A deep dive into the data: I downloaded the spreadsheet and it seems like occasionally there are made up names, at least in the men's epee fencing category... The correct names for men's epee 2017 in the 2nd pic, the fake names in the 1st. (both lists are identical for the top of the ranking...)

Hur mår svensk kultur i Oslo och är den i samklang med vår nya kanon? Jodå, redan innan kanoniseringen had jag inplanerat att tala om Kris i befolkningsfrågan för studenter och fira Pippis 80-årsdag på Svenska kyrkan. Däremot har det inte varit pappaledighet på flera veckor...

En gång i tiden var jag center-höger (och tom medlem i Folkpartiet en kort period kring Kaplan och Grå Vargarna, jag trodde på socialliberalism + tydligt avståndstagande från rasism var möjligt). Nu är det tydligt att det inte finns någon center-höger med nolltolerans för rasism kvar någonstans.

Heya #EconSky, has anyone read the recent @nber.org WP on "Uncertainty in Empirical" Econ by Shorfheide and You? Based on a quick look this morning - this is interesting! - I need more time to read it and someone to discuss it with 1/N

#EconSky📉📈 Big change in Norway’s public sector pensions: From Jan 2025, the contractual early retirement benefit (AFP) is no longer reduced if you keep working after age 62. Colleagues and I at the Frisch Centre have just published the first results from a pre-registered near–real-time evaluation👇

Fun fact: the University of Oslo's rector election ends on April 4th, as widely advertised. But it ends 8am (not widely advertised) on April 4th, so at least I will not be able to vote... @uio.no @unioslo-svfak.bsky.social

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Det är fantastiskt att se att BNP-jämförelser mellan länder och över tid har nått dagstidningsjournalistiken i kölvattnet av Bech Holtes bok. En del tidsserier är konstruerade för att jämföra länder vid en given tidpunkt, andra för att jämföra ett land över tid. www.dn.no/kommentar/no...
