An die Urnen, liebe Freisinnige! 💙 Heute noch per B-Post verschicken. 💙 Ab morgen per A-Post. 💙 Spätestens am Sonntag muss der Stimmzettel im Briefkasten der Gemeinde sein. Es wird knapp – jede Stimme zählt! Schaffen wir gemeinsam die ungerechte Heiratsstrafe ab. Sorgen wir dafür, dass sich Arbeit für alle lohnt. Und entlasten wir den Mittelstand um 600 Millionen Franken pro Jahr. Jetzt abstimmen! #individualbesteuerung #heiratsstrafe #abstimmungenschweiz #fdpschweiz

«Die Mitte tut alles, um uns diesen Erfolg zu verwehren», sagt Ständerat Thierry Burkart. Er war bis vor vier Monaten Präsident unserer Partei. Wie geht es ihm heute - und wie blickt er auf die bevorstehenden Abstimmungen? Unser Generalsekretär Jonas Projer hat mit ihm darüber gesprochen. Das lesenswerte Interview finden Sie hier: bit.ly/4aDzFT4

Steuern und alle staatlichen Aufgaben müssen so gestaltet sein, dass sie optimale Anreize schaffen für Arbeit, Innovation und Unabhängigkeit. Die Individualbesteuerung ist ein wichtiger Schritt dazu. @florencepaerli #Individualbesteuerung #Abstimmung #Ja #Verantwortung

📣 Submissions now open for #CEF2026 in Venice! 🇮🇹 🎤 Plenary Speakers: Tiziana Assenza, Michael Reiter & Simon Scheidegger 🗓️ Deadline: Mar 9, 2026 🔗comp-econ.com/32nd-cef-confe…

Warum entscheidet in der Schweiz der Zivilstand über die Steuerrechnung und nicht die eigene wirtschaftliche Leistungsfähigkeit? Die Individualbesteuerung durchbricht diese Logik und macht das Steuersystem fairer sowie zeitgemäss. open.spotify.com/episode/26V98v…

The first-ever Chapel Hill-Copenhagen Conference on Macroeconomics and Deep Learning will take place on September 3+4 in beautiful Chapel Hill dlmacro-conference.vercel.app! We are very honored to have @UncertainLars (@MFRProgram, @BeckerFriedman, @UChicago) as our keynote speaker.

Very proud to see "Deep surrogates for finance: With an application to option pricing" (joint with Hui Chen @MITSloan, @AntoineDidiML) in JFE @HECLausanneEcon @heclausanne @GRI_LSE . We develop a useful tool, e.g., for structural estimation. Paper Link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Can I do this in Dynare? 😁 @PfeiferEcon @JesusFerna7026

Very happy to see "Self-justified equilibria: Existence and Computation" (joint work with F. Kübler) in the Journal of the European Econ. Assoc. @JEEA_News. Link to paper: academic.oup.com/jeea/advance-a… Replication Codes: github.com/sischei/self_j… @HECLausanneEcon @heclausanne @uzh_df

@lucasian76 @YuchengYang1993 @uzh_df @glviolante @PrincetonEcon @FinanceatMIT @UNIGEnews @unito @HECLausanneEcon @heclausanne Yes. But with a slight different main focus - details and announcement will follow early 2026.

Very happy to see "Building Interpretable Climate Emulators for Economics" (joint work with @aryan_eftekhari, D. Folini, @friedlale, D. Folini O.Schenk) in the Economic Journal @EJ_RES @heclausanne @HECLausanneEcon . All codes here: github.com/ClimateChangeE…

Dynamic Programming by Thomas J Sargent and John Stachurski Provides a rigorous and unified presentation of recent advances in dynamic programming, along with code, algorithms, and many applications. 📚 cup.org/452So7L

New Dynare working paper (with source code!): “Scalable Global Solution Techniques for High-Dimensional Models in Dynare” by Aryan Eftekhari, @MichelJuillard, Normann Rion and @comp_simon. dynare.org/wp-repo/dynare… github.com/NormannR/HDMRi…

AND IT IS OUT! We have had enough reports saying Europe is stagnating. Change is not possible if we do not change the way the EU works. With Bengt Holmstrom and @competitionprof , I argue the EU should focus on prosperity and stop regulating everything. constitutionofinnovation.eu

@MahdiKahou @mean_field_zane Welcome. Tell the 2015 being „recent“ to my wife 😜

@comp_simon @mean_field_zane Thanks a lot Simon:) For me 2015 is still recent :D

This video demonstrates the neural network solution to the Ramsey–Cass–Koopmans model. Each frame represents an epoch of the optimization process. Code: colab.research.google.com/drive/1rFfqbJY… #OptimalControl #DeepLearning

@MahdiKahou @mean_field_zane I indeed have a bunch of GP applications since 2015:) For a continuum of agents, not tried, but should work. For high-dim problems, eg, sciencedirect.com/science/articl…, or here for OLG: academic.oup.com/economicpolicy…. Nonlinearities - deep kernels: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

@mean_field_zane I don't know if anyone has done it. @comp_simon has used Gaussian Processes (recently). He would know. :)
