New Working Paper with the amazing @korntob.bsky.social : tinyurl.com/CESifoWPLocal. It is also my first CESifo Working Paper. In short: We study "local reallocation": the exit of some workers from production even though employment increases in the same area and industry. A short explanation 👇

If you're more broadly interested in how the legacies of historical industrialization have shaped both long-term shifts and contemporary regional inequality in Germany, you may also want to check out this very cool paper by @sebastiantbraun.bsky.social‬ et al. 👇 bsky.app/profile/seba...

How is regional loss of manufacturing jobs linked to populism? In a new paper in @pvs-journal.bsky.social, @mbayerlein.bsky.social, Anne Metten & I find that industrial decline in Germany shapes electoral support for left-wing rather than far-right populist parties. A thread. 🧵👇 shorturl.at/RIjCr

Devastating news at IZA yesterday. More than 25 years of hard work, earned reputation, and valuable institutional knowledge and public good provision wiped out with a single stroke. It’s hard to find the words.

Devastating news that @iza.org is effectively closing down 😔 It was (or at the moment, is) a wonderful institute and the network was tremendously helpful in dissaminating work in labour economics. IZA will sorely be missed 😢 So sorry for all IZA employees!
