We started a project with Marcus and Anton Nakov a few months ago, and have had some extremely thought-stimulating calls.
Perhaps the most vivid memory is from a call on Dec 24th, when after an almost 3-h brainstorm we got the code to run. We called it a Christmas miracle!
RIP Marcus
Very sad news...the days that Marcus brought German intensity (and commentary) to the foosball table in McNeil seem only yesterday. My thoughts are with his family & friends. Rest in peace, Marcus.
With great sadness, I announce the passing of my co-author and friend, Marcus Hagedorn. His acerbic wit was as sharp as the vision of Toni Kroos. He attacked big research questions like he tackled the mountains of Mallorca on his bike. He will be missed.

Come work with me on a cool project using administrative data! Position can be remote, but needs to be in the EU for data access reasons. Mostly working with Swedish data, so knowledge of a Scandinavian language is strongly preferred.

Happy 100th Republic Day to Turkey 🇹🇷
I was there for the 90th ten years ago. The fireworks over the Bosphorus were probably the most spectacular I’ve ever seen. Probably even better tonight for the 100th!
