I am officially off the market. In 2024-2025, I will be a Hoover Fellow at Stanford ( @HooverInst ). From 2025, I will join Carlos III in Madrid as an AP ( @EconomicsUc3m ). I am so grateful for all the help I have received along the way!!

My take: likes Bulgakow, Faulkner, García Márquez, Mahler 5 and Berlin techno, asks the cab driver how their day is going, daily meditation practise but wild on the dance floor, no pineapple on pizza, Stata + Python > R, no customized cover letter unless there's a credible signal

I am already an instant fan. "Pay attention to the world around you." (1) "Focus on ideas and mechanisms." (2) and "Armed with ideas, look for a suitable setting." Not the reverse.. (3).

@IvanWerning How to get started and come up with ideas for topics to work on? Here are my slides. Main message: pay attention to the world around you; look for seemingly important things that haven't been studied by economists; carefully read work from other fields.

@annastansbury @jasonfurman Careful! We don't know the counterfactual. Germany had unreasonably high unempl. rates before (with a peak in 2005). If you take 2007 as the benchmark, it looks like Germany managed well even if it didn't. Pre-crisis structural reforms likely more important than crisis management

"The more the data, the surer we fool ourselves." - thought-provoking, witty, and well written abstract. I've yet to read the full paper but it sounds great!

Earning's penalty for women after child birth highest in Germany (and Austria) and lower in US, UK, Denmark and Sweden. Highly correlated with gender norms, see thread 👇

By far the highest earnings penalties are found for Germany and Austria: up to 80% in the short run and 60% in the long run. (4/6)

Economic historians often say that we should answer historical questions which have contemporary import. I disagree. This restricts us in profoundly counterproductive ways. Answering the historical question of the moment keeps us from informing the historical narrative. 1/N

@joachim_voth Should work well in QGIS. Might take 30-60 minutes per map to do it beautifully, so it depends on the number of maps. If someone has good python code to automate, I'd be curious to see it!
