Fernanda Marquez-Padilla (El Colegio de México), @susanwparker-mx.bsky.social (University of Maryland) & Tom Vogl (UC San Diego) offer lessons for policy retrenchment worldwide: voxdev.org/topic/educat...

This week’s main story is about the budget and staffing cuts being made to public health agencies in the U.S. under RFK Jr.’s leadership, how those cuts will impact all of us, and some foolproof ideas for what scientists can do in the absence of totally superfluous stuff like, y’know, centrifuges.

3rd CINCH-dggo Academy in Health Economics Themes: “Causal methods in policy analysis and economics of child development ” The summer school is jointly organised by CINCH, the national research centre for health economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen, and the dggö, the German Society for Health Economics. The summer school will bring together a group of junior and senior researchers to share a week of expert lectures, research presentations, and special sessions. Expert lectures will be given by Professor Jeff Wooldridge on causal policy analysis and on the economics of child development by Professor Stefanie Schurer. Special sessions include a “Meet the Editor” session with Erdal Tekin, editor-in-chief at the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management and Professor at American University, and sessions on academic publishing, the academic job market, and speed networking with senior researchers. Each day will conclude with an attractive social and cultural program. Target audience: PhD students and early career postdocs working on health economics and closely related topics. Only 21 students will be admitted. Seniors speakers for special sessions: Kamila Cygan-Rehm (Technical University Dresden), Julian Reif (University of Illinois), Hendrik Schmitz (University Paderborn), Miriam Wüst (University of Copenhagen), Galina Zudenkova (Technical University Dortmund). Best Paper Award: A prize of EUR 500 and publication in the CINCH working paper series will be awarded to the best paper of the workshop. Registration fees: EUR 500. Fees cover lunches and dinners, and the social program—conditional on attending the entire workshop. Application: We accept all submissions aligning with our core themes. To apply, send your CV and a full paper to cinch.academy@wiwinf.uni-due.de . We strongly encourage female students and students from disadvantaged backgrounds to apply.

Se confirma la desaparición de la encuesta intercensal 2025: reparto de recursos públicos, al tanteo en siguientes años

La historia del levantamiento intercensal va en picada. Pasó de ser conteo a encuesta a nada. Es (era) la única manera de tener estimaciones sociodemográficas precisas sin esperar 10 años.

El INEGI acogerá más funciones sin poder mantener las originales.
