This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18
This is how it started on my 50th birthday in Melbourne 😇
Photos show some of my 350+ co-authors 😍
🧵1/ Our first meta-science paper (with 350+ coauthors) is published today in Nature. It presents one of the largest-ever reproducibility projects in economics & political science.
Here’s what we found 👇

Finally met my amazing co-author @ammapanin.bsky.social in person!
We had great discussions about research & great food & Belgian (!) red wine. Check out our handbook chapter with @jaredcrubin.com & Steven Pfaff on "Religion and Economic Development: Past, Present and Future" 👇 lnkd.in/ePsA-eEB
Significant day for UK trade policy. With the announcement of the EU-Australia FTA the UK now only has an FTA where the EU doesn't with Malaysia and Brunei as part of CPTPP. The EU meanwhile has a deal with Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay that the UK doesn't.
I ❤️ supervising PhD students. Thanks for nominating me for a Research Celebration Award 🙏
My research team (w/ Sam Bazzi, Eric Chyn, Martin Fiszbein, Thomas Pearson, and Pat Testa) is hiring a full-time economics pre-doc starting in May! If you know someone who might be interested, see the link below: workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/defau...
Also finding it hard to keep up with new research? I built something to fix this.

Frustrating to think that governments could have done the green transition practically for free in the 2010s and now here we are, worrying about oil prices again
If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Congratulations 🎉
Britain is highly unlikely to rejoin the EU in the next few years. But it finds itself aligned with continental Europe in many ways—including in its citizens’ feelings about the bloc econ.st/3Pe7QZ7
