Could government borrowing, AI investment and falling corporate profits trigger a global financial crisis? Explore the pressures and risks for business.

Europe's AI teardown reveals strengths, gaps, and a path to strategic autonomy for European firms and policymakers.

Deep learning is increasingly presented in economics as a new paradigm for solving dynamic models, superseding the classical projection methods of numerical economics. We argue that this dichotomy rests on a misclassification. The neural-network s...

On August 24, 2026, prosecutors in Taiwan charged nine people with illegally exporting advanced AI servers to China. Their case describes 74 servers built around Nvidia's B300 processors that were banned from sale to China but reached their destin...

Twenty-five years from now, Richard Baldwin (IMD Business School) argues, the world trade system will not have collapsed but been rebuilt, into three blocs, Europe, the US and China, none strong enough to dominate the others. Writing for CEPR's Eu...

When contests turn personal, employees can make high-risk choices that hurt the organization. Linus Dahlander, Henning Piezunka, and Arne Thomas suggest ways to identify and reverse the damage

The “tragedy of the horizon” captures the gap between long-horizon climate damages and the shorter horizons of corporate decision-making. We provide a contracting account of this idea using a deliberately standard CARA-normal moral-hazard model. U...

We show that a one-sided price-adjustment rule, with free price cuts but a fixed daily reset for price increases, raises the reset price even under risk neutrality, mean-zero wholesale cost shocks, and perfect consumer information. The mechanism i...

What happens when large language models become commodities? Competitive advantage moves from the model itself to the balance sheet behind it. AI is now reversing 20 years of technology economics, turning what was once a software business into a ca...
