    While I like the animal videos here, I think it is probably time to move to Bluesky. You can find me @erik-jones.bsky.social.

    What at tremendous honor to be allowed to follow in the footsteps of @BrigidLaffan and to work with such amazing colleagues @RobSchuCentre @EuropeanUni. I guess my ‘study abroad’ adventure is going to last a little longer than I expected when I left the US in 1988.
    We're thrilled to announce @Erik_Jones_SAIS, from @SAISHopkins, as the next Director of the Robert Schuman Centre from September 2021! Welcome Erik! @RobSchuCentre 🔗loom.ly/kBVLK4c

    Yesterday was my last official day @SAISHopkins before starting my leave to join @EUI_Schuman @EUI_EU. My time at SAIS started as a graduate student in 1988. I had many interesting jobs after I graduated but coming back to SAIS was always my dream. 1/

    Proof that academics are just older students. No one wants to sit up front. #EUSA2019

    Italian trust in the EU down to 27% from 42% last year. If there was a recovery in attitudes, that is gone now. Meanwhile more Italians want to get closer to China than to the US, particularly in the Five Star Movement. Center right voters are still looking across the Atlantic.

    Economic performance is often a matter of narrative (Shiller), perception (Philippon), and crisis (Gerber); as a result, the 'truth' in economics is not always what it seems.

    I felt a bit of impostor syndrome when I got to the Delphi Economic Forum, but I think I am over it now.

    Europeans are going to share the risks of this crisis whether they like it or not; the only real question is how. erikjones.net/2020/04/12/why…

    Eurobonds versus Corona bonds versus ESM Conditional Lending. Confused? This is a video I made for my students on (the dreaded) Panopto to try and explain. I know -- stop rocking; don't touch your face; speak more slowly. I have a lot to learn.

    Italian PM Giuseppe Conte is announcing unprecedented restrictions on freedom of movement. As someone who criticized him consistently when he was appointed, I am humbled by his skill at delivering an impossible message in reassuring and informative tones. So important. Well done.
