Looking forward to reading labor economists' papers in a few years on whether being cut off from ChatGPT increased or decreased productivity on 18 November 2025. #CloudflareOutage

Talk about critical infrastructure and overreliance on a single service provider. I can't access a host of websites, nor download academic articles, etc., because #Cloudflare has technical issues.

As I've heard the idea this week several times
@epssnet.bsky.social #epss2026:
There is no limit of being co-author only on two papers. No need to start strategically deleting names...

I am 99% certain that the rule of being allowed only two papers that you are a co-author of was still on the website at the beginning of the week. I did not catch the change in the 5th November reminder e-mail by @epssnet.bsky.social. So thanks for pointing it out, Daniel.

Zu diesen Debatten gehören auch immer jene, die sie weitertreiben, anspitzen und bewirtschaften. Vermutlich muss man neben der Politik auch mediale Akteure in Haftung nehmen, die an diesem Diskursgeklingel mehr Interesse haben als an sachbezogener Politik.

Die, die am häufigsten im Stadtbild unterwegs sind, stimmen am wenigsten zu. 🤷

¹ Ich benutze nicht den Begriff "Befreiung", den von Weizsäcker 1985 geprägt hat, weil die meisten Deutschen es damals nicht als Befreiung empfunden haben und zu viele es heute noch nicht tun. Von Weizsäcker meinte es gut, aber das ist ja bekanntlich nicht immer gut gemacht.

Man kann nicht des Endes des Zweiten Weltkrieges gedenken, der mit dem deutschen Angriff auf Polen begann, und dazu Vertreter eines Landes einladen, das ein Nachbarland angegriffen hat.

Insofern sind die Nachfahren:innen der Sowjetunion unter den aktuellen Umständen bei Gedenkveranstaltungen in Deutschland adäquat vertreten.

Es erscheint heute notwendig, daran zu erinnern, dass Deutschland nicht von den Alliierten und Russland besiegt¹ wurde, sondern von den Alliierten und der UdSSR. Etwa die Hälfte der Roten Armee kam aus den anderen Sowjetrepubliken, das größte Kontingent davon aus der Ukraine. #8mai

In line with our theory, we find that incumbents and high-profile party members are punished more by voters. They lose more votes compared to lower-ranking party members. 6/

We theorize that this collective accountability occurs because MPs are regarded as typical representatives of their party facilitating generalizations to the entire party brand. 5/

This is an important result as prior research on scandals and corruption focused mostly on repercussions on the implicated politicians. The fact that entire parties are punished electorally establishes an important second channel of accountability incentivizing parties to vet candidates carefully.4/

We estimate the effect of the scandal, a loss of 4 percentage points to the party, through a difference-in-differences design—by differentiating trends in pre-scandal postal and post-scandal urn voting. 3/

The German “mask affair” refers to a 2021 scandal in which individual MPs belonging to the CDU/CSU, profited personally from government deals to procure medical masks mid-pandemic. The scandal surfaced shortly before state elections in Baden-Württemberg (BW) and Rhineland-Palatinate (RP). 2/

New 📰: In "Can Individual MPs Damage Their Party’s Brand? Quasi-Experimental Evidence from a Public
Procurement Corruption Scandal" out in @thejop.bsky.social @lukrudolph.bsky.social and I show that the "mask affair" cost the CDU 4%-points in elections. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... 1/

Of course, some constituency results ended up different than expected but a citizen forecast also gives you pretty accurate expectations of which races will be close:
