Mordnacht in Eberswalde: Heute vor 35 Jahren ziehen Dutzende Neonazis durch Eberswalde. Sie randalieren, plündern, schikanieren und jagen Menschen – während die Polizei zusieht. Amadeu Antonio wird in dieser Nacht vom Nazi-Mob zu Tode geprügelt. Ein Tatverlauf 1/x

The revelations about Summers & Epstein reflect a profession that has tolerated exclusionary norms and hostility toward women for decades. The discipline cannot claim credibility while ignoring its own misogyny. We need to enforce codes of conduct and prioritize accountability.#Econsky

Why is Workplace Sexual Harassment Underreported? The Value of Outside Options Amid the Threat of Retaliation (Forthcoming Article) - Why is workplace sexual harassment chronically underreported? We hypothesize that employers coerce victims into silence through the threat of a retaliatory firing. To test this, we estimate how two external shocks which reduce workers’ outside options—unemployment rate increases and sharp cuts to unemployment insurance benefits—affect the selectivity of sexual harassment charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We find that both shocks increase selectivity, which implies an increase in underreporting. Bolstering these findings, anonymous Google searches for “sexual harassment in the workplace” (total prevalence) spike relative to charges filed (reported prevalence) during the Great Recession.

Just a few years ago the economics profession completely marginalized @claudia-sahm.bsky.social for speaking out on this matter.

While binging the Pitt, I explained my teenager that Clooney was on ER. His reaction kind of ruined my happy reunion with John Carter…

This is all just being said out loud now on the air on Fox “News”, instead of away from the cameras like before. That’s what’s changed. They’re testing the response and normalizing the idea at the same time.

Extending what is happening in the federal government into higher ed: faculty being purged because they are disfavored by the new regime

Let me say what the President won't: Domestic violence is not okay. It's immoral, illegal and abusive, and no real man is okay would do it, approve of it, or minimize it.

Ich dachte schon grundsätzliche Updates könnten Familienbild (Kinderbetreuung, Steuerpolitik, usw) betreffen. Aber da ist ja alles supi in Deutschland....

Meine Eltern sollten kommen. Vater schaut dann zufällig wenige Wochen vor der Reise nochmal in der App. Wir tauschen dann Tickets via storno und bezahlen am Ende viel weniger. Ich hab dann nachher auch nochmal für ne andre Reise geschaut. Da hætte ich auch eur gespart wenn ich spæter gekauft hætte?!

Noch krasser: ich buche Tickets früh weil billig und so und finde sie dann zum halben Preis wenige Wochen vor der Abreise. Selber Zug. Selbe Verbindung. 🤯

Putin is an authoritarian who won his last election with 87% of the vote and murdered his main political rival.

Bleibt Menschen

Holocaust-Überlebende Margot Friedländer ist tot Margot Friedländer ist tot. Wie ihre Stiftung mitteilte, starb die Holocaust-Überlebende am Freitag im Alter von 103 Jahren in ihrer Heimatstadt Berlin.

Mit großer Trauer nehme ich Abschied von Margot Friedländer. Mit Wärme, Empathie und großer Kraft erinnerte sie unermüdlich an die dunkelste Zeit unserer Geschichte. Ihr Vermächtnis bleibt: „Seid und bleibt Menschen.“ Diese Botschaft weiterzutragen, ist unsere Aufgabe. www.spiegel.de/panorama/mar...

🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵

"I'm going to govern in econometrics" is a winning campaign slogan for the ages.

"Women" were on the forbidden word list. The Women's Health Initiative helped us understand Hormone Replacement Therapy. We had this study because NIH had frequently *left women out* of their studies.

Exactly this. What is bringing global and generational shame on the United States at this moment is not the actions of one person, but the limp abdication by countless powerful Americans walking away from their duty to stop it.
