Maybe some are a little late? If you come @ElliotMotte’s talk this Wednesday you can have your say.

3/3 Special thanks to @SNageebAli and 3 anonymous referees for their tremendous and timely feedback on earlier versions of the manuscript!

🎉Persuasion often happens privately, behind closed doors, but its influence spreads via examples to larger networks and markets. So how should one optimally customize private communication behind closed doors? And who should one choose to target to influence a larger market? 1/3

2/3 Christopher Teh, @djthornton97 and I propose a theoretical framework to answer these questions and show how optimal targeted persuasion depends on the distribution of market influence among potential targets.

Canada announced the 64 chairs of their huge intl recruitment drive. Some major stars (we are bringing Ray Fisman to Rotman) so I was curious about what the nature of the hires way. 1/4

Chuffed to have finalised this paper with @benwansell, which he will present as part of a fantastic panel at APSA next week (link to details below)!

Fascinating paper by Healy et al.

[Jacob Edenhofer 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @edenhofer_jacob]

Glad to have this @CESifoNetwork working paper out — it’s taken a while, but happy with the first draft. More detailed thread to follow.

New paper w/ @hannohilbig : we examine how local exposure to the Great Recession affected politics over the long run.

Counties where unemployment rose more in 2007–09 moved toward Democrats, not the populist right. The shift remained visible in 2022.

@erinhengel Was told the same when going for promotion to A/Prof in Aus. "A/Prof i Aus is like Prof in US!" "Prof in Aus is more than Prof in US." Even wiki says so.

But what does it even mean? Surely we agree it is "easier" to become Prof at a random UK/Aus uni than at Yale. Am I wrong?
