Econ research in 🇩🇪, 🇦🇹 and 🇨🇭 is thriving in recent years. I'll most certainly submit a paper to the open conference of the VfS, 13-16 Sep 2026 in Innsbruck, deadline March 1. You?

👇 This is how many academics (especially as referees) read papers. So it’s worth keeping in mind when writing research articles. The key is to earn the reader’s attention after the abstract and intro and make them want to go deeper.

I imagine myself as a future historian, trying to make sense of our time through the documents left behind by the supposed leader of the free world, voluntarily chosen by the people of the most powerful country on earth.

Americans can’t agree on anything these days — not even the fundamentals of civilization. Half the country thinks pineapple belongs on pizza. 😵‍💫

Glücklicherweise lässt sich dieses Verhalten von LLMs weitgehend abstellen, indem man entsprechende Instruktionen gibt. Folgende Systemanweisungen machen ChatGPT als nüchternes Werkzeug für mich deutlich nützlicher.

Next year, we will host the VfS Annual Meeting in Innsbruck. I look forward to seeing many of you on our beautiful campus in the Alps. #VfS_Conf2026

Faszinierend, wie sich die Namensvielfalt gesteigert hat - vor allem bei den Buben. 1984 (fast mein Geburtsjahr) hatten fast 50% der Buben einen Namen aus den Top-10. Heute machen die Top-10 nur mehr knapp 15% aus. Andreas war in den 80ern natürlich ganz vorne dabei 😄.

Over the past year, I received reimbursements from institutions in various EU countries. Similar small sums, wildly different levels of paperwork. Here’s my Euro-bureaucracy ranking (1 = most paperwork pain): 🥇 France 🥈 Germany 🥉 Austria 4️⃣ Spain 5️⃣ Luxembourg 6️⃣ Denmark

I have leftover funding for a PhD student for one year (ideally Sept '25 - Sept '26). Might be a good fit for someone wanting to delay going on the market. Please send interested students my way!

After being an editor for 6.5 years (4 REStud; 2.5 JEEA), I have accumulated a few suggestions that can help you avoid unnecessary rejections.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
