Yep, the difference still shows in the small things ...

The only disappointing thing in this setting - a baguette.

The team! Hard to find another location with such a concentration of expertise in this topic.

No, it is not wrong, they really try to make it as comparable as possible. Obviously, there are a lot of deviations and approximations. Comparisons across systems are really difficult. I find it pretty interesting.

Der Index kontrolliert nicht für die Größe der Institutionen, d.h. absolute Größe ist hier die Kernaussage.

Imputed social benefits are added to gross salary. The imputation uses the standard contribution rates from the OECD Taxing Wages model (for a single worker, age 40, no children), applied to the gross salary.

164000 für eine Professur wirkt schon arg hoch, vor allem, wenn das ein Mittelwert sein soll. Leider verteilt sich die Methodik über mehrere PDFs. Aber vielleicht hat ja sich ja schon jemand durchgewühlt?

Next time you are in Stavanger- let me know and we'll make it happen.

The index shows promising lead (forecasting) relations with monthly regional unemployment rates and annual GDP. More importantly, it opens up new ways to trace economic transitions, local narratives, and policy-relevant developments.

Aber wenn es der Teamgeistbildung hilft? Wenn man den Gerüchten glauben schenkt, dann sind manche Weihnachtsfeiern ja eh gar nicht mehr so weit davon entfernt ;-)

Technically, I got one, but I rarely use it. I am an "office person" ;-)
