I’m truly grateful for the collaborations, conversations, and support that made this journey so rewarding.

Now, I’m really looking forward to everything that lies ahead in my new role!

Nico Pestel @npestel83.bsky.social · 9d

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to work with many inspiring colleagues, co-authors, and friends in academia, especially at @iza.org and @roamaastricht.bsky.social.

Time for a new challenge. 🚀

After many rewarding years in economics, I’ve decided to take a new direction. As of today, I serve as Head of Division (Referatsleiter) at the State Chancellery of North Rhine-Westphalia, the executive office of the Prime Minister of Germany’s largest federal state.

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!

Oft wird behauptet, Umweltschutzvorschriften seien eine wirtschaftliche Belastung. Matthew Neidell und @npestel83.bsky.social zeigen im #PaperderWoche aber, dass solche Regulierungen die Produktivität sogar erhöhen. 1/

Grundsicherung, aber wie?

Ein neues Experiment belebt den Traum vom bedingungslosen Grundeinkommen. Doch es führt in die Irre, stattdessen braucht Deutschland endlich eine bedarfsorientierte Grundsicherung, die Arbeit nicht bestraft. Eine Anleitung zur Reparatur
