Europe plans up to €800bn for rearmament. New Kiel Report by Nathan Lane @straightedge: this can boost the wider economy, but only if policy is designed for it. Civilian spillovers aren’t automatic. Procurement, the biggest lever, is th least understood👉 kielinstitut.de/media/news/e…

Germany and France want a “Made in Europe” rule for cars. @MSchularick: “What Europe needs is not ‘Made in Europe’ but ‘Made with Europe’: an alliance of the middle powers willing to set common rules of origin and face China’s distortions together.” 👉 kielinstitut.de/media/news/f…

"Wir haben viele Exzellenzuniversitäten, gehören aber international trotzdem nicht zur Spitze"
Max-Planck-Präsident Cramer über Reformbedarf der Exzellenzstrategie, Chancen bei KI, Jagd nach Spitzenkräften und Umgang mit China.

🇺🇦 Of the €100bn Germany reports as "bilateral aid to Ukraine," only €41.7bn actually went to Ukraine, our new Kiel Policy Brief shows. €35.9bn was spent within Germany, and €22bn are future military commitments 👉 kielinstitut.de/media/news/u…
Military aid: about €22.7bn provided in 2022–25 and €11.6bn budgeted for 2026, plus €22bn in future promises. Since June 2025, Germany no longer publishes details on its military aid.
"Germany is clearly Europe's biggest donor to Ukraine. But the €100bn figure is misleading and wrongly labeled as 'bilateral aid to Ukraine'," says @Ch_Trebesch.
The tracker data is now updated through August 2026.

1/8 Rudolf Scharping und ich haben uns gefragt: Welche Bundeswehr wollen wir eigentlich? Deutschland wird Hunderte Milliarden Euro für Verteidigung ausgeben. Das ist notwendig. Aber Geld allein beantwortet nicht, welche Streitkräfte damit entstehen sollen.

Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe: eudata.vercel.app.
We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we publish more at stripeeconomics.substack.com.
