mean to live in a “Zero Poverty World”?
That was the guiding question of the ESPAnet/AIPRIL Workshop on Minimum Income Protection at @uantwerpen.

A great exchange on today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities for MIP.

Goed. Akkoord dan met de stelling dat daar niet de toekomst van de progressieve vleugel ligt?

Vooruit. Maar ik niet liever dan het tegendeel bewezen.

Is politiek links gedoemd? Of kan Frank Vandenbroucke het socialisme nog redden? In de VS zitten de Democraten in crisis, in Europa krijgt links overal klappen. De enige hoop voor de socialisten wordt volgens Ive Marx binnenkort 70 en luistert naar de naam Frank Vandenbroucke.

Stukje over nieuw links en oud(er) links.

Heeft u het stuk gelezen?

Geachte @sncb-nmbs.bsky.social het is weer elke dag van hetzelfde. Welke excuses gelden deze keer als ik vragen mag?

Lukas showed me some pictures. You and your bride looked great!

Congratulations Kun!

Ontgroeien op Vlaamse wijze: met bureaucratie en pestregeltjes fnuiken we de kansen op een hogere productiviteit In ‘degrowth’-rangschikkingen doen we het goed, stelt Ive Marx vast. Dat vindt hij jammer, want een logge bureaucratie en een in regels gegoten wantrouwen tegenover arbeidsmigranten frustreren bedrijven op hun pad naar groei en innovatie.

Ontgroeien op Vlaamse wijze. Want wat we zelf doen dat doen we beter.

Ze heeft een uitstekend boek geschreven dat de dagdagelijkse realiteit van armoede in al zijn facetten tot leven brengt. Essentieel leesvoer in tijden dat al te vaak over armoede wordt gesproken in stereotypen.

Hartverwarmende avond. Dank @mamiracoli.bsky.social @karldrabbe.bsky.social @ivemarx.bsky.social Het volgende boek over onderwijs graag. 😎👌

I stumble upon Tony Atkinson’s last, unfinished book in my temporary office at the GC. It has this great first sentence. It immediately strikes a connection with the reader. I can hear him say it. That’s how you start a book.
