Measures of care

These people have re-engineered Word, and the whole Adobe family of products… they claim it’s a “clean room” rebuild so that could make it legal?? (Though it will obviously be litigated to hell…)

Journal prestige is just path dependency from a time when journals actually had physical space constraints.

Still upset about that highly cited paper in Psych Science you consider deeply flawed? Now is your time to shine ✨

#econsky - question for you! Is there a way to estimate quantile treatment effects in a staggered adoption DID? Thanks! @cdechaisemartin.bsky.social @pedrosantanna.bsky.social

Bombenfund im Nordviertel: Campus Essen wird morgen, 8.10.2026, geräumt. Die Stadt Essen evakuiert aufgrund eines Bombenfundes an der Segerothstraße auch den Bereich des Campus Essen.

I’m not claiming that this video is particularly good, but this was ~1 minute of prompting, ~$2 of google apis, ~$3 of opus 5.5, and 10 minutes of waiting. I think if you put in even 15 minutes of prompting you could create something solid.

Meine Vorschläge für das Unwort des Jahres: -Notbetrieb (im Kontext Kita) -Lernzielkontrolle -GKV-Beitragssatzstabilisierungsgesetz

Leider sind ja die Themen Tod und Sterben oft aus dem "normalen Leben " verbannt worden und nur ein hypothetisches Thema. Solche "letzte Hilfe" Kurse finde ich eine gute Idee für alle, für sie es dann doch ganz konkret wird (und das werden viele von uns irgendwann sein) www.gmx.net/magazine/wis...

You‘ll be back

Happy 3rd of October to those who celebrate!

Work meeting in grey Essen 😉

First they came for our two-way fixed effects. Now they're coming for time fixed effects! #EconSky www.nber.org/papers/w35807

Kudos to the journal for collaborating! Psych Science is doing quite a few things right from an outside perspective.

My colleague, who is not on here, was on the Mercatus Podcast. Really interesting if you are interested in labour economics, gender economics, development econommics or India. #econsky www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGE4...

Ich bringe euch frohe Kunde, zum 1.10. tritt eine Änderung zum LRKG ein und eine Hotelübernachtung darf endlich 90,- kosten, es gibt sie noch die guten Nachrichten

Mehr Belastungen für GKV-Versicherte durch das GKV-Beitragsstabilisierungsgesetz in 2027: 2,5 Milliarden € Entlastungen durch den neuen Tankrabatt 2,5 Milliarden €.

If you don't have a pretty good idea of what to report *before* you see the results, then you are doing it wrong.

Tell me you work in academia without telling me: I waited 6 months for people to turn my pdf into a different pdf and now have 3 business days to check it...

OpenResearch released a public-use data set for the OpenResearch Unconditional income Study (ORUS) - a guaranteed income experiment that paid $1,000/month to 1,000 people for 3 years, with a control group receiving $50/month. Test your hypotheses here: data.openresearchlab.org

wichtiger Rat zum Wochenbeginn

In Deutschland nehmen sich jährlich 10.000 Menschen das Leben. Dennoch ist das Wissen über Hilfe und Prävention kaum verbreitet. Was sich Betroffene wünschen.

Tell me you live in Germany without telling me: The supermarket had a sign this morning that they *only* take card payments. Pure chaos. Staff members talked to every customer who entered the store, whether they saw the sign. Staff members were visibly stressed. Customers confused...

Been waiting for this:

Fun little game in which a human life is randomly drawn for you. I ended up a girl, born in the Yangtze Basin in 670 CE. Died in infancy at 6 months 🥲 anyhumanever.com

This is such a rabbit hole. Open AI agents found an obscure, old *German* message board and used it to collude, as in they were working together to cheat their masters.

The takeaway: randomizing question order can help reduce cheating without hurting students’ overall performance.

Me: I am nervous about being on a regional radio channel. Julia: I will talk to millions of likely intoxicated AF fans about birth order effects.

HEPARD, the EU funded health economics graduate school led by @cinchessen.bsky.social now has an online Research Seminar Series. First speaker Adriana Lleras-Muney (UCLA). 📅 September 18, 3:00pm CET 💻 Online, free to attend 🔗 Register for the Zoom link: lnkd.in/enZcXf2t

It is great that Bluesky let's you hide rude comments. This should also be implemented in Editorial Manager.

All of causal health research comes down to the fact that people hate being randomized. They will self-sort as soon as is practical

For reasons only known to @dingdingpeng.the100.ci, I no longer believe the German city of Bielefeld exists. I didn't know it existed before an hour ago. But now I'm convinced it does not exist.
