Very happy that tomorrow is officially my first day at Heidelberg University. I'm looking forward to what's ahead.

Getting an R&R from wonderful journals never, ever gets old! Time for a good coffee!

@anamorfosis Δεν ξέρω τι είναι χειρότερο…η αμάθεια (οικονομικός αναλφαβητισμός) των αναλυτών των social ή το κόμπλεξ και η ημιμάθεια των άλλων εγχώριων αναλυτών… ας κλείσουμε τη συζήτηση γιατί αυτά είναι γνωστά θέματα πολλών ετών που ποτέ δεν άλλαξαν, εγχώρια.

Οι αυτο-ανεφερομενοι μισθοί , όπως και πολλά αυτό-αναφερόμενα δεδομένα, χαρακτηρίζονται από non-classical measurement error. Κανένα από αυτά δεν αποτελεί ασφαλές συμπέρασμα επομένως. Τα admin data έχουν ίσως ακόμα μεγαλύτερα προβλήματα γνωστά στη βιβλιογραφία.

Την προσοχη σας λιγο, γιατι ελυσα 1 μυστηριο των μισθων στην Ελλαδα.

Ο μετρουμενος μισθος ανεβαινει αργα (5% ονομαστικα, 2-3% αποπληθωρισμενο).
Οι σταθερα εργαζομενοι ομως βλεπουν ταχεια ανοδο (5-8% πανω απο πληθωρισμο).

Κλασικο ζητημα συνθεσης δειγματος, εντονο σε μας ομως

@anamorfosis Δεν θα έμπαινα στη διαδικασία συμπερασμάτων (προς όποια κατεύθυνση) για τους λόγους που ανέφερα και είναι γνωστοί στη βιβλιογραφία. Εκτός και αν ήθελα να δαπανήσω χρόνο για ουσιαστική έρευνα σε αυτό και όχι descriptive analysis.

Τα έχει αναφέρει ο Jenkins αρκετά χρόνια πίσω ενώ κάποια άλλα λίγο αργότερα.

And while the 3-d printed papers Claude wrote has a rare right tail hit in their head to head, most of us do not build our careers off AER and AEJ, but rather at fields and second tier general interest outlets. 2/n

[scott cunningham @causalinf]

Take everything we are saying and instead of applying it to what editors at QJE and AER should do, ask what editors at Labour Economics, Health Economics, Econ Inquiry should do. Bc the Zurich project is about AER and AEJ. 1/n

Now ranked within the top 5 per cent internationally, Last 10 Years Publications, @ IDEAS/RePEc!

Happy that this happened so quickly, driven by research published in leading economics journals

Work on epigenetic biological ageing has a very large potential, beyond medical and biological literature, to address important questions in social science and the econ literature…

[David Sinclair @davidasinclair]

There’s no upper limit to human life

[Apostolos Davillas @ADavillas]

Taking rankings with a grain of salt... but for 2025, still 17th worldwide (last five years) in Health Economics, and 8th of those with Economics discipline. I’m deeply honoured. It’s more than I ever imagined possible...

[Apostolos Davillas @ADavillas]

I’m really happy that this happened so quickly, especially since it is driven by economic research published in leading economics journals.

🥳

Final reminder and very many thanks for great participation so far!
