Universität Heidelberg Defends its Status as a University of Excellence – Rector Frauke Melchior: “A fantastic joint effort led to success” www.uni-heidelberg.de/en/newsroom/...
Thanks for the initiative! The AWI Lab in Heidelberg will support this.
Das wäre wie, wenn meine Autowerkstatt 100€ für die Reparatur will und ich es selbst für 5€ machen kann. Dann ist die Differenz auch keine Subvention.
"Der private Wert von Solarstrom beträgt also 30 Cent pro KWh. Der volkswirtschaftlich wahre Wert des Stroms bemisst sich dagegen am Marktwert, also dem Wert des Solarstroms an der Börse. Dieser beträgt aktuell weniger als 5C pro KWh. Die Differenz von 25C pro KWh sind versteckte Subventionen."
Vielen Dank für den Link. Aber da Hirth nutzt eine ziemlich ungewöhnliche Definition von Subventionen.
“Maybe, I would have been treated better if I had cited some of the editor in chief’s papers,” Bimonte, of the University of Siena, wrote in boldface in the email, which we have seen. Two days later, an unhappy editor at the journal quit, Retraction Watch has learned.
Bots have made their way to Prolific experiments. Our lab has stopped online testing of adults entirely now for this reason - we want to know if what we study is real. Probably data collected 2-3 years ago are ok, but moving forward we just can't know. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Many small delays that add up. But we can improve: here is an example from Magdeburg where they are completely transparent about the timing of all steps.

Fucking love this guy.
This is such a strong comment, published in 2022. It has 14 Google Scholar citations. The replicated paper has 65 citations in 2025 alone - and counting. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...
I'm super excited for my new paper with Alex Tabarrok
and Mark Whitmeyer.
tl;dr: price controls cause chaos. That chaos causes misallocation. We develop new tools to measure that misallocation, which is 1-9 the size of the Harberger triangle www.economicforces.xyz/p/price-cont...
A few years ago, I was on a commission here in the Max Planck Society that tried to motivate the society to stop wasting millions of Euros on Microsoft licenses for bad calendar and email software. That and Elsevier subscriptions are just wasteful use of public funds imo. >
Not sure but wouldn't these price controls protect (uninformed) consumers in many cases?
The Bundeskartellamt decided yesterday that Amazon cannot remove prices of third party sellers on their platform if these prices - check notes - are too high.

Also Wiley: "Prove that your article is a good fit for this journal 😉😉😉😉😉 by citing at least two of our articles in your manuscript before we will even consider reviewing it" 🤡
Haha, I thought exactly the same when seeing this paper. It's a 1 in 6 chance, though.
Statement from Bill Clinton
And for payments between consumers we have the same problem as with messenger apps. Multi-homing is possible but inconvenient.
Given that Wero has much lower fees, it should be a dominant strategy for dealers to offer is as an additional payment option. However, for consumers who do not benefit from the lower fees it is all about convenience. I switched from PayPal to ApplePay because it requires two clicks less.
Platform competition (e.g. Rochet/Tirole, 2003, JEEA)
Commitments for public goods provision (e.g. Bagnoli/Lipman, 1989, RES, Oechssler et al, 2022, JET)
Ethical consumers (e.g. Hainmueller et al, 2015, REStat, Kaufmann et al, 2024, QJE)
But I'm not aware of a study of their combination.
Tried to read the Handelsblatt article, hit a paywall, and guess what...

The United States Constitution protects all people in the United States, Conservative and Liberal. Its suspension will eventually harm all people, Conservative and Liberal.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
