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 😊

TIL "Originally considered by Allied scientists in World War II, [multi-armed bandits] proved so intractable that (...) the problem was proposed to be dropped over Germany so that German scientists could also waste their time on it." doi.org/10.1111/j.25... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-a...

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...
