@startupecon @workshopefi @alminas @ProfSongMa @prof_wallskog @camhebert Research is what we love, and I loved it. Excellent idea to expand the reach.

@esojli @workshopefi @alminas @ProfSongMa @prof_wallskog @camhebert Really appreciate you presenting your work! We should try an "late evening on the east coast series" for our colleagues in your neck of the woods.

🤓What does an Australian academic do at 2am? 🌏Apparently: Present an online seminar to a global audience @workshopefi. Thanks @alminas for a great discussion and hosts @ProfSongMa @startupecon @prof_wallskog @camhebert 💤Sleep is overrated when conversation is that good 😎

@JustinWolfers The point is partially valid. Gold does have real value and is heavily used in electronics because it doesn't corrode or interact with other metals/gases. It's use will only increase as AI servers & high-end chips require gold for high-speed data transmission and heat dissipation

“Gold has no inherent value. It's a shiny rock... people buy gold because they think other people value gold, and that's a self sustaining equilibrium.”

@BetseyStevenson The insane actions in the shared post are why many are skipping travelling to the US altogether, including for major conferences.

I landed in London as a 20 year old college student with LSE housing that started 2 weeks later and nothing but a Let’s Go guide. While I had a coffee at the airport I decide which hotels to call first. This is what young adult backpacker travel looks like.

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: scim.ag/3WWWoSD

@ProfStefanNagel Depends on their prior knowledge/expertise ;).

Going through reviewers' comments for WFA 2025. R2: "... not particularly novel", R3: "... novel findings" 🤔

What amazing breakfasts we had for ECRs with Xavier Giroud and Caroline Flammer and for Women with Caroline Flammer. @AngelZhong17 and Andrea Lu facilitated great conversations on a wide variety of topics. Biggest lesson: follow your passion, know your goal and stick to it.

We also celebrated the awardees from the FIRN Women Conference: Danielle Kent for best paper and Susan Thorpe for best discussant @Sydney_Uni @sydney_business .

That's a wrap for #FIRN2024 @FIRN_AUS . A wonderful opportunity to catch up with the best research conducted in Australia, learning from Xavier Giroud and Caroline Flammer on frontier firm resource allocation & sustainability research. Thanks to @m_ramius for a great program!

#FIRN2024 session 2 is #philanthropy. @vansteenkiste_c presenting on self-serving philanthropy during M&As, @EmdadIslam6 on philanthropy along supply chain & Yuyang on self-serving director appointments after #esg incidents. Great discussions followed & check that gender balance!

First session of #FIRN2024 on 'Firm management'. Great papers on #CEO #overconfidence @DanDaugaard, environmental #externalities @wingwahtham @vansteenkiste_c , and family business groups with excellent discussions by @UNSW, ANU, and @UTS_Business, kept on track by @larellec

The calm before the storm! A 120 strong cohort will present, discuss & chair the annual @FIRN_AUS conf. Excited to see old, new and future colleagues in the 2-12yo semi participants! All paper 💭🐦from tomorrow ... can't wait! #FIRN2024 #familyfriendlyconference

Many Aussies on here seem to think tertiary education should be free, because of some combination of: 1. It used to be free. 2. There are social benefits. Both are bad arguments. (1/N)

The hometown of my colleague (Diego García) was devastated this past week with the flooding as you might have heard on the news. The whole town is facing an unimaginable loss. Apparently, 95% of the town lost their cars. They set up a GoFundMe to help. gofund.me/af4774d8
