How Are “Financial Balances” Financed? Wicksell, (Keynes) and the US Mainstream Don't Fit Today's Institutions; Kalecki, Triffin, and Minsky Got it Right

Harnessing the benefits of herbarium specimen digitisation for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

Accounting for Cross‐Country Differences in Output Per Worker: A Sectoral CES Perspective

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.

Exploring the Role of Energy Consumption and Labour Productivity in Understanding the Effects of Climate Change on International Trade

The World Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change can influence international trade through several mechanisms, including infrastructure damage, disruptions to energy systems and reductions in labour productivity. Recent evidence for the United States also suggests that energy consumption responses play a central role in transmitting the real effects of natural disasters. Using

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study

Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 1531-1571, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.
