It has been a while since I've shared a #kayaking pic, so, here's one ... and a rainbow!

Fresh, colorful autumn forest and a Bratwurst (technically a Krakauer). Perfect combination.

Published in JoEG: REGENS: a new index tracking regional economic sentiment in real time, based on millions of geolocated news headlines.
Possibly the first up-to-date regional sentiment index linking media stories to regional development and Evolutionary Economic Geography.

Leaving for summer (but not yet vacation). I am already looking forward to coming back to my wonderful office at @unistavanger.bsky.social in August!

Will I ever be able to leave #Porto again? Flight cancelled yesterday, today's replacement stuck due to "bad weather"? Unreal. #RSA2025

Getting ready for the #RSA2025 in #Porto. I was looking for a smoothie, but eventually had to settle for a more traditional dish. @rsa-rsrs.bsky.social

With Torben Klarl, I’ve published the study "The long-term evolution of technological complexity and its relationship with economic growth" tracing the long-run evolution of technological #complexity in the #US over 170 years of #patent data.

Bad Kreuznach - well worth a visit.

Good morning! Fortunately, stock prices are not everything.

While boxing was never my thing, I’m grateful to George Foreman for providing me with my longest-lasting kitchen appliance. RIP, George.

Time to reduce our dependency from American products. Fortunately, the original German "burger" is way better than its American copy anyway.

It's been a super relaxing #Sunday. Getting ready for another intensive week! Enjoy your evening as well.

With some limitations (missing pretzels), the perfect (late) Sunday breakfast.

Taking the grinder apart and cleaning it did the job. Looks like some small pieces of wood made it into the coffee- I am looking at you #ALDI!

Morning shocker - the coffee machine doesn't grind the beans anymore. Let's see if we'll have coffee again tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed! #coffee #hope

95% of the top-30 under 40 #management scholars in #Germany are male - and it is not even mentioned or discussed by the reporting outlet @wirtschaftswoche.bsky.social. Just wow. #EconSky
