Looks and Luck
Of course when I choose a person looks don't matter! It's what the person stands for what counts. Her competence. Really? Ehem. Don't mean to prick your self-esteem bubble, but chances are the last time you voted the candidate's looks more than her outlook drove your decision. Or her luck. Or both. But that depends on your electoral system, as new CESifo research shows.

Grey New World
The usual thing is that as you grow older, you grow richer. But, when it comes to countries, usually when they grow richer, they grow older. And that will play havoc with the finances of most of the rich world, with their ability to innovate, and with their voting patterns. See how your country is doing in the Oldie League.

News and things of interest to CESifo Network members
Well, what did you expect. This is the summer, after all. A big hole emerges that sucks in all economics-related events—at least those from our Network members. So this link leads to a big hole. Next month, it will lead to juicy postings and unmissable events again. For new postings, please contact Ines Gross.
