Extreme weather events can be costly for German farmers, in terms of yield losses and farm efficiency 💸 Here is our most recent publication: doi.org/10.1093/erae... by @moritzhartig.bsky.social, Silke Hüttel & @stefanseifert.bsky.social @agrarunigoe.bsky.social @crc1502-detect.bsky.social

Ein DRITTEL weniger Verkehrstote durch Tempo120 auf Autobahnen 😮 Bahnbrechende neue Studie von Maike Metz-Peeters @ruhr-uni-bochum.de ➡️ Unfälle mit Schwerverletzten ↘️ 26% ➡️ Verkehrstote ↘️ 35% ➡️ Unfallkosten ↘️ 216 Mio. € jährlich ➡️ tatsächliche Effekte ggf. höher www.tagesspiegel.de/wissen/studi...

Gleich vorweg: Das ist nicht lustig und wird spätestens dann auch für Leute akut, die von Deutschland aus mit z.B. einem Anti-AfD-Shirt in die Niederlande reisen wollen. www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...

#EAAE2025 🚨: How large are European wheat yield gaps? @moritzhartig.bsky.social will discuss our approach to estimate different yield gap levels, and will show insights into drivers. Join us on Tuesday, August 26, at 2:00 pm 👉 Poster screen 1

We have 8 replication games over the next 13 weeks (Tilburg, Bordeaux, Brno, Galway, Berlin, Paris, Lyon and Ottawa)! Not too late to register to any of these events: i4replication.org/games.html

First up: two terms that often get mixed up 👇 🔁 Reproducibility = same data, same code 📦 Replicability = new data, same design We unpacked these (and more) with help from Brodeur et al. (2024): 📖 www.iza.org/publications... 🔥 Pro tip: join a #Replication Game via @i4replication.bsky.social

🌾🎓 Masterarbeit an der @agrarunigoe.bsky.social gesucht? Untersuche die neue Förderung von Wetterversicherungen in Niedersachsen für eine klimafitte Landwirtschaft! 🌦️📊 Start ab sofort, Daten & Kontakte vom Thünen-Institut inklusive. Interesse? #Agrarökonomie

📣 1st Göttingen Replication Games together with the @i4replication.bsky.social and @rwi.bsky.social Essen With 65 participants joining on-site and online, we worked on replicating over 15 studies. Huge thanks to everyone who took part — looking forward to reading all the replication reports!

Join us for the University of Göttingen Replication Games on April 7th! We are looking for researchers and graduate students; all social science fields. Teams will also have the opportunity to reproduce a study focusing on deforestation if they want. Register here: surveymonkey.ca/r/Replicatio...

Jetzt hat das kleine Saarland doch tatsächlich 2023 netto mehr Windenergie zugebaut als das große Bayern. 😅

Inefficiency can be defined as "productivity differences across homogeneous optimizing agents" or less technical as "A firm is inefficient if the maximum output is not attained given a certain input level". How would you define (in)efficiency in non-economic terms? #EconSky 📉📈

Back in 2017 we organised our first Econ of AI conference and we invited Bob Solow. Here was his wonderful reply that I feel OK sharing with you all today.

Dear #EconSky 📉📈 I'm looking for multiple small datasets that could be analyzed with a simple regression setting for a 5th semester course in agribusiness. Focus should be on agricutural production etc. with a farm-level setting (worldwide) Any suggestions or leads? Went through agridat already :/

#EconSky 📉📈 , I'm looking for papers, blog posts, and other resources that have the sole purpose of showcasing descriptive statistics of newly available datasets. Any recommendations?

Lesen schadet niemandem- Gene auch nicht.

I was recently having a convo about publishing null results. I feel a paper like that should have 3 key elements: 1- ppl should reasonably expect there be an effect 2- estimate should be precise enough to rule out big effects 3- you're able to convince reader null effect is not an artifact

Hi #EconSky and #Agrisky! I am a PhD researcher at the IUSF Uni Osnabreuck (DE). I apply (choice) experimental methods to examine #agecon issues. My research topics deal with 1) farmers' preferences for agri-environment incentives and 2) the underlying behavioural facors shaping these preferences.

Hi #EconSky 📉📈, I'm a PhD researcher from the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (DE). I work at the intersection of agricultural and experimental economics. My research topics cover 1) farmer preferences for agri-environmental schemes and 2) sustainable food systems.

I can't stop staring at this figure. That jump is something I can't quite process.

Sharing some stuff I did at work with the Ag #EconSky : Farm Mapping Units (areas homogenous in farming conditions based on soil, altitude, slope, CORINE, LFA) ~15,000 for Germany for 2018. Size: from 1km2 to 700km2

Am I the only one pronouncing the "Sky" in #EconSky 📉📈 as the "ski" in "Lebowski" in my head 🤔

Hi #EconSky I’m a second year PhD student at the University of Göttingen working on ag econ. Focus mainly on spatial downscaling of farm data, bayesian stats, and efficiency and productivity analysis using SFA 🙌
