Thank you! Did not know you have a substack, too!

From the job ad. Don’t you dare work a minute longer.

Welcome to Germany 🙃🕐

At Our World in Data, we spend much of our time counting deaths.

But it’s just as important to know the number of lives saved — even though it is harder to estimate and involves much larger uncertainty.

My Data Insight today includes this chart of some estimates.

Sorry, I don't know. I guess that LISER will clarify soon!

As far as I understand, they are gone for good. I am not aware of any attempt to save these parts.

Definitely so! Shutting down the DP series would have been a terrible loss. And @liser.lu is a great place to host the network!

Yet, I am still extremely sad about IZA's main assets - the institute itself, its postdoc program, it's Berlin and Bonn campus, the guest program and the workshop series - being cancelled. It remains a big loss.

I am super happy about the IZA network and DP series having found a new home at @liser.lu . Having visited in the past, I think LISER is the kind of place IZA could (and should ) have been. I wish them all the best!

Ingo E. Isphording @ingoisphording.bsky.social · Aug 20

Unfortunately, the "institute" itself has not found a new home. only its most tangible assets, the network and the discussion paper series, remain. Its postdoc program, the international campus in Bonn with its vibrant guest program, the workshop series, and the summer school, remain lost.

Ingo E. Isphording @ingoisphording.bsky.social · Aug 20

Nonetheless, I am very happy to see that those parts surviving have found a new home at @liser.lu : that place already now displays the kind of research institute IZA could have been with necessary support. I wish them all the best!

To be clear: the "institute" itself has not found a new home—only its most tangible assets, the network, the discussion paper series, remain. What moreover defined IZA, its postdoc program, the campus in Bonn with its vibrant guest program, the workshop series, and the summer school, has been lost.

Hi, all! Looking for recommendations for asynchronous courses or self-paced learning materials (not just books or slides but also including exercises) for learning R and Python relevant to academic uses in business and economics research! TIA #EconSky

Just to answer @erdaltekin.bsky.social‘s question: ESPE 2026 will be held at Aalto University in Helsinki on 11-13 June 2026. Looking forward to seeing your submissions!!

Anyone knows the exact dates for ESPE 2026? @davidajaeger.bsky.social

I remember an earlier discussion of this paper here or at the old place, about what creepy complier population we are dealing here with.

Today, the German Federal Election Officer released data on voting by age and gender for the 2025 election. Contrary to popular belief, AfD support is still not strongest among the youngest voters, but rather among the middle-aged (males). Support is also still much lower in older cohorts. (1/3) 🧵

Does anyone else observe increasing bullshitting with ChatGPT? I use it extensively to summarize research papers, but in several occasions over the past weeks, it just hallucinates a completely different paper than the one I provide, even if I ask several times. I did not notice this before.

Academia is cool because if you're doing it right, every paper you published in the last 3 years feels inadequate now that you understand the topic better, but it'll take 3 years to get out the version where you get it more right, and you get to do that until one day you die! Isn't that cool

Man muss sich klarmachen, dass alles, was Trump jetzt macht, eine Blaupause sein wird für die ersten AfD-Regierungen etwa im Osten Deutschlands. Ganz viel von dem Schrott werden die hier auch probieren.
