Full house, sharp insights, and lively discussion @ Tariff Talk today -- “Shamrocks & Sledgehammers: Ireland in the Crossfire of Trump’s Trade War” Big thanks to Alan de Bromhead and Ron Davies for helping unpack global trade tensions with clarity and punch. @ucddublin.bsky.social

This is incredibly sad and a massive loss for the profession. IZA was my home for 5 years during which I met many wonderful people. I still have many friends there and am very sorry for them.

It's a very sad day. Just notified that @iza.org is closing its doors as of 31 December 2025. At a time when labor is under attack and technological change moves at an ever-faster pace, I can't help but think that this is a short-sighted decision. My heart goes out to those folks who work there.

Exciting times! The UCD School of Economics is hiring two tenure-track Assistant Professors, one in AI & Data Science in Economics and another in Behavioural Economics and Sustainability. These positions underline our ambition to grow in research & impact. More info here: x.com/EconomicsUCD...

My fantastic co-author Julian Voss has meticulously compiled municipality-level election results for Post-WW2 Western German elections (1949-1969) from historical records. What a great resource! Read the paper, use the data: osf.io/preprints/os...

Reading this paper and absolutely loving it. Addresses an important methodological issue, concise and clearly written, methods are implemented in an R package so others can use them easily. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I am very happy to share that I have been promoted to Professor of Economics at UCD. It has been quite a journey, and I'm deeply grateful to family, friends, colleagues, and mentors who provided invaluable support over many years. I'll pay forward for sure. #firstgen

Not so fast, my friend... There is a whole world out, even within the narrow focus on FEs. And there is a whole world of estimators given FEs.

So far, the #econsky experience is fun. 1) "Oh, such and such is here as well" 2) A bunch of economists trying to solve a collective action problem by writing "Are we really doing this now?"; really means "Is this time different or are we doing Mastodon again?"

Does anyone know how to view Bluesky on an iPad in full screen mode? The current app seems to be made for iPhone

Hi everyone! Happy to give this one a shot.
