Our special issue for the EER in memory of Nora blooms.

We have now thirteen published papers and I cherish how the authors span the entire range from superstars to young talents.

You can explore them here: www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

More exciting contributions are on the way.

Curious to hear if others see this tension in their fields too.

Journals want AI input flagged. But no one is forced to flag help from colleagues or hidden labor in RA factories — restrictions on AI risk entrenching privilege instead of correcting it.

Wir gratulieren WZB-Fellow Jan Stöß zur Ernennung als Staatsekretär des Verteidigungsministeriums!

Hier lest ihr sein Gespräch mit WZB-Forschungsprofessor @steffenhuck.bsky.social zum „Preis der Sicherheit“ aus den WZB-Mitteilungen von September 2023👇

Isn’t it beautiful how the left now hopes that markets will save democracy?

A pat on the back of Editors, Associate Editors, Referees, Administration, ... of the Economic Journal @resmedia.bsky.social

I have a postdoc position in Behavioral/Experimental Economics available for 6 years, at the oldest university in Germany in beautiful Heidelberg. Please forward to anyone who might be interested!

Tod und Terror im Nahen Osten: Schweigen ist nicht neutral Die Bundesrepublik unterstützt den Staat Israel im Gazakrieg. Dabei missachtet sie internationales Völkerrecht und unterdrückt Kritik.

Ein Text von @michaelbarenboim.bsky.social, @hannakienzler.bsky.social und mir.

Wir argumentieren, dass die verstärkte Übernahme rechter Politik durch die Parteien der sogenannten Mitte eng mit Deutschlands Unterstützung von Israels Völkerrechtsverbrechen zusammenhängt.

Such a clever mechanism for such a good cause!

The AI race will not be won by the cheapest second-best.

The paper had a rough ride. I never quite understood why. It shows how stochastic incentives outperform deterministic pay.

Today my paper with Nora and Lukas Wenner, ‚More effort with less pay’ got accepted - a dozen years after its inception - very emotional moment. I remember so vividly when we were plotting in Berlin.

The portal for the EER special issue in memory of Nora is now closed. We are grateful for the breathtaking number of excellent submissions. The issue will become very special indeed.

Wäre da auch eine, dem Völkerrecht verschriebene, dabei?

5 days to go!

Turns out almost everything I have recently been thinking about is examined in The Good Place.

The EP is available on most platforms.

The songs are based on Kipling’s If, Goethe’s Mignon, and Frost’s The Road Not Taken

Oh, and thanks for your reply! It did make my misery today a good bit less miserable.

Turns out this an industry. Based in Kenya. Where we will be moving to next year … I shall forget about this until then ;)

Not even sure why I was surprised

Thank you! It was indeed my sheer happiness that someone finally got in touch that made me overlook the (clear, in retrospect) warning signs … Kudos to them for coming up with something that well crafted - feeding on desperation and with well-designed steps like their egyptair complaints form …

I had once a case where there were queries during the exam. I went to the room and explained the question and, as I couldn’t restrain myself: also the answer — which didn’t help though … Scarred me for life.

Sadly, yes, it seems. Because I approved the transaction with two-factor authentication and all. They just sent the money then and it’s gone …

Happy you avoided the trap(s)

Thank you, Christoph. I’m so stupidly agitated (next to just being stupid) …
