Honoured to have won the Best Paper Award at the Annual Conference of the European Society for Population Economics!

This is the first year of the ESPE PhD Prize, and I am truly honoured to be its first recipient for my paper “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization”.

Finally presenting in a panel exclusively focused on international students with @morganraux.bsky.social, Michel Beine and Javier Sánchez Bachiller. Great audience at the Conference on Immigration in OECD Countries in Paris

Great to finally meet Alexander Yarkin at the CEMIR workshop on migration research after connecting online and to discuss his work. Germany hosts so many conferences, but DB train delays and cancellations are a challenge!

Thanks to the organizers for a great event!

A spot-on quote from Basit Zafar at the IZA workshop: “It's a new question in economics because we are the last of the social sciences to answer it.”

Big thanks to @ingoisphording.bsky.social, Pia Pinger, and the IZA / ECONtribute team for a great workshop!

Great to see the first chapter of my PhD published in the Journal of Public Economics (open access)

“Spillovers in Fields of Study: Siblings, Cousins, and Neighbors”

with Nadine Ketel, Hessel Oosterbeek, and Bas van der Klaauw

Had an interesting time on the jury for the Econometric Game 2024. It was similar to a replication event: 30 teams worked with the same data and research question. True to the nature of replications, each team ended up with different results.

Just published in Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics

“Balancing Study and Work: Heterogenous Impact of the Bologna Reform on the Labour Market”

EALE 2023 in Prague was stunning. Starting my piggy bank for Bergen next year - hope it comes with a discount on raincoats
