New working paper With Torben Johansen and @ChristianVedel It's on a methodological issue that we think is crucial for the discipline of economic history: Whenever we use machine learning tools in our workflow, they can introduce structural bias. So, what should we do?

Machine Learning is causing massive leaps everywhere. Also in Economic History. There is a conversation we need to have. What ought to be the new scientific standards? Together with two coauthors . Our argument: We should maybe care a bit less about accuracy 📝🧵

New working paper 🚨🚨🚨 What was the origin of modern economic growth? Joel Mokyr had a Nobel winning answer - growth took off when science and technology began to reinforce each other But can we test this quantitatively? This paper does so – read more ⬇️ 🧵

Ping: #dkmedier #dkøko: På SDU har vi en adjunkt, der forsker præcis i Joel Morkyr's ideer - ham der lige har vundet nobelpris i Økonomi. Taler broget dansk, men er en glimrende formidler på Engelsk: @juliuskoschnick.bsky.social

Wonder what has been happening with this for the past year? In August I gave this presentation at the Data Intensive Research Conference at IPUMS. In brief, OccCANINE is now better and more robust. For now, check the video: youtu.be/pwq1E6087vE?...

What a pleasure to chair a fantastic session on advanced methods at the WEHC in Lund with @cedricchambru.bsky.social — and to learn about fancy work in NLP, census linking, and more!

Did you eat butter this Easter? Was it Lurpak? 🧈 New publication in Business History. It naturally leads to a little reflection I would like to share with you. And it also leads to a small corner of economic history that needs reinterpretation🧵

My brilliant colleague's paper is finally available in working paper form. It is an important piece of the puzzle in understanding the intellectual origin our modern world. Julius essentially measures the 17th century scientific revolution using modern NLP tools. Absolutely fascinating!

Thursday and Friday was the 14th annual workshop on Growth, History and Development. But this year was different. This year marks the 150 year anniversary of women's access to university in Denmark. And what an obvious theme for a workshop on economic history. (1/x) @sdueconhist.bsky.social

Who will be the first to write the history of that short-lived period that began in 1989 and ended in 2025? So much hope and opportunity, so much short-sighted and incompetent leadership on all sides, and such an ugly, tragic ending.

Have other university ITs become just as overzealous or are we blessed with a particularly impossible setup? in recent years, under the disguise of cybersecurity, we have gradually lost all authority over our work computers (e.g., what software to access) & now everything is subject to bureaucracy.

This platform has grown explosively since the election, but growth has slowed down the past few days. Should we be concerned? No. A temporary plateau was inevitable given the heterogeneity of social media users. From my point of view Bluesky is already over the hump 1/

Tweeting is the generic term for posts on twitter-like platforms. You can tweet on Threads, Mastodon, X and BlueSky - and a number of other platforms yet to be invented. Currently my favorite Twitter is BlueSky.
