Over the moon to have recieved a
@chessable
research award for my paper "Chess, Gender, and Tournament Dynamics" where I look at gender differences in dealing with failure and tournament re-entry patterns.
On my way back from the amazing Summer School in Social Economics and the ASE 2024 congress where I got to present some work-in-progress.
It was a pleasure meeting so many other junior scholars and hearing about their research!
Excited that I'll be spending the next three months
@KCLecon
. Thank you to
@sanpages
for making this possible!
If anyone has any London recs for when I'm not working on research , please tell me.
Had a great time (virtually) at the
@BathEconomics
seminar today! Thank you for the comments and feedback to all the participants and to
@cubel_maria
for inviting me.
If you are curious what you can learn from analyzing 200,000+ chess games, catch me on March 9 at King's!
For all the people at King's: you're interested in gender differences in competitiveness or maybe you're curious why someone would analyze 200,000 chess games?
Come to the Econ Brownbag seminar at 12.00 for my presentation on current WIP "Chess, Gender and Tournament Dynamics"
Closing the

The huge variety of topics really filled up my notebook and I'm grateful for the reading material for the 12h train ride back home

Could not agree more. Being part of the IZA was something to aspire to and there was a clear exciting vision for the future of the institute. This is a big loss for Germany
Still undecided what sessions to attend tomorrow at
#VfS150
?
Allow me to make a recommendation for your 15:30-17:30 slot: Our session on gender equality.
We've got a range of topics surrounding gender and amazing presenters!
You don't want to miss it
I will never shut up about how great my time at King's was. This place had it all: great vibes, great research and most of all great people.

Thank you
@PatrickNuess
for sharing your current research with us in the Applied Micro Seminar at Kiel University! Great data on how management opposition changes throughout the business cycle.
Now that it's May my research stay at King's College has officially ended. A big thank you to
@sanpages
for making it possible! This experience was absolutely life-changing: exchanging ideas with scholars on weekdays and exchanging pieces on boards on weekends. I learned so much
Excited for two days of presentations on topics of power, labor, and education in Vienna!
If you're interested in unpaid labor, swing by for my presentation in session 11 tomorrow π

Adjusting to life in London is going really well!
I borrowed a bike this morning and only has three near-death experiences because my brain couldn't handle the shift to driving on the left side.
Never again.

Ah, how to lose a guy in 10 days.
Nowadays all one has to do is say they prefer R to Stata. Would have saved Andy Anderson a lot of grief.
This paper exploits the shock of 20,000 elefants on regional tourism.

We argue the shock is exogenous because most thought the government wouldn't follow through (Meme1, 2024; Meme2, 2024)

Econ people obsessing over their LaTeX slides forever while I once saw an inaugural lecture by a Fields medallist who just went back and forth through ~30 tabs in his browser
I have to say heading to King's Cross and seeing Platform 9 3/4 between classes when grabbing coffee is still somewhat surreal.
11 year old me would not believe it.

Don't Worry Darling - the equivalent of beautifully and painstakingly typesetting utter nonsense in LaTeX. Yes, you think it's crap. But it takes itself so seriously that you question whether you might be the problem.
Are you a PhD student in the field of Quantitative Political Economy and looking into spending a term abroad? Look no further than

A PostDoc is now capped at 4 years (down from 6) and only if there is a path to a permanent position with your employer do you get 2 more.

@TDeryugina
Most "fun" part of new projects π. Figuring out how to wrangle data into something you can use. Bonus points if it's weird or unusual data that needs to be transformed first. There's something satisfying about getting everything ready to test your ideas.

It's to assess potential in Paper titles.
The iconic "Who Ya Gonna Call?" paper (by

@LauraKGee

about demands for parental involvement comes to mind. "What's trending in differences-in-differences" (Roth et al.) also made me chuckle.
@_AlvinChristian
Trade with me. No ideas but great at operationalizing π
In all seriousness, 1-2 days on literature to see how you fit in and that someone didn't steal your idea 20 years ago. Then data, do you have access (if not get it) and descriptives? Do the intial patterns look plausible?
I am irrationally scared to death of bees and one just flew into my office. Naturally I did the mature thing: ran away.
@PatrickNuess
I will be taking my meetings from your office today until it finds the exit and I no longer hear ominous buzzing.
One of our projects uses commands that came with Stata 18. So no one gets errors but everything runs I programmed a nice little statement to skip over those bits if your version can't run the code.
I used a different PC today and forgot all about thisπ€‘
Still undecided about your next

session?
Come to Room Bernstein for the graduate session on German economic policy issues! We've got a great lineup and you can learn about the evolution of unpaid labor in Germany.
I even have graphs (pretty ones too!)
For my fellow rowers:
I like to remind myself that there are worse things than trying to understand the newest DiD lit for my PhD and that there's a life outside of it.
Measures include racing 1000m in the German University Championships single scull event.
I've achieved everything I wanted on a Saturday
- Rowed / saw friends
- Made waffles
- Pet my neighbors puppy with coffee and fresh waffles nearby.
- Pet 4 other dogs
So incredibly productive.
So in the middle of proctoring an exam there's a guy outside doing vocal excercises (? he's singing "We are the world, we are the children" over and over).
That's a new one.

Two tricks:
1) Naming them correctly. Ideally the row columns will be named something like "CommonTerm_1", "CommonTerm_2"
2) Make a fictious "id" variable (gen fake_id=1)
3) reshape wide CommonTerm, i(fake_id) j(Common_Term)
drop fake_id

Just got asked whether I'd like to be part of a "unscripted chess related television series". I think that they misunderstood what I do.
Do I drop out for my chance at becoming a reality TV star?
