Als Teil seines "Entlastungspakets 27" will der Bund das Budget des SNF @snf-fns-ch.bsky.social um 10% kürzen. Wäre das wirklich klug, ausgerchnet in dem Moment, wo uns die US-Regierung das Feld freimacht im internationalen Wettbewerb um Top-Talente (👇)? 1/2 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Couldn't agree more - I highly recommend this. Entire strands of research could probably be spun from this talk alone, by employing these methods to different questions... and perhaps one of the best talks I've ever seen that break down a complex topic to a wide audience, while being crystal clear.

Only had a brief look at this work just now, but it looks fascinating! Will read in more detail. Congrats to the team! 🥳

That’s 100% my experience with younger cohorts. I first noticed this when I was TAing a class in which we used R, and students were not aware what a path to a folder was… nobody ever taught them.

Do we do threads🧵on #EconSky? I recently gave a talk on competition policy and startup acquisitions. Here are the main points: 1/ Since ~2001, acquisitions have overtaken IPOs as the primary "exit" for VC-backed startups. This shift impacts how competition plays out.

"Our main finding is that UPK is one of the most cost-effective active labor market policies ever evaluated in the US." - hopefully, also governments beyond the US take note.

On Tuesday, 36 US ports will be shut down by the largest shipping strike in living memory. This could recreate the chaotic supply chain crisis of 2021-2022. Are we ready? a 🧵 on the new economics of supply chains 1/

No one mechanism dominates across all industries. Caveats, caveats. But if there is a theme, it is that the first order changes we observe, measured in decades, have predominately been due to technological change. And this is for industries that one might not associate with innovation. 7/N

❄ Winter is coming and natural gas consumption will increase! After Russia reduced drastically its supplies to Europe, savings are central to avoid a gas-shortage in Germany. So, how much did we save last year and where are we now? All figures from openenergytracker.org/en/docs/germ... A 🧵 1/n
