Delighted that my paper on Fixed Book Price across Europe is now out at JCLE (open access): https://t.co/AMK1A7iCG2

I use cross-country variation in the European book market to see the effects of Fixed Book Prices which often mimic Resale Price Maintenance policies.

@KingsELab @KamiarMohaddes Thank you for supporting such an inspiring initiative!

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

Our Annual #Entrepreneurship Essay Competition serves to foster #entrepreneurial mindsets in young students and to encourage them to engage with #innovative thinking: https://t.co/X4o3LajcDX. This year we welcomed over 200 entries from across 130 schools and asked the students to grapple with important questions facing those interested in entrepreneurship today.

In this #Mindsets piece, our @KingsELab Senior Associate @rys_williams explains the value of the competition, the themes of this year’s essay questions, and the strategies employed by our three winners.

#Mindsets is the weekly @KingsELab blog series edited by our Senior E-Lab Associate Sophie Harbour (@Dept_of_POLIS & @MECCambridge) and published online by @rys_williams (@Kings_College & @CambridgeJBS).

@KingsELab @CambridgeJBS Great event! Lots of insights from Gee on how Europe can improve its productivity, particularly by expanding market size through reducing intra-Europe barriers to trade

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

First day of interviewing prospective #economics candidates at the @Cambridge_Uni, together with the wonderful Elisa Faraglia, @BasihosSeda, and @rys_williams, and where better to do it than John Maynard #Keynes' old set (where he lived and worked at @Kings_College) and with a magnificent mural by Duncan Grant painted for Keynes in the background! Look forward to seeing more candidates tomorrow.

[Rhys Williams @rys_williams]

@CGenakos @KamiarMohaddes @Cambridge_Uni That would be nice!! Sign me up!

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

Great to catch up with @rys_williams today discussing interviews for next week. We are looking forward to meeting our undergraduate @Cambridge_Uni applicants in #economics!

Remember:

(1) take your time to answer questions

(2) if you don’t understand a question, ask for clarification

(3) we are not looking to trick you

(4) we want to help you to show your full potential.

@KamiarMohaddes @KingsELab @BAFTA @TheWebbyAwards Thanks all for a lovely evening

[Kamiar Mohaddes @KamiarMohaddes]

What an amazingly insightful and thought provoking participatory workshop at @KingsELab on the #AI revolution, and what it could mean for all of us (#socially and #politically) with the award-winning (including a @BAFTA, an #Emmy and eleven @TheWebbyAwards!!!) interactive film director @MartinPercy and alumnus of @Kings_College! Look forward to having Martin back at the @Cambridge_Uni for many more sessions 😀

At the E-Lab we always give books to the best questions from the audience and this time I had the pleasure of picking the books with Martin from our fabulous @Waterstones in Cambridge!

Thanks @rys_williams for organising and Eva Lemmy and Benjamin Warner for the interesting post-workshop discussion.

HUGE congrats to Emily Ennis from @LRGSLancaster for winning the #UK wide @KingsELab #Entrepreneurship Essay Competition!! 🥳 🎊 🥳

And also Big BIG congrats to Maxim Cartledge from @Tiffin_School and Keon Robert from Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet for being runner ups! 🥳 🎉 🥳

It was lovely having Emily, Maxim, and Keon and their families visiting us at @Kings_College this weekend.

We can't wait to publish their essays as part of our #Mindsets series: https://t.co/pbf9C7pRsH over the next few months.

The purpose of the competition is to encourage UK Sixth Form students to pursue #entrepreneurial aspirations and understand better how to launch an #enterprise. We are particularly keen to foster this entrepreneurial spirit among students who might not traditionally consider entering the world of #business and further hope this competition encourages more young people, who might not think about it, to apply to #Oxbridge and Higher Education. Please do help us spread the word, more details here: https://t.co/pbf9C7pRsH

The competition is run by our amazing Senior Associate @rys_williams (@CambridgeJBS) with the help of @thomroulet, @KateHerrity, Sophie Harbour, @MIBoddington, @newt_cc, Nadia Radzman, Ismail Sami, Siiri Ruuhela, Zarja Hude and many many more!
