🗳️ Voted in the ESPE Council election today. ESPE is honestly one of my favorite conferences. I can walk into any session and enjoy it, the research is always top-notch. If you are a member, don’t sleep on your vote. #ESPE2025 #PopulationEconomics

I already love the cover of the new Bright Eyes #EP. #Music

Was ein Tach!

I’ve got a new working paper with @danielavidart.bsky.social, hot off the press. We develop a new method for measuring the risk preferences of agents in the past, and apply it to the U.S. from 1890-1920. Check it out! Feedback is welcome. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/chcof...

I am happy to share that for some reason, Ebon Moss-Bachrach appeared in Berlin Stadtmitte and I made probably the most awkward impression as I was trying to comprehend this glitch in the matrix while wearing my bike helmet.

Announcing the #ASSA2026 Distinguished Lecturer, Leah Boustan of Yale University. She will be speaking on her work related to migration, assimilation, and economic opportunity.

Ich finde den Vergleich problematisch. Es geht hier um die Sicherheit von Millionen von Menschen und nicht die Durchsetzung irgendwelcher Einzelinteressen.

🎉 Our paper “Asylum Seekers and Host Country Mental Health” is accepted at JDE! Using data from Germany & Switzerland (2010–2016), we find no evidence that asylum inflows harmed host population mental health. With Bharadwaj, Khoury & Schmid #Migration #MentalHealth #Economics

Hi everyone, I am really looking forward to the #ESPE2025 in #Naples, Italy. Any recommendations for appropriate accommodations?

See this great post about something that could be a pilot by @leightjessica.bsky.social. LLM seems to be fairly accurate (within a margin I would be willing to accept) in judging the journal fit of working papers. #econsky #economics #research

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Just received an R&R from a very nice outlet for a paper which has a special spot in my heart since this happened with some of the nicest people I met. I will try to update asap.

This is old but priceless 🤣👇🏼

Alternative Text: Yes, exactly. Many government employees work to provide public goods that would not exists in a market. This includes security, education and research, even the infamous 4th of July fireworks. Not providing these public goods would be truly inefficient. Read your Mankiw, stupid!

We are at that stage right now in our project!

Wenn Friedrich Merz seine Ankündigung wahrmacht, kommt es heute im Deutschen Bundestag zum Tabubruch: einer Zusammenarbeit der CDU mit der AfD. Einer Partei, die in Teilen gesichert rechtsextrem ist. Es wäre ein historischer Fehler. Begehen Sie ihn nicht, Herr Merz!

Unsere Analyse zur Verschlechterung der psychischen Gesundheit jüngerer Menschen in der @taz.de.web.brid.gy.

Die @taz.de berichtet über die am Montag erschienene DIW-Analyse zur Entwicklung der psychischen Gesundheit der Menschen in Deutschland. Die komplette Analyse gibt's im DIW aktuell 99 von @dangraeber.bsky.social und @beckmannshook.bsky.social: www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....

So, seit einer Woche ist unser Warmwasserspeicher defekt. Zeit zu rekapitulieren: Kalt duschen nervt. So richtig. Ich bin auch überzeugt davon dass die Gesundheitsvorteile irrelevant sind. Ich fluche nur mehr beim Duschen. On the upside: Ich spare Zeit und mind. einen Kaffee am Morgen.

I you liked my opinion on Stata, you will also like opinions about vegetables: Pumpkins are completely overrated!

Hold my beer! Stata >>>>>> R

Super interesting conclusion. At least for Germany, this confirms my intuition. Workers that are able to install and implement the technologies will be in demand. In addition, we want to electrify more and more processes. Imagine what this implies for the electricy networks!

I just attended the annual meeting of the editorial board of the Review of Economic Studies. One message from the editors: REStud is interested in publishing the best work, no matter how short the articles are! If you have very good short papers, you might want to try REStud first.

Good advice in this thread. In this era of 50-100 pg papers, the 5-page intro is how most readers will interact with it. In that sense it’s like the equivalent of the shorter natural sciences papers: the entire message in a nutshell; the rest of the paper is the appendix for the technical details.

A few weeks ago, I spoke on a panel about publishing at the CSWEP’s CeMENT workshop. I wanted to briefly share some of that advice here.
