4️⃣ The financial stakes were substantial Back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that, over 2014–2019, the decline in enforcement left approximately $100 million in Ukrainian claims and $180 million in Russian claims uncollected. 7/12

2️⃣ Courts made exceptional legal safeguards routine Courts increasingly relied on discretionary legal grounds, including public policy exceptions, to refuse enforcement. 5/12

Put simply, enforcement means that if a court in one country says someone must pay, a court in another country helps make that happen. 3/12

Forthcoming in AEJ: Applied Economics “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization” Debates on international students often focus on capacity, funding, or competition. My paper shows the main effects on natives are not academic or economic, but social.

@trouw.nl published an article about my paper on the impact of international students on native students in the Netherlands www.trouw.nl/onderwijs/co...

For a short, non-technical summary of the main results, see my earlier Bluesky post: bsky.app/profile/stna... The full working paper is open access and available here: www.ifo.de/en/cesifo/pu...

New WP: “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization” Debates on international students often focus on capacity constraints, funding, or competition. In the paper, I show that the main effects of internationalization on natives are not academic or economic, but social.

Effects depend on context Social-integration gains are largest in: - Non-STEM fields, - Larger programs, - Programs with more gender balance, - Exposure to international students from culturally proximate European countries. Competitive and male-dominated environments show weaker effects.

Effects on attitudes are sizable and comparable to those found in the contact hypothesis literature. Exposure also makes native students more internationally mobile: they become more likely to emigrate later in life.

Many of these relationships are formed outside the university, indicating genuine preference shifts rather than simple “meeting opportunities.”

I study the impact of exposure to international students in the first year of a bachelor’s program in the Netherlands. I exploit idiosyncratic cohort-to-cohort variation in the share of international students within programs. I use linked admin and survey data on one million students over 30 years.

Honoured to have won the Best Paper Award at the Annual Conference of the European Society for Population Economics! This is the first year of the ESPE PhD Prize, and I am truly honoured to be its first recipient for my paper “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization”.

Now, here’s a little secret. Do you want to win a best paper award? Just put “Melting Pot” in the title. Totally causal.
