Sustainability reporting matters. Here is evidence of how oil companies reduce water pollution when they are forced to report on their fracking practices, from Pietro Bonetti, Christian Leuz & Giovanna Michelon

10% - 5% of Europeans are very vulnerable to high petrol prices (they are poor AND use car a lot). Great thread of research by @giulio_mattioli How difficult it is to target them with public policies?

Petrol and Diesel prices are spiking in many European countries, raising affordability concerns. I've spent a lot of time researching who would be most vulnerable to fuel price increases in countries including the UK, Germany, Italy & France, so here's a 🧵with what I've found

Energy companies seek €4bn damages over decisions to curb #FossilFuels. After all, slaveowners were also compensated when slavery was abolished. Somethings should be more important than property rights. ft.com/content/b02ae9…


Back to normal. E-commerce increased during the peak of the pandemic but is now almost back to 2019 levels. This study uses data from Mastercard from 47 countries. nber.org/papers/w29729#…


Spain's economy is 4% below pre-COVID, but employment is at a 10-year high and tax revenue has recovered. Either there is an unexplained structural change or something is missing in the data. elpais.com/economia/2022-… via @el_pais


Trade has pushed the border Northwards. Many green regions in the map are butter producers but still consume mostly olive oil. I'm from one of them, and I'm not complaining.

If #Amazon wants the world to know how it treats its workers, they could start by adopting a credible and recognisable standard for reporting, like those from @GRI_Secretariat ft.com/content/90b9a6…


China's anti-corruption campaign favoured SOEs and hindered private companies, maybe not by design, but through indirect incentives. Here is evidence from the real estate sector from Hanming Fang, Jing Wu, Rongjie Zhang and Li-An Zhou via @nberpubs nber.org/papers/w29688#…


There is no evidence that @Unilever 's concern with #Sustainability caused the drop in share price. But until we get good evidence of how both variables are connected, you will get many comments like this one. ft.com/content/7aa44a…


Worth watching how EVs sales in Italy respond to the withdrawal of subsidies. They were relatively low to start with.

Italy is withdrawing purchase subsidies for EVs 😲

"After the year 1850, the use of sentiment-laden words in Google Books declined systematically, while the use of words associated with fact-based argumentation rose steadily. This pattern reversed in the 1980s, and this change accelerated around 2007" pnas.org/content/118/51…
