This weekend, the clocks go back 🕒 Did you know #DaylightSavingTime (DST) can impact currencies? 💱 Research by @MichaelNower shows DST can weaken currencies due to sleep disruptions & stress, but they often recover when DST ends 🔗 brnw.ch/21wO3SG

It’s no good looking under the sofa. Without higher taxes or cuts elsewhere, many of the campaign promises from the Tories and Labour cannot be fulfilled. So how much wiggle room is there? Very little @MichaelNower @durham_uni tells @phildobbie and me

Really enjoyed speaking with @rdhearing and @phildobbie on @CurveThewhy podcast on the prospects for government finances after the election.
Plenty of promises from Labour and Conservatives, but is there the cash to fulfil any of them? Without higher taxes or cuts to services how much wiggle room is there? Not a lot @MichaelNower @durham_uni tells @rdhearing and @phildobbie

I show that Iceberg costs perform relatively poorly at matching key moments of US trade, GDP and productivity data compared to the other variable trade cost specifications. \5
