Profits from scientific publishing are eye-watering, costing us billions. In ‘The Drain of Scientific Publishing’ (arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820), (building on ‘The Strain of Scientific Publishing’ doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_00327) we show how it is harmful – and unnecessary.

📢 New publication 🚨🚨🚨 I am happy to share a new publication (open access) regarding farmers' intentions to adopt a DSS, combined with data from meteorological stations, for pest management: doi.org/10.1016/j.at... Grateful to my amazing co-authors #agriecon

Call for papers and posters is open for #envecon2026. It is the UK's only premier applied environmental economics conference gathering research providers and users from academia, public and private sector. www.uknee.org.uk/envecon/enve...

heterogeneity of preferences

self-citations are getting too boring to follow

In a new paper, we (Leon Englberger, Liesbeth Colen and myself) investigate Swedish farmers' acceptance of experiments. doi.org/10.1093/qope... We do three things:

Greeks massively join Blue Sky. What about your nation? Have you observe a similar trend?

I'm visiting Carnegie Mellon for a week, and giving a talk tomorrow, on some interplay of mathematical logic, combinatorics and theoretical machine learning: www.cmu.edu/math/news-ev...

Welcome to the new arrivals. Here's a starter pack of Energy/Environmental economists to get you going: bsky.app/starter-pack...

Reposting a paper found on X (thanks Christoph - @crokochris.bsky.social) about organic adoption worldwide academic.oup.com/erae/advance... #agriecon

I want to upload a (short) paper on ArXiv. However, they require an ‘invite’ /recommendation from a current user. Could anyone recommend me? #econsky

Am I an early adopter or not??

Friends, the time has come, I'm looking for a PostDoc. If you hear of any positions (ideally in Europe/UK, starting next fall) that could be a good fit for a philosopher of chemistry, let me know! I'd love to branch out and collaborate across disciplines. #philsci #philsky

Im going to try and maintain a starter pack for #EconJMC this year. I need 7 names to get started. Respond to this post or send me a DM if you want to be included.

Historians of econ now curate a platform with economists' interviews that can serve as basis for research Check the first 2 collections online : the computerization of econ (Fisbacher on Z-tree, Hendry, Pierse on Winsolve, etc) and Trust in econ www.oralhistoriesofeconomics.org/accueil/coll...

I am attending at the 188th EAAE Seminar in Chania, Greece and one of the participants is exactly the same with Lesli from the Big Bang Theory !!!

I hope ppl who come here as an alternative to x to stay, as well We have seen “migration waves” before (e.g. mastodon) and didn’t work so well

@bsky.app is there any infographic on the allocation of bluesky users across the globe?

Another year with extreme #fires in #Greece. There are times I am wondering what actually has left to burn…

Wow! openalex.org looks like an amazing open alternative to Google Scholar. Citation counts etc. look very similar to GScholar on a quick vanity search. Check it out. Opens up a lot of possibilities for metascience.

Meanwhile, environmental gets gold #econsky

Any recommendation on the fuzzy cognitive maps? #econsky

In Greece they report less than 40% participation for the #EU_elections2024. That’s cannot be good for the Greek citizens

Austrian #economics is considered “heterodox”, or not mainstream. This article provides a brief history of the school, its contributions to #economic theory and the reasons it’s generally no longer considered orthodox. Read on for more! #EconSky -> inomics.com/blog/austria...

A very interesting paper on citizens' preferences towards various policy goals #econsky #envecon

I haven’t been on #Bluesky for quite some time. What I have missed :)

#econsky #greensky #envecon I'm trying to find some examples of companies that have implemented internal carbon pricing systems. E.g., constrain emissions at the enterprise level, allowing one business unit to trade permits to another Anyone have any preferred examples?

@skeetsapp.com [BUG]: When I open the app I get a message: "Error: List not found". I don't know to which list it refers to, since I don't have a list (neither create nor follow). It's quite annoying, but appart from theat I really appreciate your effort

A great loss…

I am thinking to switch to #EconStor as my primarly source for preprints/working papers. You can find an updated (small improvements) version of my WP: "Monopolistic pricing with goal-driven consumers" hdl.handle.net/10419/284924 #EconSky

I am watching the Greek trials playoffs for selecting the team, which will represent as in the next world bridge event. Excited to discover some bidding sequences. #contract_bridge

I saw that #BlueSky introduces many nice features, eg hashtags and mute words! Nice work! (Edited 6:38 PM)

I just found a nice article by @robertfinger.bsky.social that tries to explain the impact of pesticide policy on agriculture and food systems onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #EnvEcon #EconSky

Another rejection, but this time we got some feedback/comments. You can tell that’s a progress!!! #try_to_think_positive

Today's walk around Castle Island

missing.csail.mit.edu Lots of useful stuff here: git, vim, shell scripting, ... 📉📈

I like the last sentence!

One of the perks of working in Stockholm and Uppsala is that there are so many great seminar series around. I just updated my page aggregating all econ seminars in Stockholm and Uppsala: jansauermann.github.io/seminars.html @iies.su.se #EconSky 📉📈

Before a couple of days I saw an interesting, open access article published in a (peer-reviewed) journal. The 3rd author is also the journal's chief editor. I guess it's ok, but is that ethical?? #AcademicSky #EconSky

Trying to finalise my 1st single-author article. It feels so endless…

Renewable energies are key to mitigate climate change but also bring about their own environmental issues. Brett Day (@uniofexeter.bsky.social) and I have compiled a special issue dedicated to managing renewable energy externalities. This thread gives an overview 1/7

So far, I've adapted well enough to know what *time* it is, but I'm still struggling a bit with what *day* it is...
