Very excited to be traveling to @insead.bsky.social today for the 2026 SIOE Conference. While looking forward to the academic exchanges, I look with concern at the wildfires in the area that destroy nature and threaten people's livelihoods. Grateful to everyone who put their lives at risk.

"We're shocked... Absolutely shocked... That you're actually doing the thing we asked you to do..." (While CDA wasn't in the government, they were part of this political consensus meandering through the Hague that Dutch education had some unspecified benefits)

First they threaten the University to switch all undergraduate programs to Dutch. And when universities appease by abandoning some English language programs they do a 180... Turncoats... I have no other words...

Finally, you get to live in the Netherlands! I recently said to a friend: The Netherlands ruins other countries for you. Because if you've been here once, you'll never want to be anywhere else. Speaking Dutch in daily life is not necessary as everyone speaks English very well. Join us!

🚨🚨 Job alert 🚨🚨 Postdoc in Economic History at Tilburg University Come work with me as a postdoc in the beautiful Netherlands. The position is for 3 years, with very low teaching, and you'll have plenty of time to develop your own research agenda. econjobmarket.org/positions/12...

I had great fun presenting some recent work with @rghidoni.bsky.social here at @tudresden.bsky.social! Amazing room filled with amazing people and great feedback!

David Schindler @david-schindler.de · 29/10/2025

It's Election Day and polling stations are set up on campus. I hope that sanity prevails this time in this insane world and the Netherlands gets a government the country deserves: one that invests in education and innovation.

I don't have a picture of me explaining interviews, flyouts and offers, but here is the team from the ECB informing candidates about job opportunities in central banking.

Ik vraag me af waroom deze twee headlines zo dicht bij elkaar staan...

000

David Schindler @david-schindler.de · 24/05/2025

"... in a country with virtually no limits on individual rights to purchase firearms." This omitted part of the sentence is crucial if one wants to be able to think about policy implications.

Nothing screams "proximity to France" like an airport sign telling you that you can't have foie gras in your carry on...

Super excited to be in Luxembourg today to present recent work with @simeonschudy.bsky.social @pedroreybiel.bsky.social and other fantastic folks to the amazing crowd of people at @liser.lu!

While France is trying to protect their interests, Ireland is just living up to the stereotype...

We then show that the positive effects arise from compliers that actually choose a leader, and that leaders influence team organization as it seems to increase decentralized information acquisition and problem solving.

David Schindler @david-schindler.de · 12/02/2025

We find that the treatment is equally effective when stressing a leader's role as a motivator or as a coordinator. Either intervention improves team performance.

David Schindler @david-schindler.de · 12/02/2025

We find a substantial positive effect of Leadership on team performance: The share of teams completing the task within 60 min increases from 44 to 63%, and a team’s average remaining time increases by about 75% (from 3m10s in Control to 5m29s in Leadership).

The fact that enough Dutch people voted for this man to become the senior coalition partner in the Dutch government is the best evidence for a widespread failure of the Dutch education system.

Oh yes, the great Dutch Cuisine...

I think it's super ironic that it's George Borjas, of all people, to write a paper about ideological bias in immigration research...

First snow of the year! Excited to be back!

The Marriott Marquis is setting new standards in terms of bathroom stall privacy. I can't wait for the next trend: glass doors.

The leader of the largest party (and part of the government coalition) in NL tweets about the terrorist attack in Magdeburg as if it was perpetrated by Islamic terrorists, instead of one of his supporters: x.com/Lowkey0nline...

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about...

David Schindler @david-schindler.de · 11/12/2024

Joined the protests on campus today. The government is making a terrible mistake if these cuts go ahead. The effects will be felt across Dutch society. We ask them not to go ahead with these insane plans!

David Schindler @david-schindler.de · 29/11/2024

The state of Twitter in one picture...

David Schindler @david-schindler.de · 25/11/2024

In the Hague to protest the outrageous cuts to higher education that the new government wants to implement. If this goes through, Dutch Academia will suffer irreparable damage. We ask politicians to think about the future of the whole country and overthink their plans!
