The new semester is here, and so is the Research Seminar in Economics! 🎉 Every Thursday, a guest speaker will share their latest research on various topics.

An interesting moment in German politics. A former minister is indicted for false testimony at at an investigative committee in parlament. He cries WHICH HUNT, i.e., that the indictment is politically motivated. It will be important how many of his political allies play along with him.

I am super happy about the IZA network and DP series having found a new home at @liser.lu . Having visited in the past, I think LISER is the kind of place IZA could (and should ) have been. I wish them all the best!

One-year visiting position for advanced female postdocs in Dresden. I am happy to host anyone broadly interested in applied micro. Salary within the German public sector's pay scale (TV-L, E13-E15). Deadline: Sept 15, 2025. Please share widely! 👇

It's been 2 years (+ 1 month) since I left academia. In case anyone is wondering, I have zero regrets. Indeed, I'm living my best life and am so happy I made the leap. If you're considering leaving too, here are some thoughts on how to explore your options/find a job you'll love...

We extracted all publications in all psychology journals from 2015 to 2025 and looked at their citations. The modal number of citations of psychology articles is zero. Identifying errors in just a small number of highly-cited publications will have an outsized impact on scientific knowledge.

Photo taken at my kid’s robotics class. Same message I tell students when they start coding in their doctorate program 😊

What students think working with data looks like. #EconSky

Ben Jann’s #coefplot has made its way into countless figures in applied economics papers. It’s a staple in many Stata workflows—but the corresponding paper has fewer than 400 citations.

Humboldt University just won a court case against its own boss, the government of Berlin. 😲 The case was about limited-term employment for scientific staff. Here's a quick-and-dirty explainer, esp. for non-German readers who may be affected. 1/n www.tagesspiegel.de/wissen/frust...

Hat Spaß gemacht, im Open Science Magazin über Reproduzierbarkeit zu sprechen! Ich plädiere für eine offene Fehlerkultur: Fehler im Code passieren – wichtig ist, dass der Code veröffentlicht wird. Nur so können Fehler verbessert werden. Danke @zbw-leibniz.bsky.social für das Interview! #OpenScience

From June 23 to June 29, 2025, Freie Universität Berlin will be cutting out the letter e from its communication. Why? Because the university itself is facing cuts: around 37 million euros this year alone. Additional cuts are also planned for 2026 and 2027. (1/3)

Vom 23. bis 29. Juni streicht die #FUBerlin das "E", um zu zeigen, was fehlt, wenn Substanz gestrichen wird. Allein für 2025 sollen die Kürzungen rund 37 Million n uro betragen. D r B rlin r S nat g fährd t damit L hr, Forschung und Zukunftssich rh it. All Infos ➡️ tinyurl.com/aktionswoche...
