North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's most populous state, held local elections today. Support for AfD up but at 15% well below party's national polling. And lower among the young: 5th place on 11% among under-25s, who also delivered a smaller swing towards the party than did older generations.

It has now been almost 10 years since I approached IDEAS/RePEc to start a new newsletter for new working papers (NEP) related to the economics of gender.

The CitEc project has been extracting references and matching them across documents indexed in RePEc since 2001. CitEc.repec.org #RePEc #EconSky

I've seen editors of journals say this before but being on the other side can confirm: the easiest zero-cost way to speed up the review process is to quickly turn down requests to review that you can't do.

For the love of god if you haven't deleted your academia dot edu account 10 years ago do it now

Extremely sad to learn that former @eale-office.bsky.social president Bertil Holmlund has passed away. Bertil was the founder of the strong Uppsala labor environment. Working with him was a true learning experience. Kind, funny, smart, and unbelievably efficient. He will be deeply missed.

Very pleased to announce our special issue on Gender Norms, edited by @emmatominey.bsky.social and @nikkishure.bsky.social. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1...

In 2021 and 2023 I had the chance to serve on the @ERC_Research Starting Grant evaluation panel. There are a couple of things I learned that might be helpful to future applicants. I guess some points apply to other grants as well.

PhD position in Labor Economics on AI, Structural change & the Future of Work. A very exciting research group: Uppsala's excellent Labor Econ Environment--integrated with other schools, fields, practitioners, and leading international scholars. Apply now--call is short! uu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

I am heartbroken by the passing of our colleague Ghazala Azmat. A wonderful economist and AEJ: Economic Policy Board member, she was generous with her time and a vital contributor to many areas within applied economics and economic policy. She will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to her family.

THREE full professorships in Data Science, Microeconomics & Behavioral Econ — great colleagues, excellent research conditions and a spectacular setting in the Alps. Please share! 📈📉

In the German system, the professor is - supervisor - employer - examiner of "their" PhD students. Plus, they usually function as gatekeeper to the relevant scientific community. What can possibly go wrong? 🤔

An accurate description of Trump’s plan— 1) blow up 80yrs of intl law that prohibits recognizing annexations to let Ru keep Crimea, 2) feed even more Ukr territory to Ru in hopes of appeasing Ru expansionism; 3) leave Ukr without guarantees against 3rd Ru invasion. apple.news/AOde-PWipSVO...

Anomalies & data problems are found in the Hungarian EU SILC income data from around year 2017. It is very likely that the data was manipulated to decrease the poverty rate. Annamaria Tatrai and Andras Gabos conducted a very thorough investigation of the issue: www.valaszonline.hu/2025/04/01/e...
