1. Summers knew who he was talking to
2. Summers clearly hoped to trade feedback and connections for sex

For some Italian bureaucracy, I had to dig out my phd thesis, and read again the dedication, which of course I forgot about.

Are you writing a reference letter for a candidate who is applying to Uni #Bocconi?
Please take 2 minutes to complain to faculty@unibocconi.it about their system.
Instead of using JOE or econjobmarket they have their own application where we have to manually upload the letter.

Totally agree with the diagnosis, not sure about the suggestion of the two track system. it might create weird selection and sorting.

we should change the reward and publication system.

I've been thorn about what to think and (not to) say regarding Kirk's horrific assassination.

nice reading, but I don't fully agree with the "changed forever" tone.
let's say that LLM and chatbots etc provide a similar change as the internet did years ago. Did college "change forever" after the internet? Or did it simply evolve to use this new tool?

"bravo, ma non per noi"
Mi lamento ma io sono fortunato, ho preso l'abilitazione in p01 e quindi me la posso provare lì.
Il sistema però mi pare abbastanza arcaico e con dei recinti che non rappresentano la suddivisione moderna e attuale degli ambiti economici. Micro? Macro? Theory? Applied micro?

Sara Hernandez is coming to Unibo next week. Her paper title:
"Guns N’ Roses: The Impact of Female Employment Opportunities on Violence in Colombia"
Took me a while. had to read the abstract to get it...
But I love it. 10 out of 10.

Great presentation by @paulhufe.net on gene-environment interplay between school quality and EA-PGI in the formation of reading and numeracy skills.
Results suggest that schools reduce genetic inequality in reading (but not numeracy)

Finding 3: The strongest predictor of feeling emotionally fatigued? How organizing duties are shared—not time spent doing tasks, but who manages them. It’s not the doing alone, but the managing and worrying that weigh most.

Finding 2: Mental load doesn't stay at home. Cognitive labor spills over into work.
Among employed respondents, 47% of women report thinking about childcare planning “very often” or “always” while working—vs just 13% of men.

Greater responsibility is *not* a source of satisfaction for women. Quite the opposite: it’s associated with greater fatigue and lower satisfaction. /6

Blue sky over Essen today, looking forward to present our work on how the introduction of the national health service (NHS) in the UK decreased mortality and how we can find evidence of this selection using genetic data from the UK and ELSA

This inequality is appalling.
To give an idea, most European countries are below 10 deaths/100'000 live births.
And the maternal mortality ratio had been decreasing almost everywhere in the world
