Hello! I am excited to finally announce the details of my new podcast. Introducing The Union Bug—a podcast by workers, for workers. Premiering Jan 2.

The Econ Job Market is an emotional rollercoaster. But nothing lifts your mood like realizing your master’s thesis is cited in the Handbook of Labor Economics. 😭

Thanks a lot Fabian! I can not describe how much I appreciate this. 😊

I'm happy to share that I’ve been appointed Associate Professor of Strategy & Innovation at CBS.

Tenure has been a long road, and I'm grateful to everyone who supported me along the way — mentors, colleagues, friends, and especially my wife. Excited for what comes next.

Lukas Lehner Wins International Awards For Dissertation ➽ https://www.inet.ox.ac.uk/news/lukas-lehner-wins-international-awards-for-dissertation

@lukaslehner.bsky.social has received two international awards for his dissertation completed @ox.ac.uk @dspi-oxford.bsky.social

In her JMP titled, "How Men and Women Respond to Failure: Evidence from Chess Tournaments," she finds that men react to failure with riskier, less accurate play and are more likely to quit in the short run, while women stay resilient, but no significant differences in the long run.

New data on the #EconJobMarket as of Nov 2. Based on total # of job listings on JOE, this year continues to be even weaker (by 11%) than during COVID (2020). 1/many #EconSky

Agree with all of this. 🥲

Since the UK Replication Games are online, anyone can join 🌍

Our @iwh-halle.bsky.social and @uni-kiel.de team with @juliaengel.bsky.social, @johannaraith.bsky.social and other PhD students, will join the event.

I can only recommend joining as well!

Application review:

Response within 24h: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Greeted with “Moin”: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
No H1B sponsorship: ⭐️

Would apply again.

On the bright side, when others proceed similar, at least the response rate to my applications is going up compared to two years ago. 🙃

Was gibt es schöneres als von PolitikerInnen kontaktiert zu und um Einblicke in die eigene Forschung gebeten zu werden. 🤩 @leibniz-gemeinschaft.de im Bundestag

Seriously Paul please tell me I can use that post for the intro of a class on replications in Experimental Economics. 😂

Thousands of rogue bosses get away with not paying tribunal awards The government scheme ‘enforcing’ money owed to workers has been unsuccessful in a staggering three-quarters of cases

🚨 Our new investigation out today reveals how thousands of people who've taken their bosses to employment tribunals & won, never got paid, even after they approached the government for help.

This has serious implications for the Employment rights bill.

🚨I4R is looking to hire postdoc fellows in public health and computer science!

The postdoc will join a team of researchers and help mass reproduce studies in leading public health journals or develop AI replicator agents.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch dem Preisträger 👏

Could anyone share examples of well-designed and practical LaTeX presentations that are suitable for lecture slides? I am looking for some inspiration. #TeachEcon

Many thanks to the Association for Socioeconomic Education and Research for this honor! 🙏

Few things make an interdisciplinary social scientist happier than recognition from an interdisciplinary committee. My dissertation received the Elinor-Ostrom Prize for Socioeconomic Education and Research.🏆 #GSÖBW

No expectation to cite their own research? I thought that was usually required in the very first paragraph.

All types of JOE openings to date in 2025, down 30% from last year.

U.S. full time academic tenure track, down 40%.

Thats an investment in your future finance salary!

They probably just have info about average Prof. salaries in London. 😄

We are going to need a lot more Professor Horse leadership training to fill the gap he left. 😕

Figure 1.7 illustrates the extent to which countries that spend more on health have better health outcomes. There is a clear positive association between health spending per capita and life expectancy at birth (Figure 1.7). Among the 38 OECD countries, 18 spend more and have higher life expectancy than the OECD average (top right quadrant). A further 11 countries spend less and have lower life expectancy than the OECD average (bottom left quadrant). Of particular interest are countries that deviate from this basic relationship. Eight countries spend less than the OECD average but achieve higher life expectancy overall (top left quadrant). This may indicate relatively good value for money of health systems, notwithstanding the fact that many other factors also have an impact on health outcomes. These eight countries are Korea, Spain, Italy, Israel, Portugal, Chile, Costa Rica and Slovenia. The only country in the bottom right quadrant is the United States, with much higher spending than all other OECD countries but lower life expectancy than the OECD average.

Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages).

The United States sits alone in the bottom right area due to its very high spending rate and below-average life expectancy.
