Studie der Ruhr-Universität Bochum: Bei Tempo 120 gäbe es ein Drittel weniger Verkehrstote Ein Tempolimit würde die Unfälle mit Schwerverletzten laut einer Studie um 26 Prozent senken, die Zahl der Verkehrstoten sogar um 35 Prozent. Die Einsparung von Krankheitskosten wäre enorm.

Ein DRITTEL weniger Verkehrstote durch Tempo120 auf Autobahnen 😮 Bahnbrechende neue Studie von Maike Metz-Peeters @ruhr-uni-bochum.de

➡️ Unfälle mit Schwerverletzten ↘️ 26%
➡️ Verkehrstote ↘️ 35%
➡️ Unfallkosten ↘️ 216 Mio. € jährlich
➡️ tatsächliche Effekte ggf. höher

Den Haag: Rechter Politiker Wilders kommt mit Verbotsantrag gegen Antifa durch Nach Donald Trump fordert auch der niederländische Politiker Geert Wilders ein Antifa-Verbot. Ein Antrag wurde im Parlament angenommen.

Gleich vorweg: Das ist nicht lustig und wird spätestens dann auch für Leute akut, die von Deutschland aus mit z.B. einem Anti-AfD-Shirt in die Niederlande reisen wollen. www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...

Das klang in der Grußrede bei der #EAAE2025 doch noch ganz anders 🙃

#EAAE2025 🚨: How large are European wheat yield gaps?
@moritzhartig.bsky.social will discuss our approach to estimate different yield gap levels, and will show insights into drivers.

We have 8 replication games over the next 13 weeks (Tilburg, Bordeaux, Brno, Galway, Berlin, Paris, Lyon and Ottawa)! Not too late to register to any of these events:

First up: two terms that often get mixed up 👇

🔁 Reproducibility = same data, same code
📦 Replicability = new data, same design

We unpacked these (and more) with help from Brodeur et al. (2024):

📣 1st Göttingen Replication Games together with the @i4replication.bsky.social and @rwi.bsky.social Essen
With 65 participants joining on-site and online, we worked on replicating over 15 studies. Huge thanks to everyone who took part — looking forward to reading all the replication reports!

Join us for the University of Göttingen Replication Games on April 7th! We are looking for researchers and graduate students; all social science fields. Teams will also have the opportunity to reproduce a study focusing on deforestation if they want. Register here: surveymonkey.ca/r/Replicatio...

Jetzt hat das kleine Saarland doch tatsächlich 2023 netto mehr Windenergie zugebaut als das große Bayern. 😅

Inefficiency can be defined as "productivity differences across homogeneous optimizing agents" or less technical as "A firm is inefficient if the maximum output is not attained given a certain input level".
How would you define (in)efficiency in non-economic terms? #EconSky 📉📈

Back in 2017 we organised our first Econ of AI conference and we invited Bob Solow. Here was his wonderful reply that I feel OK sharing with you all today.

Dear #EconSky 📉📈
I'm looking for multiple small datasets that could be analyzed with a simple regression setting for a 5th semester course in agribusiness. Focus should be on agricutural production etc. with a farm-level setting (worldwide)
Any suggestions or leads?
Went through agridat already :/

Yes, thank you, that looks perfect! Also a good fit for Applied Econ Persp & Pol

Yes, thank you!

#EconSky 📉📈 , I'm looking for papers, blog posts, and other resources that have the sole purpose of showcasing descriptive statistics of newly available datasets. Any recommendations?

Are you based in a low- or middle-income country & hold a PhD in Development Economics or similar?
Check out the Stephan Klasen fellowship at the University of Goettingen!

Lesen schadet niemandem- Gene auch nicht.

I was recently having a convo about publishing null results. I feel a paper like that should have 3 key elements:

1- ppl should reasonably expect there be an effect
2- estimate should be precise enough to rule out big effects
3- you're able to convince reader null effect is not an artifact

Hi #EconSky and #Agrisky! I am a PhD researcher at the IUSF Uni Osnabreuck (DE). I apply (choice) experimental methods to examine #agecon issues. My research topics deal with 1) farmers' preferences for agri-environment incentives and 2) the underlying behavioural facors shaping these preferences.

Hi #EconSky 📉📈, I'm a PhD researcher from the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (DE). I work at the intersection of agricultural and experimental economics. My research topics cover 1) farmer preferences for agri-environmental schemes and 2) sustainable food systems.

I can't stop staring at this figure. That jump is something I can't quite process.

Both played a vital role in sparking my interest in further pursuing econ in grad school + PhD now. Great Department you’ve got over there!

Topics in Public Policy and Money and Economic Activity with Ken Snowden and Econ of Technology with Al Link. A couple other classes as well but I don’t recall.
If I ever get the chance to come back, I definitely will.

I did a year abroad at UNCG back in 2018! Best time of my life at Tower Village 🙌

Sharing some stuff I did at work with the Ag #EconSky :
Farm Mapping Units (areas homogenous in farming conditions based on soil, altitude, slope, CORINE, LFA) ~15,000 for Germany for 2018. Size: from 1km2 to 700km2

Am I the only one pronouncing the "Sky" in #EconSky 📉📈 as the "ski" in "Lebowski" in my head 🤔
