Dear social scientists! Please direct me to data sources (not the least microdata) that are available to students at the undergrad and master's level. I have already LIS and ILSA (PISA, TIMSS etc) on my list. #econsky #economics #data

Very excited to start working on this project!
Another day, another reason to celebrate! SOFI researcher @orsakekezi.bsky.social is contributing to a new Forte-funded project led by Johannes Lindvall (University of Gothenburg). The study explores how the disappearance of professions affects political attitudes and voting behavior in Sweden.

Heartwarming: when Gothenburg City Library staff left for a holiday weekend, they forgot to lock the doors. Almost 450 people enjoyed free library access over the weekend, borrowing close to 250 books. No damage was done. www.dn.se/sverige/bibl...
Biblioteket var stängt – lånade böcker ändå
Stadsbiblioteket i Göteborg var stängt – men en dörr hade lämnats olåst av misstag.Över 400 personer besökte bibblan och 200 böcker lånades.– Ingenting
