- Finally, a huge thank you to all our RETHINK-GSC researchers for their hard work, insights, & for sharing findings in workshops, conferences, & policy dialogues. 👏 Here’s @akuegler.bsky.social @wifo.bsky.social at the ETSG 2025 in Milan, where several RETHINK-GSC research findings were presented.
- A huge thank you to our Advisory Board for supporting RETHINK-GSC. 💐 In this short clip, @marionjansen.bsky.social, @oecd-ocde.bsky.social, explains why understanding how knowledge flows through supply chains is key to innovation, resilience, and better policy advice. ▶️ Watch here 👇

- “The importance of trade in services between the US and the EU unfortunately only plays a minor role in the trade talks between the two countries, otherwise this would give the EU considerable negotiating power.” New Kiel Policy Brief by Holger Görg, RETHINK_GSC's project head, and colleagues! 👇
- Trade in services between 🇪🇺 & 🇺🇸 is largely neglected in current trade talks—despite matching goods trade in scale. From 2014–2024, the US ran a consistent services surplus, partially compensating its goods deficit. Ignoring this weakens the EU's negotiating position, warns a new Kiel Policy Brief 👇
- 🚀 More patents = more jobs — but only when innovation is diverse & connected. Our new RETHINK-GSC study shows: doubling patenting boosts jobs by 6%, but over-concentration in a few fields slows growth. 👉Smart, inclusive R&D policy is key. #Innovation #Jobs #STEM #EUresearch #RETHINKGSC

- Reposted by RETHINK-GSCInnovation drives jobs: Doubling patent activity boosts employment by 6%. The effect is strongest in globally connected regions. But when innovation narrows to just a few tech fields, job growth stalls. New findings from EU project @rethink-gsc.bsky.social 👇
- Reposted by RETHINK-GSCNew paper. My favorite takeaway is that MNEs are better at turning innovation into employment.
- 📣 New publication! "Multinational Network, Innovation and the Growth of Employment" MNEs = more innovation and more jobs. Study finds global firms are better at turning patents into employment. Local R&D → global ripple effect. Time to rethink how we support innovation? 💡🌍 #innovation #jobs #MNEs

- 🚨 Only 10% of EU patents involve universities. Why? A new study of 2,900 HEIs finds third-party funding boosts both quantity & quality of patents — especially in wealthier regions. Regional policy matters! 🔗 rethink-gsc.eu/funding-stru... #Patents #Innovation #ResearchFunding #RETHINKGSC #EU

- What if tariffs alone could eliminate the US trade deficit? 🧵 RETHINK-GSC institute lead @ronbdavies.bsky.social (@ucddublin.bsky.social) examined the set of assumptions underpinning Trump's tariffs, as laid out in last week's tariff announcement. More 👉 rethink-gsc.eu/deriving-the... 1/
- What if tariffs alone could eliminate the US trade deficit? That's the premise of a now-famous Trump-era economic model. 2/
- The model assumes: 🔹 Exports are unaffected by tariffs 🔹 Trade balances are independent from country-by-country 🔹 Identical behaviour for all goods and nations 🔹 No downside to trade surpluses 3/
-
View full threadMore worryingly, major tariff changes have been enacted without congressional debate — thanks to a decades-long shift of power to the presidency. When politics deteriorates and economics is oversimplified, policy can take radical turns with long-term global implications.
