Gerontoinnovation
As societies age they become less inventive. That much seems to be borne out by empirics. But it's not that straightforward. As it turns out, as societies age, a spurt of innovation occurs in the early stages. It is only later in the ageing curve that innovation begins to slacken, as a new CESifo study shows.

The View from Afar
All Germans, nay, all Swedes and sundry other denizens of prosperous, stable places should spend at least half a year abroad, ideally somewhere, well, less prosperous and less stable. This way they would realize what an extraordinary privilege it is to call their remarkably well-functioning countries home. (And tone down the griping in the process.) Therefore, granting this privilege to newcomers should be a bit less—undemanding. A view of Germany from afar, from your footloose Editor.

Temporary Migrant Workers
What with migration waves and right-wing nativist outrage, and growing unease about letting people in, it is illuminating to see where the respective countries actually stand in the migrant-worker league, at least of the temporary sort. The numbers wax and wane, with Germany and the USA trading places over time. Check out which other countries score big, or small, in this index.
