🧶 La semana pasada tuvo lugar el derrumbe de parte del puente de #Mantible. En esta ocasión, queremos aprovechar este #JuevesArqueológico para conocer mucho más a esta construcción tan peculiar. 
💭 El pasado verano tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer el puente de la mano de Ramón Loza (@VitalFundazioa):
🌉 Decimos que el puente de #Mantible es peculiar por numerosos motivos, pero estos últimos días ha sido noticia porque uno de los dos arcos que se conservaban se hundió debido a la crecida del río #Ebro: (@La_Ser) cadenaser.com/emisora/2021/0…
🧵 Seguraski, pasa den astean irakurri zenuten nonbait #Mantible-ko zubiaren erorketa. AAI-tik, #ArkeologiaOstegun hau erabil nahiko genuke Mantibleko zubia gehiago ezagutzeko. Bazatozte?
💭 Gogoratzen bazarete, iaz zubia ezagutzeko aukera izan genuen Ramon Loza-ren eskutik (@VitalFundazioa):
The #Global #Financial #Crisis of 2007/08 taught the policy making world that something special beyond #Conventional #MonetaryPolicy was necessary to lift economies out of the economic malaise...tinkering with the key rates was not enough anymore...
To this end, #centralbanks in the developed world (The US, UK, Japan, The EuroArea) adopted what they termed #UnconventionalMonetaryPolicy #UMP which is characterised by #ForwardGuidance #NegativeInterestRatePolicy & #QuantitativeEasing...but, have they helped?
Terrific panel at #ASSA: aeaweb.org/webcasts/2020/… on the book by Anne Case and Angus Deaton “Deaths of despair and the future of capitalism”(out in March)on the terrifying health crisis in US with overall decreasing life expectancy and mortality trends among American whites1/n
In the past 3 years life expectancy decreased in the US and the following chart presented by Case/Deaton shows the uniqueness of the US with an inefficient health system that uses 18% of GDP against 10% in the EU and produces much worse health outcomes 2/n
These results stem from the drugs, alcohol and suicide crisis affecting american whites mortality rates (the thick red line, USW) but not hispanics (the thick blue line, USH) in this shocking chart 3/n
