Being on the academic job market is a real rollercoaster. Just waiting and craving the confirmation of an interview invite

So bluesky decides to become a thing right as I am on the #econjobmarket. And here I thought I would not have to sell myself on 280 characters as Twitter was dead. Sad

I have heard of this "Friendsgiving". Tommorow we remake the concept with a "Vinterbord". Like a classical Swedish Christmas buffet, but with friends and any winterday you can all get together

So apparently bluesky blew up the last weeks....

Why is it that my father always think he knows econ theory better than me?

Var hittar man detaljplanen? Om man får vara lat och fråga.

Skulle verkligen att någon berättade vad en "politisk manifestation" är i detta sammanhang. Hur kan inte det vara första frågan till rektorn?

Men det där är Högskoleförordningen, gäller inte privata högskolor.

The best word ever is "nerdsniping". To give someone a problem that makes them drop their focus and try to solve it.

The allies actually tried this during WWII. They dropped hard math problems from the air to make German scientists focus on the wrong stuff

Svårt för folk att se den direkt kopplingen till ohälsa. Inte som tobak och alkohol.

Problemet med sånna här skatter är att dom troligen även ökar priset på mer hälsosamma varor. Tror mer på förbud eller ransonering ibland

Har du en känsla för hur effektiva dom är på att ändra betende? I relation till typ varningstexter.

When you are supposed to edit your article but someone mentions a fun problem that you can sumulate to get an answer to... What can you do?

Life as a PhD student: your paper is finnished, and then you read it again. Then it is not finnished, and needs to be fully restructed

"The function g(x) should be nice, ie Lipscitz continius"

So my friend in Mathematics is defending his PhD thesis today. Let's se if they have the same format as in economics.

The best thing about the seminar series is that you get to meet speakers, pitch your research, and get suggested new literature to check out.
Even better when that literature does not do exactly what you do....

Såklart dom har. Men har förstått det som att det endå kan ha en effekt. Vet att jag låter som en 20åring

Bra, finns ju en anledning att tidningar aldrig går in på detaljer kring självmord

Förlåt en kränkt främling, men är denna sorts diskution något som bör föras såhär öppet? Inget illa ment, men kan vara bra att tänka ett varv till bara

Impulsive Consumption and Financial Well-Being: Evidence from an Increase in the Availability of Alc... Abstract. The increased availability of alcohol may harm individuals who have present-focused preferences and consume more than initially planned. Using a natio

I just did some RAing, but here is the paper: academic.oup.com/rfs/article/...

How the experiment with Saturday opening of "systembolaget" in 2000 effected pawn shop borrowing, but also drunk driving and violent crime (but as secondary outcomes).

Would be interesting to see in a similar setting, to see how much they have in common. To pin down a pure alcohol effect. Touched on the liquor store effect in a project on borrowing.

Cool! How does the "pub effect" differ from the "liquor store effect" generally, do you think? Is there a systematic difference in crime depending on where you consume the alcohol?

So researchers need to actually think about what they want to communicate to their audience? As long as it is not in 100th of SEK.

Everywhere? Or in specific fields? Is percentage change better for comparing coefficients for different variables?

Trouble as an PhD student. Going to a formal meeting and have nothing to wear. Dresscode needed to give us incentives to buy a better wardrobe.

Bra! Laggen på siffran gör den ju oförståeligt ibland!

Går den att säsongsjustera på något sätt?

Blev slagen hit av @johanorrenius.bsky.social , så nu kanske jag slipper fler meddelanden med fel mottagare om foboll
