Mikkel Aagaard Houmark @mikkelhoumark.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Very happy to be a member of the CESifo network. I had a great time participating in the Area Conference on Economics of Education last month and presenting my work (w/ Mathias Mørk) on the estimation of teacher value-added. Working paper coming soon (hopefully)! 030
