Vor vier Wochen erschien unser AfD-Gutachten. Drei Erkenntnisse, die noch viel zu wenig durchgedrungen sind: 1. Es gibt keine gemäßigte Strömung mehr in der AfD. Die Partei richtet sich als Ganzes gegen unsere Grundordnung. Die Vorstellung, ohne Höcke & Co. wäre alles gut, ist falsch.

How likely is it that a 15-year-old girl will eventually die from a pregnancy-related cause? Researchers at the UN and the World Bank combined available birth and mortality data with statistical models to answer this question.

Bar chart of the estimated lifetime probability that a 15-year-old girl eventually dies from a pregnancy-related cause by country, where risks are highest in several African countries (Central African Republic highest, around 4 percent) and decline to near zero for many European and other countries. Data are for 2023 assuming constant maternal mortality and births per woman; source: Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-Agency Group, WHO (2025). License: CC BY.

Measles vaccines save millions of lives each year. Measles used to be an extremely common disease. Just sixty years ago, over 90% of children would have been infected by it, and of those who developed symptoms, around a quarter would be hospitalized.

Hi All. Perhaps something useful from me. I'd like to announce that drlate, a Stata module for doubly robust estimation of the local average treatment effect (LATE) and the local average treatment effect on the treated (LATT), is now available in SSC.

Doubly Robust Estimation of Local Average Treatment Effects Using Inverse Probability Weighted Regression Adjustment

We revisit the problem of estimating the local average treatment effect (LATE) and the local average treatment effect on the treated (LATT) when control variables are available, either to render the i...

Five million children die every year. This is not only devastating due to the pain and loss that it represents, but also because most of these deaths are preventable. To stop them, we need to understand what children are dying from. We’ve built a new interactive visualization to help do this.

Treemap of causes of death among children under 5 in 2023 where each rectangle’s size represents the share of the global total of 4.67 million deaths. The chart shows infectious diseases and birth disorders make up the largest shares (about 44% and 42% respectively), with leading individual causes including respiratory infections, preterm birth, and neonatal asphyxia, while injuries and non‑communicable causes account for much smaller shares.

Friedrich Merz' 80-Prozent-Illusion Der Bundeskanzler will mehr als 700.000 Syrer zurück in ihr Herkunftsland schicken. Deutschland braucht diese Menschen – für den Arbeitsmarkt, die Sozialkassen und gegen den demographischen Wandel. 🧵 Meine neue Kolumne Die Zeit: www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2...

Rückkehr nach Syrien: Friedrich Merz' 80-Prozent-Illusion

Der Bundeskanzler will mehr als 700.000 integrierte Syrer zurück in ihr Herkunftsland schicken. Das ist ökonomisch völlig unsinnig und ein Affront gegen die Betroffenen.

Das ist einfach nur noch lobbyistischer Irrsinn. Mitten in der Energiekrise wird nicht der klimafreundliche & soziale öffentliche Nahverkehr günstiger gemacht, sondern Flugreisen. Und zwar mit bis zu 355 Millionen - während die Bundesregierung erzählt "alle" müssten nun den Gürtel enger schnallen.

Bundesregierung - Ticketsteuer für Flüge soll zur Jahresmitte sinken

Für Flüge aus Deutschland soll ab dem Juli eine niedrigere Ticketsteuer gelten.
