🚨New language model for historical occupations🚨
OccCANINE is a new tool, which turns occupational descriptions (in all their pesky variety) into standard HISCO codes. Accurate, multilingual and fast. Developed by
Christian M. Dahl, Torben Johansen, and myself (1/12)

Wonder what has been happening with this for the past year? In August I gave this presentation at the Data Intensive Research Conference at IPUMS. In brief, OccCANINE is now better and more robust. For now, check the video: youtu.be/pwq1E6087vE?...

Did you eat butter this Easter? Was it Lurpak? 🧈 New publication in Business History. It naturally leads to a little reflection I would like to share with you. And it also leads to a small corner of economic history that needs reinterpretation🧵

My brilliant colleague's paper is finally available in working paper form. It is an important piece of the puzzle in understanding the intellectual origin our modern world. Julius essentially measures the 17th century scientific revolution using modern NLP tools. Absolutely fascinating!
I’m happy to announce that my JMP🚨🚨Teacher-directed change: The case of the English Scientific Revolution” is now out as a working paper. Finalising the draft has been a lot of work. So, very happy to share this. For lots of history, new micro-data &natural experiments, read on ->->->

Thursday and Friday was the 14th annual workshop on Growth, History and Development. But this year was different. This year marks the 150 year anniversary of women's access to university in Denmark. And what an obvious theme for a workshop on economic history. (1/x)

Who will be the first to write the history of that short-lived period that began in 1989 and ended in 2025? So much hope and opportunity, so much short-sighted and incompetent leadership on all sides, and such an ugly, tragic ending.

Instruktøren for kryolit-dokumentaren tager til genmæle i P1 Orientering - men svarene er langt fra overbevisende: www.dr.dk/lyd/p1/p1-or...

Have other university ITs become just as overzealous or are we blessed with a particularly impossible setup? in recent years, under the disguise of cybersecurity, we have gradually lost all authority over our work computers (e.g., what software to access) & now everything is subject to bureaucracy.

Tweeting is the generic term for posts on twitter-like platforms. You can tweet on Threads, Mastodon, X and BlueSky - and a number of other platforms yet to be invented.
