Restricting visas doesn’t lead to hiring non-immigrants—it leads to hiring foreigners. For every H-1B visa rejection, multinationals add ~0.4–0.9 foreign employees, especially in R&D hubs like India, China, and Canada. via @florianederer.bsky.social

Any IO papers on the impact of funding $ on academic research (e.g. published papers, weighted by citations or anything similar) in the sciences?

Fuhito Kojima’s Walras Bowley Lecture has just been uploaded to arxiv. It considers that administrative boundaries cause many markets to be fragmented, and how some of the resulting efficiency loss can be recovered. #econsky marketdesigner.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...

I know this take will probably be unpopular on Bluesky, but I think as educators we should be thinking about how to productively incorporate LLMs into our teaching. I think that if done thoughtfully, it has the potential to boost learning.

A *null* result I'm very proud of! Led by Rustam Romaniuc, 35 coauthors from all over France tested nudge interventions to boost voter turnout. None worked, and we are possibly not surprised -- but a well-powered null result *is* a result! Paper: kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

Very interesting paper!

This recent fraud case is also a cautionary tale for any research based on proprietary data source.

This is great - congratulations.
