Warte auf den ersten Artikel, der den US-Angriff auf Venezuela als „rechtlich umstritten“ bezeichnet.

I am increasingly convinced the optimal number of laptops per child is 0 (or at least much lower than 1). From the latest Journal of Public Economics issue: doi.org/10.1016/j.jp...

📝 #EconSky I'm excited to announce that I am on the market this year! In my JMP, I (and Jose Montalban) study affirmative action in the context of school choice at age 3 —when skills are most malleable and returns are the highest! 👶🏫

Today is one of those days that I am disappointed in our profession. Reading a referee letter suggesting a rejection based on two points completely covered in the paper is disheartening. 5 years invested in an RCT to be rejected because of someone's inattention.

This.
A quote from the writer AR Moxon from 2017. He wrote:

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after.
Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?"

Merz said yesterday he will not allow the country to be led by a red-green minority. The red-greens have around 35%, while the CDU has~ 30%. If the CDU sees itself as the majority, that only makes sense if they’re counting the AfD. Merz now sees his party and those to its right as the true majority.

Shushan Margaryan @shushmargaryan.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
Merz and CDU seem to not have understood how multiple-party representative democracy works. If you can pass a certain proposal only with the votes of a non-democratic extremist party, this should signal to you that the whatever-proposal is not democratic. And the FDP goes along. This is a dark day.

Shushan Margaryan @shushmargaryan.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
I’m honestly puzzled as to why conservative parties ignore the ample research showing that when they adopt extremist positions, they fail to lure voters from those parties and instead normalize them. By proposing a hardline stance on migration, Merz is merely benefiting the AfD.

Heute geht es um die Abstimmung zur Verschärfung der Gesetze zur Migration. Im Diskurs der letzten Tage werden die Themen Migration und innere Sicherheit eng verknüpft. Der Zusammenhang zw. Migration und Kriminalität ist Gegenstand aktueller Forschung, die aber zu anderen Schlüssen kommt. (1/2)

Übrigens nicht nur in den USA: Die #noAfD stellt schon seit Jahren Anfragen zu Universitäten, z.B. wer denn so alles zum Thema "Gender" lehrt/forscht oder wie viel ausländische Studierende kosten. Auch in meinem persönlichen Umfeld habe ich davon gehört. dokumente.landtag.rlp.de/landtag/druc...

I feel seen in this AEJ issue! The paper "How Do You Say Your Name? Difficult-to-Pronounce Names and Labor Market Outcomes" shows that name difficulty is negatively related to the probability of landing an academic or tenure-track position.

If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me. Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.
