Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 21/09/2026This is a positive way to frame the election results. I am afraid that Die Linke winning will further embolden/energize the far right. 010
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Personal and profoundly insightful perspective on the conflict in the Middle East 000
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Not true. I was an international student and my PhD was fully funded once I was accepted, plus a stipend. I do not know any student in economics at a half-decent school who pays for their PhD irrespective of country of origin. 111
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Depends on the field. In economics and business at good schools, PhDs are fully funded with no teaching duties. I'm not disputing their long-term value, but short term they cost more than they bring in. Even where PhD students teach, an adjunct is cheaper than a grad student. 110
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 17/07/2026I wasn’t aware that PhD students paid tuition. 330
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Congratulations! Looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks at Holger & Carolyne’s 010

Here's a proposal for how to fix that (and help with the reproducibility crisis at the same time!): paulgp.com/2026/03/10/l...paulgp.comLLM-Friendly Academic Papers: A Proposal 97721
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I’m so sorry about the outcome and admire your tenacity and openness to share. One thing I wonder though - why should tenure promotion cases be different than promotions in companies? In a company it’s all about whether people like you or not (unless you are an outlier in terms of performance) 110
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Apparently it’s good though to have had prior experience with psychedelics as it can also be frightening for some (I was considering it for my mom when she was on her death bed). Hoping that there will be more research showing how to implement. 010
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Interesting - my take was that an academic journal what matters is the quality of your research whereas, say, if you are an expert witness, the title would carry more weight. I guess we are all different :-) 000
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 25/10/2025Unless it’s a restaurant that emphasizes local, in-season ingredients. Changes are natural then 000
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Na ja, so schlimm ist es Gott sei Dank (noch) nicht. Unklar, dass Europa viel besser ist oder einfach nur paar Jahre hinterher. 000
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 07/04/2025I don’t think you need to qualify moron with economic 000

Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 09/02/2025I don’t care about organic, I care about produce that looks appealing. And I mostly care about price. Acme is more expensive than Whole Foods. 000
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 09/02/2025If you don’t have a car and wholefoods happens to be the only store within walking distance (other than Acme, which has worse quality AND higher prices), you go there. 100
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Here’s hoping there will be future history books 000
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 05/02/2025I’m really hoping that this poll was flawed (design of charts does not inspire confidence in the level of professionalism so 🤞🏻the numbers are wrong) 020
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Thank you, quite insightful! Maybe I’ll catch you over coffee to hear more. Am headed to Israel in March 020
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Hab ich jetzt gelesen und stimme voll zu. Was für strukturelle Reformen wären da möglich, um fairen Wettbewerb sicherzustellen und somit die Machtkonzentration verhindern? Die Firmen aufbrechen? 100
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Kann den Artikel nicht lesen, da paywall. Was ist die Alternative? Konsumenten mögen nun mal one-stop Shops, und soziale Netzwerke sind einfach besser, wenn sie größer sind. 100
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 02/01/2025You usually can find a much cheaper flight though, even relatively last-minute. 000
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 01/01/2025It’s an empirical question but my impression is that it’s almost impossible to stay in office if you don’t play the game and the game of politics is dirtier than that in business or academia (though lately am on the fence about the latter too) 010
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Sadly, very few people have Carter’s moral fortitude. It’s a particularly rare trait among politicians. 110
Michaela Draganska @nemipuka.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I have been asking myself this question for a while. Focusing on the few idealists among the students who are there to learn. 110
