Dean Karlan's job at USAID was LITERALLY to improve the efficiency of its programs. DOGE is clearly not actually after cutting fraud and waste. And its actions will clearly make the US weaker while also making the world a worse place. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

How cool is this?! A behind the scenes seminar series on how an economics paper came about - all the invisible work that never gets into the printed version. First event on 17th of February. I am also looking forward to using the recordings for teaching. www.bts-seminar.net

Looks like the US government wants to move back to the time when (mostly) women had to publish under pseudonyms or through their male colleagues for their work to be seen. Then again, what will they publish without data or funding...?

Experienced PhD supervisors: what is your favorite question to ask during interviews? What do you focus on most in applications? How do you pick successful PhD students?

Finally deleted my Twitter account yesterday - it was good while it lasted, but no amount of positive outreach can outweigh the owner making Hitler salutes.

Today I got to talk to leaders at Novo Nordisk about why behavioral science is here to stay and how using the scientific method not just for R&D, but also within the organization is crucial for effective change. And, of course, how behavioral science can help with AI adoption.

My co-author, Alice Pizzo, is currently on the job market. And this week, she was on the front page of one of the major Danish newspapers, talking about our joint study (her job market paper). Check her out if you are looking for a environmental/behavioral economist. She is awesome!

Fascinating talk by Christoph Houman Ellersgaard showing that close to one fifth of the past and current Danish elite are economists educated by University of Copenhagen. Many econ professors also part of that network. That's higher concentration than US elite from Harvard or UK elite from Oxford.
