One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

Um, ok... This paper forthcoming at the JOP provides evidence that rent control in Germany actually made tenants MASSIVELY *less* NIMBY. This result was in the opposite direction of the authors' pre-registered expectations. And the effect sizes are, truly, massive.

📣 Call for Papers Join us for the 2nd Berlin PhD Conference in Economics on July 6-8, 2026. 🗓 July 6-8, 2026 ⏰ Application deadline: 25 January 2026 🔗 Learn more & apply: berlinschoolofeconomics.de/event-detail... @wzb.bsky.social @hertieschool.bsky.social #phdconference

🥳 Barbara Vetter, Professorin für Theoretische Philosophie an der #FUBerlin, erhält den #Leibniz-Preis 2026 der @dfg.de. 🎉 Wir gratulieren zum wichtigsten deutschen Forschungsförderpreis und einer Förderung von 2,5 Millionen Euro! www.fu-berlin.de/presse/infor...

In Giessen: 2-jähriges Stellenmoratorium: keine Stelle - ob Verwaltung, wiss. Mitarbeiter, Professur - wird besetzt oder vertreten (auch nicht bei Elternzeit, Krankheit, Vakanz). Verlängert (3+2) wird aber. Meine Fakultät wird 20% der Professuren ersatzlos streichen. Die Landesregierung will es so.

Nicht mehr verlängert, würde doch bedeuten, dass ein größerer Teil des befristeten Mittelbaus entlassen wird?

🎉 I feel very honored to have received the Best Paper Award at the European Winter Meeting of @econometric.bsky.social in Nicosia, Cyprus, for my paper with @vsondergeld.bsky.social titled "Meet my family: women in leadership and gender stereotypes in the media". More info on the paper below ⤵️

The Bill Clinton and Donald Trump thing is definitely true. I did my own research. I saw a Facebook post and mumsnet post about it from someone who says they’re from the White House. Also many people are saying it. See? Damning evidence.

1/ Egalitarianism should begin at home. I link to this article by @bencasselman.bsky.social in light of the communications between Larry Summers and Jeffrey Epstein that have just been released. The released emails and the fact of friendship are vile. www.nytimes.com/2021/02/23/b...

Season's greetings from Berlin (from www.instagram.com/p/BppaR-zhMJG/)

I don't think it's comprehensive, but John Ganz has been pretty good at chronicling the revolt of the bosses over the past few years. www.unpopularfront.news/p/the-emergi... and www.unpopularfront.news/p/what-happe... are two worthwhile pieces in his work on this topic.

This is a bunch of Berlin universities working together, including mine.

🎉 Yesterday, we had the pleasure of welcoming our new tenure-track Assistant Professor @philippbach.bsky.social at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social In his talk, Philipp gave an inspiring overview of his work in the field of #CausalMachineLearning: method development, software tools, and applications.

⚖️🎓 A top UK university granted anonymity in a sexual harassment case to “protect its reputation.” No hearing. No reasoning. No time limit. Reputation over justice, even though the new Higher Education NDA laws try to protect students and staff, this is how violence against women stays hidden

Darauf freue ich mich besonders: eine Bürokratie-Vorlesung an der Humboldt-Universität in Berlin und ein Streitgespräch mit @georgweizsaecker.bsky.social! Am Mittwoch, 29. Oktober, um 17.45 Uhr. Vielen Dank für die Einladung!

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!! The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

every time one of those "look how evil ages you" posts goes viral you get a reminder that much of us have heuristics for navigating the world that aren't much different from that of a middle ages peasant

Nope. This is not on. Why is there always money for extremely expensive oversurveilance? Which, to boot has a long trackrecord of being *successfully* challenged by staff, so a wasted investment nobody should have signed off on. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/queen-m...

100% deductions for ASOS is inhumane and destructive. We thought we had the backing of our own national union on this point. To see them implement what is a draconian policy (and not yet fully tested in the courts) against the colleagues who keep our branches running is devastating.
