The International Labour Organization (ILO) is launching a new global policy tracker to provide a comprehensive overview of legislative initiatives concerning digital labour ('#gigeconomy'). Great resource for all stakeholders. ilo.org/resource/news/ilo-la…

Alzheimer's research is an interesting case for econ of science. The premise in field is that scientific discovery is like other goods, there's a production function for it. But we've invested $43B, had 184K participants in trials, yet pretty much nothing to show for it

Legislators should focus on mitigating specific harms rather than anticipating broader concerns

Door de hogere NAVO-norm komt er in Nederland en in de Europese Unie 0,6 procent van bbp extra beschikbaar voor R&D-uitgaven. Deze middelen zullen niet per se bijdragen aan een autonomer, concurrerender en duurzamer Europa, schrijft Frenken buff.ly/kLZKpf9

Does the gig economy bring freedom or servitude for workers? What could generative AI mean for the future of gig work? What could the Platform Work Directive mean for Europe's platform economy? I explore these questions in this piece for @GreenEUJournal: greeneuropeanjournal.eu/gigi…

🌍The true size of the gig economy remains uncertain: Traditional labour force surveys and tax data often fail to capture gig workers, and platforms rarely disclose meaningful statistics. Estimates vary from 154 to 435 million gig workers globally.🌐 🔗documents1.worldbank.org/cur…
