When you get a tough question, the putting-hand-in-pocket-and-pointing-at-the-slides stare down always works! (it has never worked)
Cool music, love it... but is that an ashtray in the lecture hall? (end of the video)
Why didn't I sign up for the Writers in Paris wellness retreat?
Great stuff happening in Berlin! Look at our market design workshop at @wzb.bsky.social ! @rationalitycrc.bsky.social
I got some bread as complimentary breakfast in my night train to 🇨🇭. I wanted to give it to someone begging in the streets. However, looking at the prices, I am realizing the beggar is me.
I feel like I have missed out on promoting our most recent school-choice experiment here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
Economists can be a tough crowd... I won't have that problem because I am in the very last session of the conference and everyone will already be out being a tourist.
Schade, dass es wenige Länderpaare gibt, die in vielerlei Hinsicht ähnlich sind, sich aber nur bei Opt-In/Opt-Out unterscheiden. Man könnte aber z.B. Deutschland/Österreich, Estland/Lettland oder Dänemark/Schweden vergleichen
Peter Achim (York) was visiting our theory group in Berlin this semester. Fascinated by the sophisticated regularity of our lunch schedule, he had his wife (an illustrator) create the following flow chart of decision making.
Live picture of me sleeping so that I will make it to my own talk.
Please also show up tomorrow! We have another session remaining!!!!
"What did you do last week?" Elon Musk asked. Well, I am proud to say that I managed to do an incredible amount of work yesterday--despite it being a public holiday! I disassembled several houses, and I helped desperate passengers out of an intricate parking situation!
Our Monday theory seminar now comes with a walk and a piano performance.
Looking forward to the final day of our CRC retreat in Schwanenwerder @rationalitycrc.bsky.social
What's up Mannheim? If you don't have anything better to do, drop by tomorrow at MaCCI Annual! www.zew.de/en/events-an...
New submission, new draw 🔮🔮🔮 ✨️✨️The six of wands✨️✨️ I cannot tell you how ready I am to "accept the praise coming my way gracefully because I've earned it!" 😁
When you consistently point out the flaws in its mathematical derivation, this LLM breaks down quicker than any grad student. This is pathetic. It's 2025 and I still have to do algebra myself?!
I don't want to study Physics in Hamburg 😭 I just wanted to study the information provision in the dynamic assignment system and screwed up cancelling my applications 😭😭😭
I currently have a paper under review. Because I cannot wait for the decision, I downloaded a Tarot card app to get feedback that is about as random as a referee report. This is my card. Let's go! I can draw a card for your submission, too!
Terrible contest design at the World Blitz Chess Championship 2024. The top 8 players after 13 rounds enter the knock-out stage. All the 8 players at the top were paired against each other and almost immediately agreed to a draw. That is not what spectators want to see.
