#EconTwitter: what micro datasets on individuals/households are easily accessible for students to work with, e.g., for a Master Thesis? It's ok if they have to apply/register, but they are not typically employed at our chair, nor can we cover costs for data access. #followerpower

Some people (e.g., me) might be wondering about the role of fans at the #EURO2020. I looked at a few (6800) recent matches in 6 European leagues (in ITA, ESP, and 2 each in GER and the UK) in the last 3 seasons to check it out.

China drafts new tech #antitrust rules, targeting, among others: colluding algos, pricing below cost, exclusivity agreements, bundling, collecting unrelated consumer data, and -- yes -- price discrimination (Ch. 3, Art. 17)!
