Send your application to work on a very interesting ERC project about Elites in historical Germany with a great economic historian. Highly recommended!
I am thinking of making my DiD materials that I used for teaching in the last 5 years available.
I am hoping these would find begineers in need of a step-by-step opinionated walkthrough of several developments
Let’s see if I find the energy to do this!

In our recent paper we also have a simple theoretical model studying the incentives the landed elites had to emancipate workers, i.e. complementarity between physical capital and effective labour in manufacturing

My first post on bsky is not really optimistic but that's how it is. The results of PIAAC 2022-23 are out. PIAAC is a survey of adult skills measuring adults’ proficiency in literacy, numeracy, and problem solving. The main results are reported below. Really depressing from an Italian perspective.
Waiting for detailed instructions here
Congratulations!!!
We are now live in this place as well. Follow for updates on Economic History research from our group of curious economic historians and posts related to it.
