Well, that's a wrap! Final stop on the @eale_sbe tour done. Fantastic week travelling with @JonPiqueras and @RHelensdotter. Lots of good food, lots of good Economics, and only one train delay.

The weather in the UK this winter hasn't been conducive to a good attempt at the @the_econ5k but the gales (if not the rain!) paused on Boxing Day just long enough. #Econ5k
We haven't worked out a way to test this robustly yet, or perhaps there is another explanation that we haven't thought of. So any comments or suggestions are, as always, very welcome!
I really enjoyed writing this paper with @csingletonecon and Paul Telemo. We still don't have a definitive reason why wages in this market keep increasing after productivity begins to decline.
To study the age-wage and age-productivity relationships, @RachelEScarfe and @csingletonecon study professional soccer players. Wages continue to increase even after productivity has peaked and then sharply drops! @WileyEconomics #EconTwitter#soccer https://t.co/eYEhz28v35
At the WeLaR workshop on labour market supply, @RachelEScarfe (@EdinburghUni) discussed her research on the aggregate effect of casual work on labour markets. She shows that minimum wage policies play a particularly important role.
Action shots! This was a great session, the work @EliefV and Uma Rani have done on platform work is really timely and fills a big gap in our knowledge about new types of jobs.
The UNTANGLED conference session on platform and flexible work featured presentations by Uma Rani (@ilo), @EliefV (@ID_VUB) and @RachelEScarfe (@EdinburghUni) on job quality, digitalisation's impact on platform work in developing countries and long-term trends in part-time work.
This aged well. My train didn't even make it out the station at Edinburgh. So now sat in Heathrow airport waiting for a (delayed) flight to Brussels...
🗣️Join us at the WeLaR Workshop on Labour Market Supply at @HIVA_KULeuven! We will explore policies that encourage labour market participation & ensure that no one is left behind
