As someone who grew up with dubbed content and absolutely hates it, it is nice to know that my preference for subtitling over dubbing is well grounded in scientific evidence.

How much does out-of-school learning influence foreign-language acquisition? Our new analysis shows that historical national decisions to subtitle imported TV content systematically result in a large positive effect on English-language skills.

Photo credit goes to my favorite young artist — my nephew — whose rocket drawing has hung proudly in my office for years. Felt only right to bring it along for this new launch. 🚀
To everyone at @humboldtuni.bsky.social and the @rationalitycrc.bsky.social – thank you for shaping my academic journey in ways I’ll carry with me for years to come.
To my future colleagues at NEOMA: I can’t wait to get started!
Also a huge thank you to the CRC’s spokesperson and deputy spokesperson, @klaus-m-schmidt.bsky.social and @georgweizsaecker.bsky.social, for creating such a vibrant research community.
It’s also been an incredible privilege to be part of @rationalitycrc.bsky.social and its sub-project A05 on information transparency and consumer choice. Huge thanks to co-PIs Daniel Klapper, Martin Spann, and @dhguhl.bsky.social.
I owe a great deal of gratitude to Daniel Klapper, my PhD advisor, to Lutz Hildebrandt, my PhD grand-advisor, for their unwavering support and guidance; and to @dhguhl.bsky.social – exceptional mentor, co-author, and partner-in-crime in the search for the best coffee, spicy sauce, and memes.
It’s a rather bittersweet goodbye to @humboldtuni.bsky.social, my academic home for over a decade (OMG) – from Master’s student to PhD to postdoc. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work and grow in such a collaborative and intellectually generous environment.

📢 Before it becomes old news,
This December, I’ll be joining NEOMA Business School as an Assistant Professor in the Marketing Department. Thrilled about this new chapter – joining a dynamic academic environment and an inspiring group of colleagues – and looking forward to what lies ahead.
More to come soon — stay tuned 💬📊
Thanks to the amazing EMAC community for the inspiring conversations and the organizers for a great conference! #MarketingSky
Findings:
More attributes = more selective consumers.
More alternatives? Non-linear impact—consideration initially rises, then plateaus (well below full attribute consideration).
When things get too complex and involvement is low, people turn to extrinsic cues over intrinsic product attributes.
2️⃣ Meanwhile—literally simultaneously 😂—Alaa Elgayar was presenting our second paper.
We look at how choice complexity & product involvement shape consumers’ tendency to ignore product attribute information.
1️⃣ Ever canceled a reservation or just didn’t show up?
In industries with limited capacity, these pose a serious challenge. Together with @nemipuka.bsky.social, we study how no-show & late cancel fees on a multi-sport subscription platform shape booking behavior, attendance & churn.
Just wrapped an exciting week at EMAC2025 in Madrid, where TWO of my projects were featured!
A quick look at what I’ve been up to:
Another important element that the message by @cognomist.bsky.social points to:
Many people have already made very generous conditional pledges to 🇺🇦 via the website - pledges will turn into actual donations only if other people make new pledges, too.
This makes new pledges extra effective.
Very excited to see our paper on aging&cognitive skills out in the neuroscience section of Science Advances 🎉
@science.org
We show that usage of skills seems to be the key to maintaining them 💡
Great collaboration with my co authors E.A. Hanushek, F. Witthöft and @woessmann.bsky.social!
Details ⤵️
Great initiative!
What amount x (€) are you willing to donate if at least x others do the same. The highest common amount will be donated directly to Ukraine’s government.
Hi folks, a good day to join BlueSky! Here is my causal inference starter pack for you. go.bsky.app/Fa2XSDH
I was expecting to guess at least 2 out of 5, but I ended up with 0. I completely forgot what I was listening to on repeat (and how much) during the first half of the year.
Proud to be part of this fantastic team and excited for what’s ahead! 🙌
👥 Give my amazing colleagues a follow and learn more about our research at CRC rationality and Competition (@rationalitycrc.bsky.social)!
📢 Thrilled to announce that our CRC Rationality & Competition has been extended for the period 2025-2028! Huge thanks to the German Research Foundation (DFG), our incredible team, and especially our leads Klaus Schmidt & @georgweizsaecker.bsky.social! 🙌🚀

🚨 Timely and important new findings by Andrej Woerner, Taisuke Imai, Klaus Schmidt, and @ddpace.bsky.social in a new article in Nature Sustainability @natureportfolio.bsky.social.
👀 Which #CarbonPricing scheme garners more support?
LMU Munich, Osaka University
The political acceptability of carbon pricing largely depends on how ist revenues are used. In a new paper, Andrej Woerner, Taisuke Imai, Davide Pace, @klaus-m-schmidt.bsky.social delve into what makes the public more receptive to this environmental policy. 🌍 #EconSky

Have you heard of Lab Squared — a hub for replications and meta-science based at WZB Berlin?
👉Well, now you have!
📢It aims to advance the frontiers of replication and meta-science!

Preferences are indeed heterogenous. :) my personal favorite is Paterson. To be fair though, we can't really judge whether he is making good choices or not as we don't know what roles he is being offered and on what conditions.
Should you opt for incentive alignment & adaptive designs in your choice-based conjoint study?
Verena Sablotny-Wackershauser @marcellichters.bsky.social @dhguhl.bsky.social Paul Bengart & Bodo Vogt find in their recent JAMS publication that you should!

I am searching for a book (books) that can inspire very young minds (my 12 year old nephew) to learn Statistics and/or Economics. Any suggestions?
