🚀 I'm excited to announce I'm on the #EconSky job market this year! In my #EconJMP, I study the dynamic treatment effects of student financial aid. 🎓💸 I find that student financial aid can crowd-in future aid, and that this drives a large part of its long-term benefit.

Ir izveidots publisks Whatsapp kanāls, kur sekot līdzi informācijai par protestu. Īpaši svarīgi tas būs tieši pirms protesta un protesta laikā - saukļiem, koordinācijai, aktuālākajai drošības informācijai uz vietas utt. Ja nāksi uz protestu, noteikti pievienojies: ej.uz/nke4

Cilvēki saka, lai neesmu tik dramatiska, bet šī nav pat maza daļa no drāmas, ko gribētu sacelt. Amerikāņiem arī ilgi teica ignorēt trampu un necelt paniku, jo tāpat nekad neievēlēs. Tagad jau var šūdināt savus Handmaid’s Tale tērpus - vairs nav tālu. Tāpēc būsim tik dramatiski, cik vien var.

Tuvojas Latvijas Bankas tautsaimniecības konference. Šoreiz - par kreditēšanu. Esam paveikuši lielu darbu, kreditēšana strauji aug. Ko darīt, lai tā būtu vēl straujāka un palīdzētu ekonomikai augt sekmīgāk? Aicinām ekonomikas interesentus pievienoties diskusijām 21.novembrī.

Zemākais punkts kreditēšanā ir pagātnē. Bet kā panākt, lai kreditēšanas aktivitāte būtu noturīga arī nākotnē? 🌱 Kopā ar finanšu nozares un uzņēmumu pārstāvjiem par to šogad diskutēsim mūsu tautsaimniecības konferencē. 🟪 Reģistrējies dalībai: conference.bank.lv

“If you have a question about the universe, you always have a few possibilities—in particular through language. The power of the word is, for me, the only way to get closer to this hidden reality.” We’ve unlocked our Art of Fiction interview with László Krasznahorkai. buff.ly/5rxtimk

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Brīdinām par krāpniekiem, kuri izmantojot "WhatsApp", uzdodas par Latvijas Bankas pārstāvjiem. Aicinām ignorēt šādus ziņojumus un brīdināt tuviniekus, īpaši tos, kas varētu būt vieglāk pakļaujami šādām krāpnieciskām darbībām. Latvijas Banka šādā veidā nesazinās! Plašāk: www.bank.lv/aktualitates...

Great VoxEU column by my colleague

Andrejs Zlobins@andrejs-zlobins.bsky.social · last yr.

Happy to share my first VoxEU column, based on a recent @latvijasbanka.lv/ @ecb.europa.eu ChaMP research network working paper (datnes.latvijasbanka.lv/papers/WP_1_...)! The column documents the lags & strength of monetary policy transmission in the EA and how they have changed over time.

Nobody expected Latvia goalie Linards Feldbergs to finish his #WorldJuniors with 210 saves. Or to upset Canada in the prelims. But those close to him also aren't surprised by his performance. How the 🇱🇻 goalie became the feel-good story of the tournament:

The goalie behind Latvia’s unexpected run at the World Juniors will be remembered for his saves and his smile.
