Über 15 Jahre nach Einführung der #eID haben nur knapp ein 1 Drittel der Erwachsenen in Deutschland diese aktiviert.

Maßgeblich Berufstätige mit juristischem Hintergrund oder in Verwaltungstätigkeiten, sowie Menschen die an Trends interessiert sind.

Warum das ein Problem werden kann, steht hier.

Vielleicht beginnen dann auch Unternehmen die #eID in ihren Dienstleistungen anzubieten, welches woanders (Baltikum, Skandinavien) für die Mehrzahl der sicheren digitalen Interaktionen stehen....

Michael E. Rose @merose.bsky.social · Jul 18

Über 20 Jahre nach Einführung der #eID hat diese nur ein 1/3 der deutschsprachigen Erwachsenen aktiviert.

Basierend auf einer repräsentativen Bevölkerungsumfrage erläutern wir hier, wer das ist.

Wenn die Politik mehr Nutzung der #eID sehen will, dann muss sie zielgruppenspezifisch kommunizieren

🔎 Who in Germany has a #secure #digital #identity? 🧐 Our new study shows that only 35% of the adult German-speaking population have activated the #eID function 😦 6% are not even aware of it 😱 ❗

Schlußwort:
Wissenschaft ist der Treiber von allem, kein technischer Fortschritt ohne Grundlagenforschung.
Wir alle sollten allen Wissenschaften positiver zugewandt sein und bspw. unabhängig sein von politischen Ansichten und Herkunft der Wissenschaftler - also genau nicht wie D. Trump jetzt.

also konkret:
- die schlechte Datenlage über die 2. und 3. industrielle Revolution (Elektrizität + Chemie)
- das Frauenstudium in Deutschland
- das Promotionsrecht für Technische Hochschulen
- Austauschprogramme mit dem Ausland

Ben Golub @bengolub.bsky.social · Dec 24

In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.

As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.

Both also very good ones!

Sharon Belenzon put it that way: "I don't care about the average. The total number of disruptive papers is up."

As a daily Scopus user I can confirm that missing reference lists are an annoying truth.

@innovation.bsky.social what do you think?

Michael E. Rose @merose.bsky.social · Dec 19

The claim that disruptiveness in scientific papers declined over time (Park, Leahey and Funk 2023 in Nature) is apparently due to articles whose reference lists are not indexed

I remember a paper looking at the content of these books. For long time mostly religious stuff - that can hardly contribute to growth.

Did someone see that too?

Think of control groups as for Oettl (2012) or Azoulay, Graff-Zivin and Wang (2010). In fact, in our companion paper we replicate the search process of Oettl (2012).

sosia is the answer to the problem of Coarsened Exact Matching for large and/or diverse scientists populations.

You do not need to need to compute characteristics for everyone for every year, just let sosia do the search. (Some refinement of margins may be necessary.)

Michael E. Rose @merose.bsky.social · Nov 28

sosia can work with the following criteria
- discipline & field
- year of first publication
- number of publications
- number of coauthors
- number of citing papers

Left: Alfred Nobel; Right: His 'sosia' (Doppelgänger) who looks like him
