Happy to have been invited back to Edinburgh to present at a "Frontiers of Macro-Labour Economics" workshop in Adam Smith's house (and actual study!).

Bit nervous about the word "Frontiers..." there, given I plan to give a talk on a paper without a clear research question or any answers.

@jburnmurdoch.bsky.social discusses the dramatic collapse in the survey response rates. The UK's response rate below 20% is bonkers. And what is Romania doing to have a rate of 93.9%?

Apologies @uolmanschool.bsky.social -- I didn't get past the Carstairs Raileay Junction today. But hoping to still visit next semester.

I was meant to present my paper "Gamling on Momentum in Contests" today at University of Liverpool, Management School-- Center for Sports Business. But I was not allowed to leave Scotland by the infamous "Carstairs Railway Junction". Gutted... Who knew that moving North meant shitty infrastructure
