To honour the memory of Ghazala Azmat, the Department of Economics of SciencesPo is creating an award in her name. Ghazala made important contributions in a large number of fields, spanning the economics of discrimination, gender, education and organizational economics. The award will promote work in those fields by young scholars. The first edition of this award will consist of a 5,000 euro prize for the best paper in this set of fields by junior researchers. The selection of the laureate will be carried out by a scientific committee composed of Pierre Cahuc, Alan Manning and Barbara Petrongolo. Eligibility for the prize requires that all authors have obtained their PhD after 1 September 2018. Papers written jointly with more senior researchers will not be considered. The prize will be awarded at SciencesPo during the event organised in memory of Ghazala on 10 December 2025. One of the authors of the prize winning paper will present the work at this event. Applications must be submitted by 31 August 2025.

Starting next week I finally get to wake up in your beautiful land for many days, and I simply *cannot*wait*

I'm on Cambridge's 87 bus right now, heading to the Royal Sonesta to hear some great Economics of Education talks as part of the #NBER Summer Institute.

I'll try to live post as many as possible, so watch this thread!

We each find our way through these times

As an academic, I am doing this:

Uplift those whose research you admire. Diversify the academy.

Many ways to do this:

-Nominate for awards (did 2 yesterday)
-If you are in an academy, nominate to it (did 3 this month)
-cite them in a paper and/or talk

Stop wishing for the singularity

Amazing opportunity to work in an excellent place, and Sandra McNally is fantastic. Apply!!!!

Great thread by Nikki, our head of quantitative social science, about her fascinating work on overconfidence

Writing this paper with John Jerrim and Phil Parker got me started on a whole journey about gender differences in over-/underconfidence.

Lucy Bronze on how she decided to blast her penalty down the middle (and score).

“Statistically it’s risky for the goal keeper to stand still… so yeah, I love maths”.

There is no excuse for making bad graphs! Look at this incredible thread!

I feel seen

This is Cupcake. She overheard you describe something as having more rolls than a bakery. Thinks you better be talking about culinary school. 12/10

Lol

😂 I'm in charge of pairings so there's even a twist

My rocket scientist husband is the (amazing, truly outstanding) cook and I'm the baker. But ya know, we're N=2 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is Fani Quita. She is trying to get rid of her hiccups with puppy eyes. We cannot fathom how this isn't working. 12/10

Amazing!! See you then!

Aw thanks so much @jankabatek.com!! I'm in Melbourne in August (11th), would love to grab coffee if you're around! :)

The CN Tower in Toronto between tall condo buildings

Last day of #SOLE in Toronto. I love my home town so much. It's such a wonderful city. Top 5 in the world for me. Food, people, vibe, liveable ❤️ already miss it! (also SOLE was awesome and labour economists are such great folks!)

Oh it is. It just eventually passes (also, throw money at a Snoo). Força, power on 💪🏻sending some love.

The fact that a few months later your brain completely erases this feeling and gaslights you into thinking you miss that is how humanity keeps going. It's wild.

Lol same, except I did follow two tumblrs during gr as s school: Daron Acemoglu facts and Rowing Sounds Fun

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️

Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home.
