Was denken wir über die Oktoberfest-Pizzen von Aldi? Es gibt auch noch eine Obazda Version, aber ich vermute die Weißwurst Version ist kontroverser.

I show the graph in my lecture and ask: Is your grandma/pa really fitter than you, due to their meds? In a few minutes it is obvs. to students that there is stronger selection into smart devices by age. Bonus: You can teach how a better descriptive (bubble graph) would have likely shown that.

I always find it fascinating who holds the debt: www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etud... I mean Caymans + Luxemburg hold 9% 🤯

Some delayed impressions from day 2. Lots of exciting research before @marcounipd.bsky.social gave an equally exciting second keynote. Finally, Alden Cheng won the best paper prize for an outstanding paper. @peibich.bsky.social, @univdauphine.bsky.social and Paris were excellent hosts.

10/10 recommendation to visit @unibo.it if you're an economist and also otherwise. @davidedragone.bsky.social is an excellent host and seeing @pietrobiroli.bsky.social and his work is also always nice. Oh yeah, the food and culture is also alright 😉

It's been a while, but thanks. You get a medal and free beer (really). To be honest everything until 30k was fine. The problems start beyond 30k. Marathon training is really just 3-4 runs a week following a plan. So that was really the plan for me.

Bad news: additional capacity goes to patients who look remarkably similar to those already receiving care. Hence, outcomes are nonreactive. Thus, expanding the workforce doesn't inevitably reach those with the greatest need. 7/n

Good news: higher supply increases treatment uptake by about 10%, resulting in more guideline-consistent treatment of mental illness. Waiting times and commuting costs reduce modestly. 6/n

Even more concerning, patients with the highest risk of readmission faced the longest wait times and lowest treatment rates. 3/n

This may be due to provider shortages. We study this using German insurance data on patients hospitalized due to mental illness in 2017. Despite guidelines recommending psychotherapy for all these patients, only 26% received it within a year. 2/n

Curious, why is this not discussed more? European countries hold a large share of US debt, get Japan in the boat and it is a majority. The lever is huge. Plus, at least for Germany the reverse is not true. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_debt_of_the_United_States ticdata.treasury.gov/resource-cen...

Dann empfehle ich dieses Buch, da werden Experimente mit Selbstverletzung vorgeschlagen: Wieso tut Haare schneiden nicht weh? Knick ein Haar um? Tut es weh? Jetzt reis dir ein Haar aus dem Kopf? Tut es weh? Hier ist die Erklärung. Ich würde sagen da haben Psychologen und STEMler ihren "Spaß". 😉

27°C, sunshine and a roof top bar with a view over Cville is a nice way to kick this workshop off* *no public/third party money was spent on this part.
