The semester is about to start and today I was asked if I am a freshman. That's a clear sign that I don't work enough.

I feel like I have missed out on promoting our most recent school-choice experiment here:

I am happy to say that now, 3 days after the conference and 3 days before I fly back, my body has adjusted to the Korean time zone.

Economists can be a tough crowd... I won't have that problem because I am in the very last session of the conference and everyone will already be out being a tourist.

Seems to be a strong baby if you can't land a KO before the full twelve rounds.

Me and my fellow 1700 were cut out because of the y axis.

No offense taken by Berliners. This does not affect your rank in the list of least favorite inhabitants though.

Man muss natürlich auch beachten, dass es in den Ländern unterschiedliche Regeln gibt, welche Art von Verhältnis Patient und lebender Spender haben müssen.

Vincent Meisner @vincentmeisner.bsky.social · Jul 31

Schade, dass es wenige Länderpaare gibt, die in vielerlei Hinsicht ähnlich sind, sich aber nur bei Opt-In/Opt-Out unterscheiden. Man könnte aber z.B. Deutschland/Österreich, Estland/Lettland oder Dänemark/Schweden vergleichen

Hmm, weiß ich nicht. Das Argument, dass Opt-Out Spenden von Toten zu Lasten von Spenden durch Lebende erhöht ist interessant. Aber sind Organe von verstorbenen Spendern nicht wohlfahrtstechnisch "besser" als die von lebenden? Erstere haben ja wirklich gar keine Einschränkung, letztere schon.

Peter Achim (York) was visiting our theory group in Berlin this semester. Fascinated by the sophisticated regularity of our lunch schedule, he had his wife (an illustrator) create the following flow chart of decision making.

Photo from the side... should have gone to the gym before the talk!

Anyway, that was great fun! Thanks for letting me talk about my first experiment!

"What did you do last week?" Elon Musk asked. Well, I am proud to say that I managed to do an incredible amount of work yesterday--despite it being a public holiday!
I disassembled several houses, and I helped desperate passengers out of an intricate parking situation!

I bought a customized cap with the embroidering "market design" only to make the joke to literally put it on when I say "putting on my market-design hat, I would..." and now I have lost it without ever making the joke!!!
If your dealer in Görlitzer park is wearing this green cap... it's mine!
