This step also means it’s time for me to move on - and I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined @wisocologne.bsky.social and @econtribute.bsky.social to continue working on policy-relevant questions in #PublicEconomics. I’m really looking forward to meeting my new colleagues there soon!

My thesis wouldn't be what it is today without great coauthors & friends at @econmunich.bsky.social and beyond. I learned so much from Ingvild Almås, @fixbierbrauer.bsky.social, @pierrecboyer.bsky.social, @mbloemer.bsky.social, @paulhufe.net, @jakobmiethe.bsky.social, Niels Johannesen & many more!

I’m deeply grateful to @apeichl.bsky.social, Emanuel Hansen and @clemensfuest.bsky.social for forming an excellent and complementary supervision team. Together, they equipped me with the knowledge, networks, opportunities, and guidance that enabled my research to thrive over the past years.

🚨New working paper🚨 w/ @jeannebomare.bsky.social

We use data leaked from the Isle of Man to understand how well international agreements meant to provide tax authorities with info on foreign accounts actually work

We find that tax authorities probably receive a lot less than they would desire

After Trump´s disgraceful behavior last week, we thought we need to do something to help Ukraine directly. And you can help too…
georgweizsaecker.bsky.social
If one person gives a euro to Ukraine, the result is €1.

If two people give 2 each, it is €4.

If 3,000 give 3,000 each, it is 9 million.

Let’s coordinate, here 👇

It's a very sad day. Just notified that @iza.org is closing its doors as of 31 December 2025. At a time when labor is under attack and technological change moves at an ever-faster pace, I can't help but think that this is a short-sighted decision. My heart goes out to those folks who work there.

Just think, this could have all been avoided if he had just done a PhD in Sweden

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.

All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems.

We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵
A chart in three parts showing data on child mortality to make the points that "The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better. All three statements are true at the same time."

I created a Public Econ (broadly defined) starter pack (I didn't see one - let me know if I'm wrong), starting from those I am following, or who are following me.

I missed a lot. Please reply below this tweet and tag yourselves #econsky #publiceconomics #econ
