Friends, I want to tell you about new work with @FahnMatthias and @florastiftinger I am very excited about. The paper is called
"Outside options and worker motivation"
A short-ish 🧵
I can fund a PhD student for two years (30h/week, no teaching obligations). If you want to work with me and use cool admin data please apply: karriere.jku.at/engage/jobexch…
Our paper on the intergenerational correlation of opioid dependence found a great home at Health Economics. Here's the final version: dropbox.com/s/xxwg23p1l0pb… (w/ @HallaMartin)
Yes, we – @HallaMartin, Mario Lackner, and me – also wrote a #COVID19 paper. Ever wondered how much mass gatherings actually contributed to early spread of the virus? We look at county-level variation in NBA and NHL games, which comes exclusively from the leagues' schedules. /1
So they let me teach a class I called „The Economics of Sex, Drugs, and Crime“ @jku_econ. Has anybody taught something similar? Any syllabi for econ of risky behavior courses around? #EconTwitter
Friends, I would like to tell you about a new paper with @DGrubl and @EbmerWinter I am really proud of. It's called
