Not convinced? Here are two other recent prize-winning papers:

“The College Melting Pot: Peers, Culture and Women's Job Search” by @fmeluzzi.bsky.social
“Does the "Melting Pot" Still Melt? Internet and Immigrants' Integration” by Alexander Yarkin

Now you know the formula too. Use it wisely.

Now, here’s a little secret. Do you want to win a best paper award? Just put “Melting Pot” in the title. Totally causal.

A special shout-out to Olivier Marie, Erik Plug, and Dinand Webbink for their encouragement, good vibes throughout the conference, and great dance moves. And a big thank you to the many colleagues at @tinbergeninstitute.bsky.social, University of Amsterdam, @vuamsterdam.bsky.social, and EUR

Huge thanks to the jury, Arnaud Chevalier, Astrid Kunze, and Cheti Nicoletti, not only for selecting my paper, but also for their thoughtful and detailed feedback afterwards. I’m grateful to my advisors, @basvdklaauw.bsky.social and @hesseloosterbeek.bsky.social, for their support.

Huge thanks to the organizers, @woessmann.bsky.social and @caterinapavese.bsky.social, and the whole team at CESifo, for putting together such an inspiring event.

Now that I'm back in the Netherlands, it's time to celebrate this prize from a workshop in Germany with a Belgian beer.

Could you add me?
