Very happy to see my first single-authored article published as a working paper in PEGIS🥳
In this article, I argue that powerful incumbent firms are an important but often overlooked actor type in shaping the pace and direction of regional path development. A short thread🧵(1/3)
New PEGIS paper out now:
In the latest contribution in the PEGIS working paper series, @S_Baumgartinger investigates the role of powerful incumbent firms in regional path development and highlights their role as actors of both, maintenance and change.

That is why we need neutral commentators - the non-stop slacking of Ju Wenjun for her play in the tiebreaks by the official commentators is extremely startling and disrespectful. #WWCC2018

PAP Conference - PM Lee: Once society is divided, it will be impossible to rebuild a centrist party and bring Singaporeans together again. Would be like trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together.

Looking at latest decisions of @realDonaldTrump someone could even think: with friends like that who needs enemies. But frankly, EU should be grateful. Thanks to him we got rid of all illusions. We realise that if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of your arm.
