"Ein Dozent mit bunt lackierten Fingernägeln, goldener Schleife und Israel Sympathisant, in den Vorlesungen Folien eine Intersex-inclusive pride flag einbauen , sehr schlecht und langweilig, den Stoff vermitteln, Kindergartenniveau , und dafür 5000 € kassieren, sollte von der Uni verschwinden!"

Apropos Gen Z food trends: Here are the experimental results of the following problem: you have vouchers for 15€. A slice of pizza, a glass of beer and a glass of wine each cost 3€. How do you spend your vouchers? Almost 20% would mix beer and wine.

Remember when Richard Branson went to space for fun? Or Jeff Bezos? How we admired them? So why are we bashing Katy Perry now? 🧐

330 Teilnehmer sind für (Pflicht-)vorlesung angemeldet, etwa 150 waren letzte Woche im Hörsaal. Knapp 70 waren diese Woche in den (ersten) Tutorien. Dabei hatte ich noch gar keine Gelegenheit die große Mehrheit zu verscheuchen!

Experiment in der heutigen Vorlesung #Mikroökonomik in #Bielefeld: paarweise Vergleiche zwischen fünf Fußballclubs: @arminia.de, SC Paderborn, VfL Osnabrück, @preussen06.bsky.social, @vfl-bochum.de. 90% transitive Präferenzen, hier ein nicht-transitives Beispiel.

Of course it is brilliant to sell, make the market crash by almost 20%, buy and make it jump up by 10%. This is how you make money, right? And who else would be ruthless enough to do it? Ok, it is illegal, and he has wiped out billions in retirement savings. But it was fucking brilliant. Obviously!

Today first "real" lecture on #microeconomics. Most important question: #Mars or #Twix? And what is your marginal rate of substitution?

Today's topic in my course in "academic writing in economics" 🖋️: "What's your problem?"
Successfully illustrated using the introduction of an old working paper of mine. Of course, they did not agree on what problem I might have addressed there. 😅

I don't need #tariffs. Here are my top three #manly expenditures to burn money: (3) flying first-class on short-distance flights. (2) playing poker. (1) lightning my cigar with a 500€ bill.

Not too bad a view from my new office. Right above the main entrance of #Bielefeld University.
