The news over the weekend and this morning have been terrifying. I'm dismayed at the total lack of action but I also have no idea how to act. I can't believe I'm watching America as I know it collapse in front of my eyes.

I have spent more than 13 years of my career at @iza.org Bonn. I was able to climb the in-house career ladder quite a bit: I started as an intern, was then hired as a student helper, and offered an IZA PhD scholarship. Eventually, I became a Senior Research Associate and Team Leader. (1/4)

I had the opportunity to visit the @cpbnl.bsky.social and present my research on `How Has the Increase in Work from Home Impacted the Parental Division of Labor?´ Thanks for the invitation and great discussions! I can also very much recommend the 🍻 in NL 😀

Devastating news that @iza.org is effectively closing down 😔 It was (or at the moment, is) a wonderful institute and the network was tremendously helpful in dissaminating work in labour economics. IZA will sorely be missed 😢 So sorry for all IZA employees!

Economists love using linear regression to estimate treatment effects — it turns out that there are perils to this method, but also amazing perks Come with me in this 🧵 if you want to learn about our now-published paper "Contamination Bias in Linear Regressions!" 1/ (Twitter rerun!)

I created an IZA @iza.org Network Fellows/Affiliates starterpack, starting from those I am following, and who are following me. I surely missed a lot. Please reply below this tweet and tag yourself and your fellow Fellows! #econsky #laboreconomics #econ go.bsky.app/5NP4VCb

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

I’ve made a Women in Econ starter pack (s/o @vinisingh.bsky.social for sparking the idea!). Share, follow, and comment below if you’d like to be added! go.bsky.app/LqBPkQZ

Had a nice day at VSE Prague 😊 Great discussions, comments, and food! Thanks for the invitation, Klara Kaliskova 🙌

Here is what I posted last week on Twitter, repeated here: A thread about what is wrong with the influence of Elon Musk and other tech billionaires. Another thread about content moderation will follow later this week.

I am very excited to share that I will join University Hamburg in autumn as postdoctoral researcher (collaborating with Iris Kesternich) :tada: Thank you to everyone who supported me throughout the job market!

"Even if low-educated women have highest period fertility levels in almost all covered European countries, the educational gradient is not always negative. In 1/3 of countries, fertility in 2010 is U-shaped, with middle-educated having lowest fertility" t.co/mBKslAJ50E

Excited to have @cacilialipowski.bsky.social visiting IZA this week. Check out her excellent Job Market Paper 👇

🚨🚨Very excited to share my 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 "No Kids, No Tech: How Shortages of Young Workers Hinder Firm Technology Adoption" I show that shortages of young workers reduce firm investments in new technologies exploiting a natural experiment. Full paper: caecilial.github.io/JMP/Lipowski...

JMP alert 🎉 What drives maternal labor supply - a key factor for labor market inequalities? Gender role attitudes! We use reduced form and structural methods to show that they are of first-order importance, both directly and through the mediation of policies (w/ Tim Mensinger) 🧵👇

I have a new working paper out with Pablo Guzman, Johannes Schmieder, Simon Trenkle, and Han Ye: "When Institutions Interact: How The Effects of Unemployment Insurance are Shaped by Retirement Policy. www.nber.org/papers/w31807 See replies for a short thread.

Welcome, @mpaffenholz.bsky.social 👋

Interested in using tools like #GitHub, #Markdown, #Docker for a more efficient and reproducible research workflow? If yes, my new course at UCL @ioe.bsky.social and NCRM may interest you. Registrations are open. Thanks to @pengzell.bsky.social for coordinating! www.ncrm.ac.uk/training/sho...

In about an hour, we start the IZA/ECONtribute Workshop on the Economics of Education in Bonn. In this thread, I will try to cover all presented papers. Program and zoom link 👇 conference.iza.org/conference_f...

Today, we had our annual "Pizza@IZA" event (I take credit for that title). The idea is simple: give out free pizza to lure the Bonn econ graduate students over to IZA to learn about their exciting projects. Thank you, @czimpelmann.bsky.social for organizing, and thank you to all attending.

Riesige Glückwünsche an Claudia Goldin zum diesjährigen Nobelpreis für Wirtschaftswissenschaften! Worum geht es bei ihrer Forschung? Ein paar Eindrücke aus ihrer Forschung zum Arbeitsmarkt (auf deutsch).

These are amazing news! Her work has been really influencial.. also on me as a researcher.

My IZA colleague @czimpelmann.bsky.social made it over, too. He does great structural and reduced form work on (among others) gender norms, labor supply and household finance. And he's on the market.

Thanks, @aaronsojourner.bsky.social, for highlighting our paper on job flexibility!

Really encouraging results about the impact of WFH on gender equity.
