Had a lovely time at UC Dublin! Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and the comments! Special thanks to my host @streckernm.bsky.social also for the fun and the great chat (48 hours away from my flooded apartment was also a plus 😅)

🤸‍♂️Our research center @rationalitycrc.bsky.social‬: fantastic because we have fantastic junior researchers. For #Econsky, I highlight our current Ass't Profs / postdocs. Worthwhile to check them out, e.g. as possible seminar speakers. Please see my reply – I list those on Bluesky. 🙏

Finishing the (conference) year in style 😎 thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to attend and to all speakers for terrific presentations! (The rest of Saturday spent admiring one of fav artists made the whole week to feel like a dream)

What a Monday morning: first VoxEu, grant accepted, endorphin levels still high from Princeton half marathon. Truth is, after a great Monday, an awful one is approaching 😂 In the meantime, here a recap of our paper on services export supply mode post-Brexit. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 cepr.org/voxeu/column...

With JM interviews approaching, I just want to remind to JMCs: 1. You will have a job at the end 2. Stay away from EJMR 3. The person you are has nothing to do with the number of interviews you have (do not ask the question /avoid peers asking this question) 1/2

Reviewing JM applications this weekend? Do not miss Luisa's one! Not only a great researcher but also an incredibly nice colleague, thoughtful and passionate (about diversity in particular). 👉 @lwallossek.bsky.social
