Very happy to be a member of the CESifo network. I had a great time participating in the Area Conference on Economics of Education last month and presenting my work (w/ Mathias Mørk) on the estimation of teacher value-added. Working paper coming soon (hopefully)!

🚨 REPLICATION REPORT UPDATE: One year ago, a tweet by John Holbein alerted me, @ollefolke.bsky.social, and @jopieboy.bsky.social to a paper with a shocking result about Sweden’s law criminalizing the purchase of sex.🧵
