Bad news. It looks like Deutsche Post foundation will no longer fund IZA www.deutsche-post-stiftung.org/media/202502...

After 12(!) years and 12(!) rejected submissions, our theory paper on price effects in intertemporal models has finally found a home. It could be useful for rationalizing empirical results of dynamic behavior. Take a look! By the way, my daughter is the same age...😅 #econsky #healtheconomics
