The joy and honor of celebrating my dissertation defense with the two best advisors I could have wished for, @SimonWiederhold and @gerardrolanducb, will always hold a special place in my heart. :)

Using data from PIAAC, the world's largest international survey of adult skills, the authors show that people from more individualistic cultures develop stronger cognitive skills, invest more in education, earn higher wages, and face lower unemployment. #Econtwitter

I have been asked why I am so enthusiastic about the Nobel prize given to Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson (AJR) for their seminal work on the fundamental role of institutions in development while my own research with @ygorodnichenko has shown the role of culture, ..1/

Great news of the Nobel prize to Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson. I have been teaching their research for many years. Very well deserved. This is a crowning prize for the research on the role of institutions in explaining success and failure in economic development. A big Nobel!

@SimonWiederhold ready to submit the day your next CfP comes out.👏

It was a true blast having you all! On behalf of all organizers, we hope you will join us next year again.
