In this small break of the JMP season, I really thank Alexander Ludwig for hosting my visit to Goethe University Frankfurt ✈️ I have benefited so much from conversations and seminars there! I am grateful to everyone who talked with me. The campus and city are also amazing 🖼️

Also looking forward to Laura Pérez Cervera talk next February!

EALE this year was exactly held at the building. I remember the gate, the wooden elevator, the classrooms…… It is really a tragedy.

My PhD desk mate will present her work on affirmative action tomorrow afternoon ONLINE. It is definitely worth attending!

The breakdown of Overleaf would be a good DiD shock to check the WLB for academics : ) Luckily today is also a nice day and good for going out.

Please submit your paper and hope to meet you at London!

I will present my JMP this afternoon on the EDGE webinar. It will probably be the last public presentation before submission : ) Here is the link if you are interested: bristol-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/93174489274?… Meeting ID: 931 7448 9274 Passcode: 444510

I'm already enjoying my (academic) life here! I will officially start a two-year postdoc at RHUL from July : )

How this policy affects UK universities’ research budgets? DiD papers are in the line😂 Far as I know, QM is severely affected.

I passed my viva without correction yesterday : ) Thank you all!

What an unfortunate news! I benefit a lot from IZA. The IZA summer school was a wonderful memory. Too bad younger students will never have this opportunity. I also wish one day I could be an IZA fellow. It also becomes an unrealistic dream now : (

I am happy to announce that my first paper has been published in Labour Economics! This paper studies the reallocation of talent in China following the abolition of the job assignment system and the expansion of higher education. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
