Can Indonesia Actually Raise Its Debt to GDP Ratio to 50 Percent? @Diplomat_APAC thediplomat.com/2024/06/can-… Great article by @JamesJGuild referencing debate in the 1950s between Prabowo's father, Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, and Sjafruddin Prawiranegara, 2 major figures of that era.

Indonesia’s $20 Billion #JETP has laid out a roadmap to net zero, but many details are still only vaguely sketched.

It's early days for @ADB_HQ's Energy Transition Mechanism (ETM), with details are still being worked out. But the basic goal is pretty straightforward: getting countries in Southeast Asia to #QuitCoal.

My @LowyInstitute paper on Indonesia’s sovereign development fund, INA, is out! INA’s main role is to support Indonesia’s sustainable development by making investments in companies and projects, hopefully with global investors. WILL IT SUCCEED? (1/) lowyinstitute.org/publicatio…

Great piece by @JamesJGuild
Happy to see the discussion on industrial policies being 'normalised' (slowly but surely) in the context of Indonesia!
Indonesia has the largest raw nickel ore deposits in the world, and it's increasingly been leveraging that fact to boost investment in the downstream sector and make itself an indispensable part of the EV supply chain. New piece for @east_asia_forum.

"Indonesia wants to take a central position in the value-added links in the #EV supply chain — from mining the ore [to] eventually to building the cars. And because Indonesia controls the raw input, it turns out it has a lot of leverage" - @JamesJGuild eastasiaforum.org/2021/03/30…

THREAD. Found this fascinating Japanese newsreel filmed shortly after the British surrender at Singapore. A victor’s perspective, yet full of pathos: youtube.com/watch?v=loEhKT6l… – at Central Region, Singapore

the lesson to learn from mcconnell is that it’s honorable if you stand up at the very last possible moment and denounce something that up until very recently you vigorously stoked for your own political advantage?? uh, nope.

Good piece by @JamesJGuild on Indonesia's so-called Sovereign Wealth Fund. To my mind, it's reflective of the Jokowi administration's approach to governing: focused on foreign investment & infrastructure, with statist leanings and short on details/clarity thediplomat.com/2020/11/indo…

Congratulations to @JamesJGuild and contributors on an important and timely edition on the challenges posed by Indonesia’s energy dilemma. #ClimateAction
I was fortunate to be invited to guest edit the most recent edition of @InsideIndo on energy policy. I'll post a more detailed thread later but want to thank @JemmaPurdey @evewarburton @EricSasono @abidahbillah and all the contributors for their work.

On the left and right, there is rising interest in industrial policy. My new @TheProspect piece argues that industrial policy has been with us since the Founding – and there have been four traditions in American industrial policy. 1/9 prospect.org/economy/industr…

I just had a look at this textbook and I am STUNNED
Two top-notch econometricians discussing causality, structural models, tons of DAGs, back-door/front-door criterion, but also details of non/semi-parametric estimation, LATE, DiD, RDD, plus dynamic treatment effects? Huge.
This new metrics+causal inf textbook has received little attention on #econtwitter so far, probably because none of the authors are active here. But guess what, it contains DAGs! In the next weeks I'll take you on my reading journey & will share selected thoughts #econbookclub 1/
