New working paper With Torben Johansen and @ChristianVedel It's on a methodological issue that we think is crucial for the discipline of economic history: Whenever we use machine learning tools in our workflow, they can introduce structural bias. So, what should we do?

Machine Learning is causing massive leaps everywhere. Also in Economic History. There is a conversation we need to have. What ought to be the new scientific standards? Together with two coauthors . Our argument: We should maybe care a bit less about accuracy 📝🧵

New paper alert 🚨 🚨 Education and Skills during the First Industrial Revolution in England Together with co-authors @sdepleijt.bsky.social and @patrickwallis.bsky.social, we set out to solve one of the most intriguing puzzles of the Industrial Revolution

im obsessed with the early modern period because you go to any scientist's biography and it's like "then he wrote a 400 page treatise about how the world-soul is sentient but not conscious and thereby it cannot go to hell"

@juliuskoschnick.bsky.social is presenting in our seminar series on "The Complementarity of Education and Skills in Early Industrial England". Julius, @patrickwallis.bsky.social, and Alexandra de Pleijt revise the traditional view that education and British industralisation were disconnected.
