Für Ökonom Marius Brülhart ist klar: Vom Systemwechsel bei den Liegenschaftssteuern profitieren vor allem reiche Eigentümer:innen. Zudem erklärt er im Interview, wieso der Eigenmietwert eine gerechtfertigte Steuer ist.

Does gender diversity in peer groups benefit performance? I ran a 7-year field experiment with 3,000+ students to find out. Key findings: As gender diversity increases – Course grades in short & longer run ⬆️ – Dropout rates ⬇️ – Performance inequality in groups ⬇️ Details below🧵

A must-read open letter from Fields Medalists working in Switzerland. Cutting annual budgets for education and research is always a short-sighted mistake. Even a bigger mistake now when there is a unique opportunity to attract top global talent from the US. science-under-threat.com

Nächste Woche! Es hat noch Platz. See you there?

Als Teil seines "Entlastungspakets 27" will der Bund das Budget des SNF @snf-fns-ch.bsky.social um 10% kürzen. Wäre das wirklich klug, ausgerchnet in dem Moment, wo uns die US-Regierung das Feld freimacht im internationalen Wettbewerb um Top-Talente (👇)? 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Solaranlagen produzieren entgegen den Behauptungen auch im Winterhalbjahr ordentlich!

I'm organizing a "Data for Good Rapid Response Team", i.e. a set of people who can be mobilized to work on short data science projects to help various groups and organizations. Sign up here if this is of interest to you, and please share with others with data science skills.

Only 23 more days until Hate The Game is released. Did you pre-order yours yet? 📖✨

This is extremely concerning.

Well deserved promotion!Congrats, Dina 🤗 Since @dinapomeranz.bsky.social promotes causes rather than herself, I thought I’d jump in to spread the good news 🎉🎈

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

The Federal Reserve is not as independent from the executive branch as we’d like to think. The NY Fed just cancelled this Thursday’s @aeacswep.bsky.social reception at #EEA2025 and withdrew from our summer fellowship program. Both support women and underrepresented groups in economics. #EconSky

#EconSky Compare curr #disinflation to the Volcker disinflation. In the 1980s, it was all about moving along the Phillips curve to reduce #inflation (consistent with cooling down the economy via slack↑). Now, it looks like a shift ↓ of the Phillips curve (consistent with favorable supply shocks).
