Sehr schön! Das Open-Science-Thema "Publizieren von Null-Resultaten" interessiert!

Inflation im Euroraum überraschend gestiegen Die Inflation hat schon vor dem Nahost-Krieg überraschend angezogen. Zudem herrscht große Verunsicherung.

"Fiscal drag is quantitatively significant in European personal income tax systems and can have notable consequences for both equity and public finances, particularly during periods of high inflation."

Why every scientist needs a librarian Librarians can be key research partners who help to scour the literature, manage data and make science open.

"Climate policy is most efficient when emissions reductions take place where they deliver the greatest climate benefit at lowest cost. Today’s fragmented climate architecture prevents the efficient allocation of abatement resources, such as clean energy."

The figure shows the gender wage gap (the difference in average log hourly wages between males and females) in log points on the y-axis. The x-axis displays the gender wage premium gap, which is the sum of the sorting and pay-setting components. The diagonal lines represent scenarios in which firm wage premiums account for 10% (top line) and 40% (bottom line) of the total gender wage gap. Early explanations for gender wage gaps focused on human capital or career choices. This column uses data from the US and ten European countries to examine the role of firms. Across all countries considered, firms account for between 10% and 30% of the gender wage gap, mainly reflecting women being more likely to work at firms that pay less to all employees, irrespective of their skills. While men move to higher-paying firms as they advance in their career, women tend to stay behind. Women also tend to sort into low-wage firms in return for more flexibility in working time. The findings suggests that there is a case for complementing family policies with policies focused on firms.

Using data from the US & 10 European countries, the OECD LinkEED 2.0 Team analysed the role of firms in the gender wage gap. They find firms account for 10-30% of the gap, mainly reflecting women being more likely to work at firms that pay less to all employees.

The ECB's bid to strengthen the euro's global role As dollar dominance wobbles, Europe should boost the euro’s reach, led by bolder liquidity lines from the ECB.

In unserem Podcast sprechen wir mit @scinoptica.bsky.social von der @uni-saarland.de über ein Phänomen, das in vielen Debatten rund um #OpenScience mitschwingt: #OpenWashing. Was ist das eigentlich und woran erkenne ich es? Was sind die Folgen für Wissenschaft und Transparenz? zbw.to/CZFmZ

Interesting new study defining poverty from the joint distribution of income and time.

Die deutsche Innovationsleistung steht im internationalen Vergleich gut da, muss sich aber an die Dynamik der aufstrebenden Akteure anpassen.

„In der Wissenschaft stellen Frauen nur neun Prozent der Top-Autor*innen ökonomischer Fachliteratur, 22 Prozent der Leiter*innen von Think Tanks und 23 Prozent der Professor*innen an führenden Wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Fakultäten“ stellt @diw.de Forscherin @schaeper-clara.bsky.social fest.

‘Diverse teams and steering committees are essential for excellent research. We are delighted that more and more women are taking on leadership roles at the IWM.’ Prof. Dr. Ulrike Cress, Executive Director Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (IWM)

#WomenInScienceDay: Every year, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science reminds us that fair conditions for female scientists are still not a given worldwide. This is precisely why visible role models are so important – for young female scientists as well as for students and interns.

Welcome to #OpenScience Land
expedition-open-science.org This is a lightweight, but very useful and accessible intro to key elements of Open Science (online and as a PDF). Seems particularly useful for introducing the topic to undergraduates @zbw-leibniz.bsky.social

The figure shows the ratio of cross-border (across EU countries or US states) to domestic sales for the different datasets in the year 2017 in manufacturing. The level of cross-border relative to domestic trade is higher in the US than in the EU. European firms tend to be smaller and less productive than US firms. Qualitative and survey-based evidence suggests that one key reason is the remaining barriers fragmenting the EU’s single market. This column argues that gravity-based trade estimates can help quantify the problem but are sensitive to the data used. Intra-EU trade barriers are estimated to be between two to three times as large as between US states, with simulations suggesting that fully closing the gap with intra-US trade costs could raise EU productivity by nearly 6%.
