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 โ€” restrictions on AI risk entrenching privilege instead of correcting it.

Isnโ€™t it beautiful how the left now hopes that markets will save democracy?

Tod und Terror im Nahen Osten: Schweigen ist nicht neutral Die Bundesrepublik unterstรผtzt den Staat Israel im Gazakrieg. Dabei missachtet sie internationales Vรถlkerrecht und unterdrรผckt Kritik.

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

Wir argumentieren, dass die verstรคrkte รœbernahme rechter Politik durch die Parteien der sogenannten Mitte eng mit Deutschlands Unterstรผtzung von Israels Vรถlkerrechtsverbrechen zusammenhรคngt.

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, โ€šMore effort with less payโ€™ got accepted - a dozen years after its inception - very emotional moment. I remember so vividly when we were plotting in Berlin.

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

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

I had once a case where there were queries during the exam. I went to the room and explained the question and, as I couldnโ€™t restrain myself: also the answer โ€” which didnโ€™t help though โ€ฆ 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 itโ€™s gone โ€ฆ
