Cars were anti-city in the 1990s.

Cars are anti-city today.

And here we go! 😎

Excited to start my research stay at @columbiasipa.bsky.social! Looking forward to engaging with the community here and diving into new ideas in such a vibrant environment.

And what do we find? We estimate that being exposed to frequent high temperatures (above 30°C) causes an increase in total IPV offences of 6%. In fact, severe offences even increase by 36%!

⚠️ These estimates imply that around 1/3 of the seasonality in IPV offences is driven by high temperatures.

Previous research has linked high temperatures to several types of criminal activity.

And when we zoom in on IPV in Spain, we see a clear seasonal pattern: cases peak during the hottest quarter of the year. 📈

🚨New Working Paper🚨

"Understanding the link between heat and intimate partner violence”

Together with @juditvall.bsky.social and Laura Schmitz, we study how high temperatures affect intimate partner violence (IPV) in Spain over 15 years.

Curious about our results? This is what we find ⬇️

The current German government initially aimed at 15 million fully electric vehicles in Germany by 2030. But, as shown here by the great Open Energy Tracker team, this target is increasingly unlikely to be reached (see openenergytracker.org/en/docs/germ...)

"The Impact of Denying a Wanted Abortion on Women and Children"

Another reminder that "pro life" often means "pro poverty". Sadly, I am sure these (mostly male) judges sleep well at night.

Today marks the last day of my research stay at #FundacioIEB! Glad to have been able to meet so many brilliant and kind researchers and to work alongside @juditvall.bsky.social. This place offers everything a research stay must include!

Goodbye #UBEconomics building! 😎

Since I first heard of "non-promotable tasks" and how they are disproportionally executed by women, I see them everywhere:

Einen Appendix mit Tabellen/Graphiken wäre sehr hilfreich, um zum Beispiel diese Statistik besser im Kontext zu sehen. Topographie und BIP-pro-Kopf scheinen auch eine wichtige Rolle zu spielen.

Sehr spannendes Kapitel zur Bahn und deren Geschichte! Aber bei dieser Statistik den Vergleich nur zu Luxemburg, Österreich und der Schweiz zu ziehen, scheint mir schon etwas „cherry picking“.

On the bright side, Salamanca offers great indoor opportunities, too! 😍

Maybe not the best day to visit Salamanca after the Spanish Economics Association Conference? 😅

It’s hard not to feel powerless setting up candles while Jewish people in Germany increasingly face real hate & violence.

Great policy debate at @hertieschool.bsky.social in light of the recent Global Tax Evasion Report by @gabrielzucman.bsky.social and colleagues at the EU Tax Observatory.

One interesting policy recommendation: Do not only tax the rich. Go after their helpers: the consultants and lawyers.

Very fitting initial quote given that I’m about to start this book, my journey on this website and I’m sitting in an airplane ready for take-off😅
