Tbh, I did not follow his career, so no clue. If somebody else had not pointed out to me who he is, I might have served breakfast and never known.

Well, the most minor celebrity interaction was requested. I also got Rihanna, Robbie Williams, the FDP trio (Möllemann, Gentscher, Westerwelle) and a bunch of CEOs and billionaires. I worked fancy catering jobs, while in school & army replacement service.

This predates the TV ad by many years. It must have been 2006-08 as I left Germany in the fall of 2008 for ~8years.

I once served breakfast to Ralf, not Michael, Schuhmacher.

Absolutely, if you know the field, which I hope editors do, don't invite people with a known conflict or from the same university, but it's mostly free labor... So referees and publishers (lol) should make it easier.

IMHO, I think one-degree is sufficient, but that may also interact with field-specific norms and whether reviews are blinded.

I hope we have enough trust in each other that people self-report conflicts truthfully and we don't make editors scan co-authorship and collegial networks to determine referees.

You guys don't do conflict of interest in sociology? I would always refuse to review papers by my co-authors or direct colleagues.

I am following my own advice here of letting local people know if you already traveled a long distance. If you are a health economist from outside Europe and you are already in Europe, for e.g. a conference, let me know.

Let me be clear, I have no complaints about the dentists or the daycare. They are doing the best they can.
comment in response to

Yes, occasionally "the city" shows up for e.g. dental check-ups. So the city dentists put a note into his backpack that he was not present today.
I mean this city has managed to not enter day-cares into their IT system so nobody could use them. Hence, the request for a reboot.

My bachelor material is mostly:
(1) this is important, here are some descriptives
(2) here are equations, now let's convert them into pictures and talk about it.
(3) there is empirical evidence for/against it
(4) here are the references, now go study them.

Absolutely, you can do a bachelor econ with very little equations/maths, but then the master is going to hit you hard.
comment in response to

Honestly, the world is complex, it sometimes helps to break it down into the econ theory/math to aid your thinking and come up with testable hypotheses. Nobody has ever accused me of being overly theoretical.

That's business economics ;)

I mean, I am joking, but this is an actual lecture slide from a lecture I gave a couple weeks ago based on an Acemoglu paper.

Julia: Your psych theories don't allow derivation of testable hypotheses!!
Psych: But, but, but we can aid your thinking!
Econs: Look how pretty our *simplified* lecture slides are. So many testable hypotheses and have we mentioned the lemmas. We have so many lemmas in the appendix.

"Unsere neue Kollektion von YIMBY-Stickern mit rechtlichen Hinweisen" klingt sehr deutsch.

p.s. Ich habe nichts gegen BW, aber bin generell für aktiveres Tourismusmarketing in Deutschland und so ein lustige "infights" wären, vermute ich, ein Gewinn für alle.

Ich warte noch auf den Ruhrpott, Berlin, etc. mit Stickern "Langweilig hier!" "Warst du schon mal in XXX".

Cool, but is there a way to submit events?

Get a child, join a daycare, have 70 unread messages about insect hotels incl. voice messages and you'll no longer ask this question ;)

If you made it, please follow the instruction to confirm your attendance, so we can finalize the schedule. /Fin

If you don't make the cut, don't take it as quality signal of your paper. Other things go into the decisions like whether we can provide a qualified discussant, taste, etc. 2/

Already suspicious that they refer to York University, without a link, while they probably mean the University of York (UK). York University is in Canada.

Oh, so that's not an obscure outlier, but a real thing in psychology?

PhD in parapsychology - how, why?

That was tongue in cheek. I got no energy for disputes about scientific discoveries from the past.

I would expect him to code binary. He doesn't need those crutches like us weaklings from the future.

It's staggering that he didn't invent state-of-the-art methodology... How did he get funding?

Afaik he did two studies, one was diff in diff, the other not. I think that's where the confusion comes from.
