My aunt had this map framed (not sure if same year). Always fun to see these old maps with the vineyards my family has been harvesting for many generations (Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Neumagener Rosengärtchen,…).

Well, my first reflex was to respond with “wait for retirement”. But then my serious me took over 😎

The first typically gets you in trouble as a public servant, the second typically not (sometimes it is even reinforced).

A bad public servant is someone who ignores the rules and decides arbitrarily or discriminatory (see recent events in the US). But a bad public servant is also someone who hides behind the rules to not serve (unfortunately quite frequent in Germany).

It is these rules that make ever citizen equal in front of the state (which in most times is represented by the public servant).

I think a public servant needs to be a good bureaucrat, someone who knows the rules of how the state/country functions and use these rules to serve the interest of the county/state and its citizens.

Overestimating sales is part of it. Stores also underestimate the substitution effect; consumers buying less of not-promoted products. If a product with a short shelve life is promoted more products in the same category are being wasted in the following week. No one needs two pounds of cheese ….

Very cool — I had actually considered doing something similar myself, but I assumed implementing it would end up consuming far too many years of my life. Kudos to you for making it happen! We are currently finalizing a paper showing that promotions lead to more food waste inside the stores.

Spannend, wie das Thema alternative Lebensmittel vor allem in ländlichen Regionen immer wieder diskursiven Sprengstoff liefert. Gestern Abend ging es in Straubing mal wieder heiß her - hat Spaß gemacht 😄 Und im Anschluss gab es noch tolle Gespräche mit Studis der Bioökonomie.
**Alt-Text:** Ein digitales Display zeigt das Programm der „4. Straubinger Nachhaltigkeitsgespräche“ vom 20. Mai 2025. Das Programm besteht aus vier Punkten: I. „Begrüßung und Einführung in das Thema“ durch Prof. Dr. Volker Sieber von der TUM. II. Ein Vortrag von Dr. Martin Reich mit dem Titel „Braukessel statt Bauernhof – welche Alternativen haben wir in der Versorgung mit Nahrungsmitteln?“. III. Eine Diskussion mit Teilnehmern aus Landespolitik, Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft. IV. Ein Ausblick von Toni Hinterdobler vom Hochschulstadt Straubing e.V. Rechts oben sind die Logos der Hochschule München, der Stadt Straubing und der TUM, sowie ein QR-Code zum Online-Programm zu sehen.

Ein Mysterium. 😁 Auf der anderen Seite verdient ein deutscher PostDoc oft mehr als eine Assistant Prof in UK

I can see more and more universities extending Stellensperren (duration until you can hire a person on a position again). That’s typically a sign l…

I did not realize, but given tight budgets inside the universities I would not be surprised if some try get new hires without breaking the bank. IMO a lot of the current situation is tied to the worsening financial position of universities and not necessarily strategic thinking.

I think the shift towards project funding / grants contributes to this problem. The typical duration is three years, but at least in Econ it often takes longer for a PhD. So you end up with more temporary solutions and fixes.

One example: you have a PhD/PostDoc leaving a 100% position. You have a PhD student with a stipend. a) You support this student with a 25% position from now on (typically 25% is the max for not loosing the stipend) and search for a new candidate with 75% or b) search for a new candidate with 100%

I think this is not the full picture. Some market power, but there are also budget constraints, different planing horizons, and whether you want to treat PhD students at the same professorship differently.
