Donate for Ukraine - Winter and Power - AI for Good Foundation Winter is the most challenging time in Ukraine: Russian attacks damage power supply, leaving vulnerable populations in the dark, cold and vulnerable.

❄️Russia targets the Ukrainian power grid during the winter, leaving civilians without heating amid freezing temperatures.

Each winter, Econ4UA and the AI for Good Foundation run winter shelters, send blankets and powerbanks, and provide other humanitarian aid in Ukrainian cities.

I am excited to spend this Fall in London at UCL/@sriucl.bsky.social. I already had the chance to provide first insights into Captured by Conflict.

I love this place! They have a monthly coffee RCT, randomly pairing people up for chats. Worse places to be for a coffee loving experimentalist.

It's almost like waging a trade war against the entire world is difficult without shooting yourself in the foot.

Good call waiting for April 2nd to announce your new global tariff schedule. I had to double check the date.

TLDR: Conditional on feedback, tournament reentry behavior of expert men and women is similar. I use 2 years of chess tournaments with 3,508 expert players to look at gender differences to compete in the field.

What chess teach economists? And why is this economics?

My Chessable guest blog, featuring a small teaser for my single-author project on gender differences in competitive behavior, is now live! 🧠♟️

Some news: I have joined the Board of Reviewing Editors (BoRE) at Science. Part of the remit is to encourage more high-quality economics submissions. So here’s a long-ish thread on why, what, and how you should submit to Science, as well as some details on the editorial process 1/n

Quick @Stata tip: you can add opacity to your graph by adding "%X" after the color, where 0≤X≤100:

sysuse sp500, clear
replace high = high+80
twoway (hist high, width(20) color(blue%50)) (hist low, width(20) color(red%50)), scheme(s1mono) legend(order(1 "Blue" 2 "Red"))

Still undecided what sessions to attend tomorrow at #VfS150?
Allow me to make a recommendation for your 15:30-17:30 slot: Our session on gender equality.
We've got a range of topics surrounding gender and amazing presenters!
You don't want to miss it

Super grateful to have been able to present my paper "Chess, Gender, and Tournament Dynamics" at the EALE2023 and get some top notch feedback.

If you missed the insanity of 200,000 chess games, I'll also be presenting at the VfS and you should definitely swing by!
