Very interesting how this zero-sum approach that we’ve been facing here in the UK is now emerging in the US. Much of what @mayasen.bsky.social says here is relevant for the UK *without student number controls* - no fixed pie here either but that doesn’t stop folks from thinking that there is 🤷🏽‍♀️

Welcome new #Economists moving to #EconSky! I have a thread of Starter Packs in the link if you are seeking your people. The lack of algorithm means *you need to follow people* otherwise you will experience BlueSky as dead. If I've missed an Econ-relevant Starter Pack, let me know in my DMs.

If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me. Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.
