FEDS Paper: New U.S. Business Establishments: Surging or Stalling?

06/22/2026 Federal Reserve Central banks

Dan Cao, Henry Hyatt, Toshihiko Mukoyama, and Erick SagerSince the 1990s, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has reported much more rapid growth in U.S. private sector employer establishments than has the Census Bureau – the gap reached roughly 1.6 million by 2023. Using linked BLS-Census microdata, we document two main drivers.

AI and the US labour market: effects on employment growth

06/22/2026 European Central Bank Central banks

The adoption of AI is reshaping the US labour market, with its impact on employment growth varying across occupations. AI has led to a job reallocation, particularly disadvantaging occupations with a high risk of AI substitution compared to those with low substitution risk.

However, this divergence in employment growth has not translated into wage disparities.

Beat the heat, the role of heat waves and droughts in regional EU economies

06/17/2026 European Central Bank Central banks

Europe is increasingly exposed to heat waves and droughts, but their short-term economic effects across sectors remain hard to predict. This study develops climate-augmented models to predict real growth in per capita value added across 1,117 EU regions (2002–2022), by combining economic indicators with high-frequency climate data. When using machine learning (ML, Random Forest and XGBoost), climate variables improve predictions in agriculture, while gains for other sectors are limited and do not outperform economic models.
