@waidler@bayerwald.socialKarin Kneissl, Ex-Außenministerin Österreichs, lebt seit 2023 in einem 400-Seelen-Dorf in der Region Rjasan. Im Interview beschreibt sie: In russischen Dörfern fehlt fast die gesamte Generation zwischen 15 und 50. Verbreiteter Alkoholismus, Mütter, die Schnaps statt Essen kaufen. Staatlicher Druck auf Frauen, mehr Kinder zu bekommen. Sie zählt die Folgen einzeln auf – über dem Sofa hängt Putins Porträt. Weggehen? Für sie „eine dumme Frage".

„So gesehen ist die Verkehrspolitik, die Berlin seit 2023 unter der CDU/SPD-Koalition erlebt hat, wie ein Perfect Match bei Tinder. Zwar fühlt sich kein Autofahrer glücklicher, seitdem die CDU die Verkehrssenatorin stellt. [..] Aber zumindest hat sich auch für die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer wenig bis gar nichts verbessert.“

Abstract: The New Keynesian example of Beraja (2023) is not identified at its printed calibration: more than one structure satisfies every condition of its identification step. Two of the paper's six identifying restrictions coincide on equilibrium equations consistent with the printed reduced form, leaving eleven conditions to determine an equation's twelve coefficients. The note derives the rank condition the identification step requires, computable from the reduced form and the restrictions alone. The note also documents and corrects a misprint in the paper's counterfactual display. A one-clause amendment to the paper's Theorem 1 restores its conclusion.

Abstract: The near-term growth of the commercial space economy and sustainability of the low-Earth orbit (LEO) environment depends on the commercial prospects of large LEO satellite telecommunications constellations (``mega-constellations''). If successful, mega-constellations can spur competition between launch providers, which may lead to lower launch prices. They may also demand orbital sustainability services and/or generate additional collision risk, which may in turn affect space sustainability interests. Consumer demand for mega-constellations' internet services is critical to their commercial success. This analysis presents a method to estimate consumer demand for mega-constellations' internet services, using SpaceX's Starlink over December 2021--November 2023 as an example. This analysis finds that Starlink users are highly concentrated in the wealthiest countries. It also finds that consumer demand for Starlink is growing more slowly than orbital capacity is being added and more slowly than demand for non-Starlink internet overall. Continuation of these trends may indicate that the market for mega-constellation internet is less lucrative than previous forecasts have indicated.
