Extremely sad to learn that former @eale-office.bsky.social president Bertil Holmlund has passed away. Bertil was the founder of the strong Uppsala labor environment. Working with him was a true learning experience. Kind, funny, smart, and unbelievably efficient. He will be deeply missed.

#GDRI_rep Update 1: I4R are now reproducing all published papers that use data from GDRI, or are closely related in other ways. Here is a first update on our work. 🧵

Devastating news that @iza.org is effectively closing down 😔 It was (or at the moment, is) a wonderful institute and the network was tremendously helpful in dissaminating work in labour economics. IZA will sorely be missed 😢 So sorry for all IZA employees!
