Excited to join Economics for Inclusive Prosperity @econfip.bsky.social, an initiative whose members and goals I have looked up to since its foundation.
Also excited that our #EfIP policy brief (with @maxkasy.bsky.social) on #JobGuarantee and #BasicIncome is now out: econfip.org/policy-brief...
Employment is an effective integration tool, so early labour market access matters for asylum seekers. Long periods of inactivity reduce integration prospects and increase fiscal costs. @judithkohlenberger.bsky.social and I spoke about this to ORF:

Contributing to this programme was one of the best journalistic experiences I’ve had given the exceptionally thorough background fact-checking; a real testament to the quality of #BBC and #MoreorLess.
Reform UK recently claimed that the UK’s benefits bill would be much higher than in other Western countries. That's simply incorrect.
I spoke to @timharford.ft.com for #BBC More or Less about the actual cost of welfare.

Der Berufseinstieg für junge Studienabsolvent:innen ist derzeit schwierig. Gleichzeitig bleibt eine gute Ausbildung einer der wichtigsten Schutzfaktoren gegen Arbeitslosigkeit; gerade über den Erwerbsverlauf.
Mit der Kleinen Zeitung habe ich darüber gesprochen:

📢🚨 PhD position in my new "@welgain.bsky.social" project 🚨 📢
I am looking for a 🎓 PhD student 🎓 interested in impact evaluation, welfare programs, labor & public economics, social policy & inequality, to work with me at NTNU in Trondheim (www.ntnu.edu). (1/3) 👇
I’m hiring a postdoc! Flexible in terms of details, but I’m looking for someone to collaborate with on research about labor market inequality. I’ll review applications as they come in and the posting just went up here:

Aktuell subventionieren Branchen mit stabiler Beschäftigung jene mit instabiler Beschäftigung. Experience Ratings, wie in den USA, würden dies eindämmen.
Mit dem ORF habe ich über die aktuell steigende Arbeitslosigkeit in Österreich gesprochen: on.orf.at/video/143022...

Excited to be part of this project, where we'll aim to improve cost-benefit analysis of social policies over the next four years.
Thanks for leading the work, @robertoiacono.org!

Heute besuchten Finanzminister @markusmarterbauer.bsky.social und #JobGarantie-Initiator Landesrat @svenhergovich.bsky.social Marienthal, wo ich ihnen neue Ergebnisse unserer Evaluierung vorstellen konnte.
