Jonas is a fantastic JM candidate and colleague. I’ll miss the “5-minute?” chats that turned into great ideas and the good vibes he brings every morning.

If you’re looking at JM applications, don’t skip his: Whoever gets him as a colleague will be very lucky 💫

My amazing co-author Elena Herold @elenahero8.bsky.social is on the job market ✨
She is a great researcher and a great person to work with!

Our paper "Should we stay or should we go?" has been nominated for the ONS People’s Choice Award!

in September 2006, this guy asked me for a cigarette (the only one time in a decade as smokers that I was the one with). 19 years later, same place, still friends, just a different career 🤗 #etsg25 #polimi

Thank you Ale for being part of it!

Had a lovely time at UC Dublin! Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and the comments! Special thanks to my host @streckernm.bsky.social also for the fun and the great chat (48 hours away from my flooded apartment was also a plus 😅)

2024 FULL YEAR UK TRADE DATA from ONS is out today

Goods exports fell 5.1% 2023-2024, while imports declined 0.5%, reflecting weakness in manufacturing

In contrast, services exports rose 3.4% Y-o-Y & services imports grew 3.3%, reflecting robust services output

🤸‍♂️Our research center @rationalitycrc.bsky.social‬: fantastic because we have fantastic junior researchers.

For #Econsky, I highlight our current Ass't Profs / postdocs. Worthwhile to check them out, e.g. as possible seminar speakers. Please see my reply – I list those on Bluesky. 🙏

Finishing the (conference) year in style 😎 thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to attend and to all speakers for terrific presentations!

(The rest of Saturday spent admiring one of fav artists made the whole week to feel like a dream)

What a great conference. Thanks so much to the organisers for this opportunity!!! #WIE2024

"what a surprisingly re-appearance" 😂

What a Monday morning: first VoxEu, grant accepted, endorphin levels still high from Princeton half marathon.
Truth is, after a great Monday, an awful one is approaching 😂
In the meantime, here a recap of our paper on services export supply mode post-Brexit.

4. Keep your non-academic friends close. They will remind you that life is much more than the JM
5. Enjoy the whole process
6. Celebrate every success, even if you think it is "nothing really"

Good luck!

With JM interviews approaching, I just want to remind to JMCs:
1. You will have a job at the end
2. Stay away from EJMR
3. The person you are has nothing to do with the number of interviews you have (do not ask the question /avoid peers asking this question)
