tanti colleghi in università mi chiedono dove abbia fatto il liceo: che io abbia un PhD in economia con un passato da perito elettronico (e non da liceale) e che questo non sia neanche pensabile dall'accademico medio italiano parla molto di #merito

-Balance Tables
-Geo stuff like heat maps

Algorithmic collusion, cartel price markups, transfers in fiscal federalism, identity in environmental valuation, immigrant-native wage gap, bioeconomy.. stay tuned on what @UniHohenheim#Econ#PhDs are working on! Great seminar with @GiuseppeCappe @nadjadwenger & others.
