Maria Cubel

Exciting project joint with @cubel.bsky.social and Mariele Macaluso.

First paper I am refereeing with hallucinated references (in addition to AI-bloated text). What is the norm in these cases? My gut reaction is Reject.

Congratsssss!!!!!!

Elated to share that I’ve been awarded a Fellowship with the Digital Futures Institute @kings-dfi.bsky.social to develop the project "Economics and Science Fiction: Imagining Futures of Work and Technology" to brings economics, culture, and technology together.

Excited for what’s ahead!

@cubel.bsky.social presenting the results of the 2025 survey on work climate in Spanish academia.

For three years now, EVERY of my paper submissions handled by a US-based editor has been desk-rejected.

Today @laurahospido.bsky.social and I will be presenting the results from the 2nd AEE Survey on Work Environment in Economics at the Simposio. Please join us at 2.45pm at the Lunch Session "Diversity and Professional Climate in Economics in Spain"

If you are attending the Simposio today, please join us at 2.45pm at the Lunch Session "Diversity and Professional Climate in Economics in Spain: Findings from the Second AEE Survey"

Hope so!

Esta entrada de @aleixcalveras.bsky.social es muy importante.

Cualquier partido al que de verdad le interese el bienestar a largo plazo de España debería hacer esto.

"Se iban a morir igual"

Yet another desk rejection:

“A full review would only delay a negative outcome, which wouldn’t serve you well.”

Do you know what would serve me well? Referee reports. Even negative ones. Feedback is how we improve.

We've all seen it on #econtwitter: "Thrilled to share my paper was accepted at [journal]!" or "Humbled to receive [grant] among thousands of applicants..."

Does all this (humble)bragging actually affect productivity? @cubel.bsky.social, Ann-Kathrin Koessler and I ran an experiment to find out 🧵

No se si es mas preocupante que sea tonto o que se lo haga.

Must read!!! 👇👇👇

¿Dependen los sesgos de evaluación de cómo diseñamos las escalas de puntuación? En un reciente trabajo con @cubel.bsky.social investigamos esto en el contexto de la crítica cinematográfica española, comparando reseñas que utilizan estrellas enteras vs. medias estrellas. 🎬⭐️

Thanks @faculti.bsky.social for inviting me to do one of the things I love the most: talking about my research!

Why do citizens sometimes overlook corruption when it comes from politicians who feel like “one of us”? @cubel.bsky.social , @citystgeorges.bsky.social , discusses: faculti.net/why-voters-f...

So happy to take part! Thanks to the organizers!!!

Hay que agradecer enormemente a @sanpages.bsky.social su esfuerzo semanal, especialmente viendo las reacciones de algunos “lectores” 🙈

Una entrada super necesaria! 👇

I’m really looking forward to joining this workshop!!!

Barcelona fulmina el relato ultra y reduce la mayoría de delitos pese al gran aumento de la inmigración La estadística de criminalidad del primer semestre de 2025 vuelve a mostrar un descenso de los delitos convencionales que ha sido la tónica en la capital catalana desde la pandemia

Se ha quedado un buen día para hablar de la (no) relación entre inmigración y criminalidad. ¿Qué nivel desea?

When do people choose to compete against standards of excellence vs. play it safe? Think promotions, grants, journal submissions. This is what my co-authors @cubel.bsky.social , Christiane Schwieren, Cosima Steck and I address in our new working paper "Against the Standard" (1/4)
