This is wild! Seven-day-ahead weather forecasts in high-income countries are more accurate than one-day-ahead weather forecasts in low-income countries.
I appreciate the WSJ following up on this story, which is already in danger of being one of many forgotten scandals in elite academia.

At Our World in Data, we spend much of our time counting deaths. But it’s just as important to know the number of lives saved — even though it is harder to estimate and involves much larger uncertainty. My Data Insight today includes this chart of some estimates.
It's fantastic that the network is saved. But IZA as an institute closing down is still a tremendous loss
Ingo E. Isphording@ingoisphording.bsky.social · 12mo agoUnfortunately, the "institute" itself has not found a new home. only its most tangible assets, the network and the discussion paper series, remain. Its postdoc program, the international campus in Bonn with its vibrant guest program, the workshop series, and the summer school, remain lost.
I am super happy about the IZA network and DP series having found a new home at @liser.lu . Having visited in the past, I think LISER is the kind of place IZA could (and should ) have been. I wish them all the best!
Hi, all! Looking for recommendations for asynchronous courses or self-paced learning materials (not just books or slides but also including exercises) for learning R and Python relevant to academic uses in business and economics research! TIA #EconSky
Just to answer @erdaltekin.bsky.social‘s question: ESPE 2026 will be held at Aalto University in Helsinki on 11-13 June 2026. Looking forward to seeing your submissions!!
Erdal Tekin@erdaltekin.bsky.social · 12mo agoAnyone knows the exact dates for ESPE 2026? @davidajaeger.bsky.social

Visiting the @ihs.ac.at in Vienna these days. Highly recommended office situation given the heat! Thank you, @kbekhtiar.bsky.social and Holger Bonin for the invitation.
Today, the German Federal Election Officer released data on voting by age and gender for the 2025 election. Contrary to popular belief, AfD support is still not strongest among the youngest voters, but rather among the middle-aged (males). Support is also still much lower in older cohorts. (1/3) 🧵
Does anyone else observe increasing bullshitting with ChatGPT? I use it extensively to summarize research papers, but in several occasions over the past weeks, it just hallucinates a completely different paper than the one I provide, even if I ask several times. I did not notice this before.
Our third speaker is @antoniaentorf.bsky.social, talking about “Mental Health Challenges Among Teachers: The Role of Occupational Structure and Workplace”.
I had the great pleasure to attend the CEPR Labor Symposium in Berlin and to present the joint project with @ingoisphording.bsky.social and Miriam Gensowski on mental health challenges among teachers.

Academia is cool because if you're doing it right, every paper you published in the last 3 years feels inadequate now that you understand the topic better, but it'll take 3 years to get out the version where you get it more right, and you get to do that until one day you die! Isn't that cool
Man muss sich klarmachen, dass alles, was Trump jetzt macht, eine Blaupause sein wird für die ersten AfD-Regierungen etwa im Osten Deutschlands. Ganz viel von dem Schrott werden die hier auch probieren.
One of the best things about Sweden: my coffee addiction finally feels socially accepted. Many thanks to @ifau.bsky.social for the kind invitation — and for making “Fika” an official item on the meeting agenda — after presenting joint work with @felix-holub.bsky.social and @beatethies.bsky.social
