@PHuenermund @fetzert @ERC_Research You mean ‘stop funding’ this kind of stuff…

This looks very interesting and useful. Sure I would consider it as a reading for a course on Fiscal Federalism.

[Jeffrey P. Clemens @jeffreypclemens]

In a new @nberpubs working paper, @stanveuer and I continue our line of research on intergovernmental grants. We provide a literature review of the role of intergovernmental grants in federal systems, as well as an updated look at US institutions.

@annastansbury @gema_zamarro I also hyphenated from the beginning: Albert Solé-Ollé, but others use just the first surname. Both are valid options, the important thing is time consistency. This is more difficult for women that take the husband surname after marrying (this does not happen in Spain).

Avui és un bon dia per recordar quan, en ple concert, algú va demanar a Springsteen que toqués You Never Can Tell. El que succeeix després és una delícia pels amants de la música.

En 2 mins i mig, Bruce prova diferents tons i la banda es llança a improvisar el tema.

Mireu la cara de plaer del Boss mentre la cançó pren forma al seu voltant. Músics de debò, sense moviments impostats ni autotune.

1. Super interesting new NBER paper on "Covid and Cities, Thus Far by Gilles Duranton & Jessie Handbury. Worth a quick thread on its main thrusts: https://t.co/JpZebMU8Vi

30+% of China's economy is tied up producing one good: Real Estate.

This should be confusing.

How can an economy with a shrinking population be that dependent on real estate?

Supply & demand. Demand is shrinking so prices must be falling

LOL... oh you sweet summer child

Bon Sant Jordi a tothom! 🌹📚

@monicambravo @CEMFInews Mol merescut. Felicitats! 👏👏👏

@jorgeghombrados @miguel_almunia Estoy de acuerdo en que es un tema menor, pero es indicativo de un problema más serio: parece no haber escrúpulos en la ciencia española. Igual que a unos pocos investigadores les parece bien ‘vender’ su nombre, muchos otros ‘compran’ publicaciones descaradamente.

[Albert Solé-Ollé @SoleOlle]

@sanz_ismael Cierto, pero es que desde CAT, se considerab que el atajo es la ANECA…Por ejemplo, llevamos años esforzándonos para controlar el tema de las revistas predatorias (mdpis i similares), tema que la ANECA parece no querer solucionar.

[Albert Solé-Ollé @SoleOlle]

@jorgeghombrados La ley es un desastre y seguro que va a tener consecuencias negativas. Sin embargo, alguna responsabilidad tendran tambien los departamentos. Nosotros, en la UB, tenemos muchos asociados, pero ninguno ‘falso’. No creo que esto nos vaya a afectar en absoluto.
