Yet another desk rejection:

“A full review would only delay a negative outcome, which wouldn’t serve you well.”

Do you know what would serve me well? Referee reports. Even negative ones. Feedback is how we improve.

We've all seen it on #econtwitter: "Thrilled to share my paper was accepted at [journal]!" or "Humbled to receive [grant] among thousands of applicants..."

Does all this (humble)bragging actually affect productivity? @cubel.bsky.social, Ann-Kathrin Koessler and I ran an experiment to find out 🧵

No se si es mas preocupante que sea tonto o que se lo haga.
#EnDirecto | Feijóo dice que las horas trabajadas en España "han caído un 8,9% desde 2018" y pide "que valga la pena volver a trabajar": "Es decir, que hemos bajado la productividad. Hay más de 2 millones de trabajadores que desean trabajar más horas"

Barcelona fulmina el relato ultra y reduce la mayoría de delitos pese al gran aumento de la inmigración
La estadística de criminalidad del primer semestre de 2025 vuelve a mostrar un descenso de los delitos convencionales que ha sido la tónica en la capital catalana desde la pandemia

When do people choose to compete against standards of excellence vs. play it safe? Think promotions, grants, journal submissions. This is what my co-authors @cubel.bsky.social , Christiane Schwieren, Cosima Steck and I address in our new working paper "Against the Standard" (1/4)
