♀️♀️♀️EPISODE 2♀️♀️♀️ of 🇨🇭🇨🇭 WOMEN STARTUPS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM 🇨🇭🇨🇭 In our last episode (lnkd.in/d5C7vHn9) we discussed where to find ♀️ startups (relative to ♂️ startups) in general so the next question to be answered is: WHERE DO WE FIND WOMEN GROWTH-ORIENTED VS WOMEN NON GROWTH-ORIENTED STARTUPS?

It all started at a meeting of the Industrial Economics field committee of the Verein für Socialpolitik e.V. meeting in Regensburg back in 2016 (superbly organized by Andreas Roider). And it's now accepted for publication in Management Science.

Das Irre an dem enormen Druck auf GymischülerInnen in der 🇨🇭 ist: sitzen sie dann erst einmal in der Vorlesung, dann sie im Durchschnitt ganz genau so gut vorbereitet wie meine Studierenden in 🇩🇰 und 🇩🇪 - sie wirken mir dafür auch deutlich orientierungsloser. www.tagesanzeiger.ch/langzeit-gym...

Mein Sohn geht ins Gymi, es ist der Himmel – und die Hölle

Mein 12-jähriges Kind geniesst die neu gewonnenen Freiheiten. Gleichzeitig leidet es unter dem enormen Druck. In der Familie gibt es eigentlich nur noch ein Thema.

As a high-skilled immigrant from one of Switzerland's neighboring countries and now a Swiss citizen and voter I might be biased - but this is such an intersting and excellent study where relevance meets rigor. May the journalists take notice!

How the far-right in Switzerland convinced voters that immigration from the EU — which is mostly highly skilled and evidently boosted the economy — is actually a bad thing

arXiv is, imo, the best place for publishing working papers and we should recognize the work that volunteers do to provide this public good to us. Here is the list of current arXiv moderators for economics:

This is really, really cool! I mean, if we economists want to be taken seriously by a broader public (e.g., those who feed many of us), this is one way to go.

It has always been my ambition to push economics research to work at the frontier, producing evidence as the stories unfold. Brexit is one such story. As part of the brexitcost.org project we are measuring and exploring the cost of Brexit across constituent regions in the UK. Small thread ⬇️
