Interested in *dynamic labor and family economics*?

Så fik jeg lejlighed til at samle tankerne om differentieret moms og andre afgifter. Tak til @altingetdk.bsky.social for at bringe det.

Økonom: Lavere moms på frugt og grønt lyder simpelt, men trækker i retning af mere bureaukrati - Altinget

Debatten om moms og afgifter er gået fra nul til hundrede. Det kan være fornuftigt at fjerne nogle, men større brug af differentieret moms og afgifter trækker i retning af mere bureaukrati. Hvis man ø...

Jeg har strikket til mine døtre.

DESVÆRRE har Sigrid (hende med hættetrøjen) mistet sin på baren Osborne på Nørrebro i København i fredags. Hun vil blive mega glad (og også moren, der så ikke skal strikke en ny 😌) hvis den dukker op igen. Vil I dele?

One interpretation could be that tenured faculty teach more basic (boring perhaps) courses and let younger colleagues teach interesting frontier stuff.

I haven’t read the paper. But have tenure.. 😂

Heya #EconSky,

has anyone read the recent @nber.org WP on "Uncertainty in Empirical" Econ by Shorfheide and You?

Based on a quick look this morning
- this is interesting!
- I need more time to read it and someone to discuss it with

Spændende! Jeg er en sucker for den slags grafer her!

Jeg har dog svært ved at få det til at passe med, at der ingen effekt er for drenge 🫣

Just got my first BOOX tab ultra c pro ebook reader!

I am super happy with it so far but eager to hear if anybody has some good tips/tricks/apps for scientific use.

(I have synced my papers using FolderSync with dropbox)

Just using the build in reader for now.

Let me know how I should set it up!

Ok academic bsky let's see if you're worth your salt! I need references for the idea that Chetty-style mobility are not real but artefacts of transitory shocks, small sample bias etc etc

30 years after arriving in the US, I just resigned from Northwestern and we sold our house.

We are an American family, I became a citizen in 2014, and until recently did not expect to ever leave. But now, this no longer feels like the right place to raise a family and pursue a research career.
