"As his post goes on, his language gets older. 100 years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words" Fascinating. So how far back in time can YOU go?

This article is just bollocks, isn't it? There are lots of good reasons not to eat many Doritos, but the carbon footprint of the corn going into them isn't one of them, because eating almost anything else would be worse.

"Eliminating a few percent of the world’s warming is a big deal when the costs are so small. It seems insane to me that such a cheap solution is sitting there, completely untapped."
We could reduce the climate impact of aviation by ≈50% in a few years, and nobody seems to be taking this seriously!
Amazing, congratulations! 🥳
Maybe if I can show convincing diff-in-diff evidence on the popularity of Kaiserschmarn? 😄 Maybe something for the next research project 😋

Huge thanks to StW Bonn for supporting my research — and sincere appreciation for their thoughtful implementation and ongoing efforts to make dining more sustainable.
Can’t wait to be back in Bonn and make a well-informed lunch choice 😊

Screenshot of canteen menu showing carbon labels
In 2022, I partnered with the student canteens of @unibonn.bsky.social to evaluate the effectiveness of carbon labels on their menus. The result: Emission-heavy meat consumption decreased by 5%. Thrilled to see StW Bonn has now permanently installed the labels!
Informative, importand and readable. Worth your time.
ChatGPT's values, according to ChatGPT:
To collect income taxes, almost all countries require employers to withhold monthly tax prepayments which are then fully credited against the final income tax liabilities of their employees. Despite being a fundamental component of income taxation systems worldwide, the impact of these withholding taxes on labor supply is poorly understood. We investigate their importance in the context of married couples in Germany where the withholding tax liability can be redistributed between spouses. We exploit a reform that reduced the withholding tax for some married women more than for others, while inducing no differences in income taxes. Using administrative data for the full population of German taxpayers, we estimate an elasticity of labor income with respect to the withholding tax eight years after the reform of 0.14. Additional evidence from a self-conducted survey suggests imperfect understanding of the tax system and limited pooling of resources within the household as the main mechanisms. As the majority of couples shift parts of the withholding tax liability from the husband to the wife, our results suggest that the increased withholding tax liability of married women contributes to their low labor supply. This highlights the need for governments to be aware of the distortion of labor supply incentives when the design of withholding taxes does not match actual income tax incentives.
Hello #EconSky!
📢Excited to share my #JMP 📢
It provides a missing piece to understand how people react to income taxation.
Tldr: By changing tax pre-payments governments can - with almost no costs - increase perceived work incentives of secondary earners and reduce the gender gap.

What drives maternal labor supply - a key factor for labor market inequalities?
Gender role attitudes!
We use reduced form and structural methods to show that they are of first-order importance, both directly and through the mediation of policies (w/ Tim Mensinger)
