Good to see a piece about the EUI in The Economist. But this is a hatched job, with little resemblance to reality. Charlemagne is usually excellent, so this is odd. Can only think that @spignal.bsky.social talked to people who don't really know what's going on. www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

Today was my last day as Director of the @eui-eu.bsky.social Max Weber Programme. In September I told the fellows that they will look back at the postdoc years as the best ones of their careers. My years at the MWP matched those. I’ll miss them, the fantastic fellows, and the view from the office
📚 Today, the Max Weber Programme's January Lecture featured Anna Dreber Almenberg, Professor at the Stockholm School of Economics. Professor Dreber Almenberg discussed her co-authored research testing the replicability of experiments published in high impact journals.

Can support for Brexit survive? 🤔 in this paper with @fresejoris.bsky.social @simonhix.bsky.social we estimate that the declining support for Brexit has to an important extent related to older Brexit supporters passing away (and younger Bremainers joinig the electorate). 1/2
Brexit associated with 86% increase in departure of EU origin professors from UK.
"Homecoming After Brexit," by @ebrusanliturk.bsky.social @samin.mas.to.ap.brid.gy @ezagheni.bsky.social & F Billari, uses Scopus data to assess “immediate effects of the 2016 Brexit referendum on the mobility of top talent in British academia.” @mpidr.bsky.social read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

🇬🇧🇪🇺 Published Today in EJPR 🇬🇧🇪🇺 @simonhix.bsky.social @juhoharkonen.bsky.social and I find that 1/3 of the anti-Brexit shift in the UK can be attributed to the impact of cohort replacement (old voters dying, young people becoming eligible to vote)! 1/12 ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

EUI ranked #6 globally in political science. A truly astonishing achievement by our polisci phd researchers, postdocs and profs! Also a good time to have my first political science journal paper accepted (with @fresejoris.bsky.social @simonhix.bsky.social ) and benefit from the halo
Fulfilled my duty as a demographer and participated in the Italian census
Now the day came that I had to reject a paper because we couldn’t find a single reviewer for it (after 20+ tries). And yes, it was on an LMIC country. And that’s a pattern. How’s that for social scientists’ open-mindedness?
