This paper, by means of a DSGE model including heterogeneous firms and banks, financial frictions and prudential regulation, first shows the need of climate-related capital requirements in the existing prudential framework.

Key Points: 
  • This paper, by means of a DSGE model including heterogeneous firms and banks, financial frictions and prudential regulation, first shows the need of climate-related capital requirements in the existing prudential framework.
  • We further show that relying on microprudential regulation alone would not be enough to account for the systemic dimension of transition risk.

People are complaining about Mercury in retrograde. But what does it actually mean?

So it seems a bit rough that we blame Mercury for all our problems three to four times a year when it’s in retrograde.

Key Points: 
  • So it seems a bit rough that we blame Mercury for all our problems three to four times a year when it’s in retrograde.
  • But what does it mean when we say Mercury is “in retrograde”?
  • A matter of orbits
    Retrograde motion means a planet is moving in the opposite direction to normal around the Sun.
  • Because Mercury is closest to the Sun and has the fastest orbit, it appears to move backwards in the sky more often than any other planet.
