Tonight is the night! €4,362 raised, amazing!! There is still so much good in the world. Walking 40km without sleeping can feel challenging but it is absolutely nothing in comparison to what millions of refugees around the world endure as they are forced to flee their homes.

One week to go! www.nachtvandevluchteling.nl/teams/gronin...

On the night of June 14-15, we will walk 40km, starting at midnight, to raise awareness and funds for the millions of refugees around the world. Please donate! Every euro counts, even something as small as a coffee. #nachtvandevluchteling www.nachtvandevluchteling.nl/teams/gronin...

The editorial boards of seven leading health econ journals are taking a stand today against political influence and ideological attacks on peer review and academia. No matter what you study we want to see your scholarship and will NEVER collaborate with suppression. Please repost.

I had such a wonderful time at the Central University of Finance and Economics in Beijing, where I taught a short course and interacted with faculty and students. I could also visit Zhongnan University of Economics and Law in Wuhan for a research seminar. Thanks for the warm hospitality!

We are training! Are you donating? Every euro counts. www.nachtvandevluchteling.nl/teams/gronin...

This year, we will walk again 40km in the night of June 14/15 to raise awareness of the reality of refugees around the world. Will you sponsor our kilometers? And feel free to reach out if you would like to walk with us. www.nachtvandevluchteling.nl/teams/gronin...

Our paper! With Daniele Marchesi and Milena Nikolova

Today we are going to blow the whistle against the budget cuts to higher education. See you at 12.45 in Zernike!

Stemming uitgesteld? Onze inzet blijft gelijk. #DoeHetNiet

It felt great and right to stand in the Malieveld with 20,000 people to say, loud and clear: Doe het niet! Don't do it! Stop the budget cuts to higher education.

Italy becomes back to back Davis Cup Champions for the first time in history. 1976. 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 - 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒. Italy’s Golden Era has arrived. 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹

Happy new year!

Home. Happy holidays to you all! 🎅

A week ago I gave my inaugural lecture "Growing older in good wealth and health". It was a fantastic day and I am still recovering from the emotional hangover (and also from a bad flu). Thanks to all who made the day special.

On Friday at 16.15 in the Aula of the Academy Building of the University of Groningen, I will give my inaugural lecture "Growing older in good wealth and health". The lecture is public and will be live streamed. www.rug.nl/feb/research...

On the bright side, there is an 8 year old in our house! 💕

It is quite unsettling to be a migrant in a country where 1 out of 4 people voted for a (very far-right) anti-immigration party

With Dutch politics increasingly negative about internationals, foreign students and staff members are starting to feel unwanted at universities in the Netherlands, a survey by UKrant shows. ukrant.nl/magazine/sur...

As I am not an IZA fellow, I cannot sign. But I fully support this initiative.

If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me. Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.

And also this year, I have kept Venice's traditions alive abroad 😃 #sanmartino

Unbelievable. I have so many questions...

📣📢 We are hiring an assistant professor (research career track) in #econometrics! Expertise in machine learning is especially welcome. Groningen is a great place to live and work! Sharing is caring. #EconSky 📈📉 inomics.com/job/career-t...
