Very honoured to have been interviewed by the London School of Economics and Political Science about my research. I talk about the big questions that motivate me and the joys of finding treasures in archives. Big thanks to @LSEnews! lse.ac.uk/research/resea…

@NoahWSutter spends his Christmas break reading "Midaq Alley". Naguib Mahfouz describes the (economic) life in an eponymous Cairo back street, teeming with barbers, innkeepers, businessmen, dentists etc., at the threshold to a new modern era. (10/10)

Once again, our department's PhD students met for the annual Book Secret Santa. Our students have proven that their reading tastes cover a wide range of genres, periods, and topics... Many of them feature a connection to economic history and economic themes. Let's dive in! (1/10)

Doing the PhD at LSE has been a joy and an honour. Graduated today. Many thanks to the exceptional teachers I had at LSE, including @phwallis @ndrlee @NJCummins @Armish15 @AFSEE_LSE, Francisco Ferreira, Jeremiah Dittmar & the superb PhD cohort @LSEEcHist. Now it's time to write.

One of this year’s #NobelPrize winners in economics is Joel Mokyr. What is his research about? HEDG group member @JuliusKoschnick is also doing research on the knowledge economy and will explain it to you in 4 easy points! 💡

Big day for LSE and Economic History! Philippe Aghion (@LSEEcon), Peter Howitt and Economic Historian Joel Mokyr were awarded this year's Sverige Riksbank (Nobel) Prize. On top of that, our recent PhD graduate (2024) @JuliusKoschnick has been cited in the scientific statement 🥳

We are delighted to announce that Olivier Accominotti, Leigh Gardner, and @ericbschneider have been elected as Fellows of the Academy of Social Science 🥳🎓 (1/3)

Some fine words from Claudia Goldin here - "Teaching is essential to my researcher, it is the handmaiden of my research. I could not have been a researcher had I not been a teacher." Thanks @EconHistAssoc for another fantastic conference, I love being part of this community.

Flying out to Philadelphia to present my PhD thesis at the EHA conference. Honoured and delighted to have the opportunity. So many thanks to @phwallis, who has been the most superb supervisor a PhD student could possibly ask for, and to the department @LSEEcHist. Thank you.

@VincentGeloso @LSEEcHist @NJCummins Thanks a lot! Let me know what you think! 🙏🏼

@NoahWSutter @LSEEcHist @NJCummins Yayyyyy I am reading this now!

Gave the first lecture of my life! As part of our summer school "The Economic History of Inequality" here at @LSEEcHist, I had the amazing opportunity to write & deliver a lecture on "Critical Junctures in the History of Inequality“. Huge thanks to @njcummins for the opportunity!

@NoahWSutter @LSEEcHist @NJCummins Put the slides!!!!

Had the great pleasure of presenting my research at this year’s World Economic History Congress in Lund, in the session on ‘The Political Economy of the French Revolution.’ What an amazing conference! Huge thanks to @EnguehardJoseph and Paul Maneuvrier-Hervieu for the invitation.

On a different note, we had another set of amazing papers in the Political Economy of the French Revolution session, which I was pleased to chair with Paul Maneuvrier-Hervieu

I‘ve just returned from 2.5 amazing months as a visiting PhD student at the Paris School of Economics. I am endlessly grateful to PSE for hosting me. I had inspiring conversations, met my academic heroes, and left with a head full of new ideas. What an amazing school!

Our paper now

Our paper with @fcinnio @HornungErik “Flow of ideas: Economic societies and the rise of useful knowledge” is out in print @EJ_RES🚨 In this paper we investigate the importance of knowledge sharing societies from the 18th century on long-run innovation. Read on for more -->

I had the honour of being admitted to the Freedom of the City of London by Lord Mayor, Alistair King. I am honoured to call myself a „Citizen of London“.

When in Vienna, I heard extremely nice mentions of this book by the German historian Onur Erdur, yet untranslated in English. It deals with the role of the Maghreb (and of otherness) in shaping the theories of Bourdieu, Foucault and probably others.
