Time for a new challenge. 🚀 After many rewarding years in economics, I’ve decided to take a new direction. As of today, I serve as Head of Division (Referatsleiter) at the State Chancellery of North Rhine-Westphalia, the executive office of the Prime Minister of Germany’s largest federal state.

Yet, I am still extremely sad about IZA's main assets - the institute itself, its postdoc program, it's Berlin and Bonn campus, the guest program and the workshop series - being cancelled. It remains a big loss.

I am super happy about the IZA network and DP series having found a new home at @liser.lu . Having visited in the past, I think LISER is the kind of place IZA could (and should ) have been. I wish them all the best!

Oft wird behauptet, Umweltschutzvorschriften seien eine wirtschaftliche Belastung. Matthew Neidell und @npestel83.bsky.social zeigen im #PaperderWoche aber, dass solche Regulierungen die Produktivität sogar erhöhen. 1/

Grundsicherung, aber wie? Ein neues Experiment belebt den Traum vom bedingungslosen Grundeinkommen. Doch es führt in die Irre, stattdessen braucht Deutschland endlich eine bedarfsorientierte Grundsicherung, die Arbeit nicht bestraft. Eine Anleitung zur Reparatur zeitung.faz.net/faz/wirtscha...

We just released our paper using a field experiment to reveal indoor air pollution (IAP) in London: It’s worse than you think! 🧵with six main results👇 With @sjroth.bsky.social.

I have spent more than 13 years of my career at @iza.org Bonn. I was able to climb the in-house career ladder quite a bit: I started as an intern, was then hired as a student helper, and offered an IZA PhD scholarship. Eventually, I became a Senior Research Associate and Team Leader. (1/4)

Nice summary of our new @iza.org DP where we document how exposure to air pollution reduces reservation wages reported by unemployed job seekers 👇🏭📉

My fantastic former colleague @czimpelmann.bsky.social is on the #EconJobMarket! Please have a close look at his profile and especially his super interesting JMP on the importance of gender role attitudes on female labor supply after childbirth. Thread below👇🧵
