@cristobalotero Thank you, Cristóbal!

@f_meluzzi Well deserved!! Congrats Federica

Thrilled to have received the Young Economist Award from the Italian Association of Labor Economists. Especially honored that it is in memory of Carlo Dell’Arringa whom I had the chance to meet during my studies and who contributed to shaping my desire to become a labor economist

Super excited to start a new chapter at @Unibocconi and IGIER, where I will spend this academic year as a postdoctoral fellow (before moving to LMU Munich as an Assistant Professor)! Feel free to reach out if you are around and want to chat research/other! ☀️

@stnavdeev Crazy! Congrats, Stanislav! Super well deserved! ☀️

Honoured to have won the Best Paper Award at the Annual Conference of the European Society for Population Economics! I am truly honoured to be the first recipient of the ESPE PhD Prize for my paper “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization”. #ESPE

Europe's compute/AI/tech/innovation (all scale, cluster intensive) deficit cannot be solved without mechanisms to share the gains from concentration. Member states will demand their own data centers, ensuring fragmentation in an industry where scale is all. siliconcontinent.com/p/should-every…

Ok, i’m kind of proud of this.

@OlgaStoddard @QJEHarvard @kbuzard7 @LauraKGee Congratulations, Olga!

Thrilled to have found such a fantastic home @QJEHarvard for this paper w/ @kbuzard7 & @LauraKGee! tinyurl.com/5xkefck4
