Very sad to hear that @iza.org is closing down at the end of the year. IZA is amazing in supporting and facilitating labor research and careers of (young) researchers. I still have fond memories of all the conferences and especially the summer school. My heart goes out to the people working there.

New WP out! We measure the insurance value of the Dutch tax&transfer system for various life events and find that across events and subgroups, the reduction in disposable income is remarkably consistent at around 10%, despite large differences in impacts on labor income. www.cpb.nl/sites/defaul...

Proud and happy to see our paper on the impacts of automation on workers in the current issue of REStat! direct.mit.edu/rest/article... Workers at automating firms (beyond robots!) on avg suffer a 5-yr cumulative wage loss of 9% of a year's earnings, mostly driven by non-employment margin.

Well, that ended poorly. The small Christian parties co-signed the far right assault on science and education for some crumbs in return. 🟥

Door nu in te stemmen, zijn deze bezuinigingen wel degelijk de plannen waar het CDA actief voor kiest. Letterlijk.

Good to see the opposition from left to right uniting against disastrous budget cuts on education by the far right government in NL. This could make it more difficult to pass the cuts in Dutch senate, where the gov has no majority. www.volkskrant.nl/politiek/opp...

I created an IZA @iza.org Network Fellows/Affiliates starterpack, starting from those I am following, and who are following me. I surely missed a lot. Please reply below this tweet and tag yourself and your fellow Fellows! #econsky #laboreconomics #econ go.bsky.app/5NP4VCb
