Ich frage mich, was es mit dem Gewissen der Union macht, wenn wir mittags gemeinsam dem Holocaust gedenken und abends die Partei, die Hitler zum Fliegenschiss in der deutschen Geschichte erklärt hat, frenetisch jubelt.

Der Respekt vor Leben und die Verantwortung des Menschseins sind die Kernbotschaften von #MargotFriedländer. Sie, die als Holocaust-Überlebende allen Grund für Hass hätte, setzt sich für die Liebe ein. Und so ziert die 102-Jährige unsere Juli-/Augustausgabe, die wir genau diesem Thema widmen. Das Heft ist ab Samstag, 22. Juni erhältlich – das Cover-Interview lesen Sie jetzt hier ➡️ vogue.de/artikel/margot-frie…

Thanks for extending my trip to Scotland @eurowings!
But even though I really liked the trip — a flight or at least some more information on how and when I can get home from EDI to @dusairport would be great! #EW9365 #cancelled
Goodbye sunny Scotland!☀️🏴
Thanks to the cancellation of my flight I got a quick look at Glasgow, but also a short sleep at night...
Sitting on the plane now, I hope nothing more can go wrong 🤞🏻

The #tampontax #VAT cut for menstrual hygiene products was passed through to consumers by over 100% in Germany, especially in relatively competitive markets. This excess pass-through is explained by retailers rounding down prices after the tax cut.

In another paper (w/ @AlisaFrey), published in @ITAXjournal, we found that the VAT reduction #tampontax for female hygiene products was passed thru to consumers by more than 100% - tax policy can work! #InternationalWomensDay (3/n) link.springer.com/article/10…
„Demnach könnte eine erhöhte öffentliche Wahrnehmung der Thematik Hersteller und Händler in Zugzwang bringen.“
Auch am #Weltfrauentag verdient das Thema Aufmerksamkeit. Ich hoffe, dass nicht nur deshalb meine Vermutung sich mehr und mehr bestätigen wird!

Yet another Job Market Paper ‼️
I am an applied microeconomist. I mainly use economic experiments to study the behavior in markets & individual decision making.
My fields of interest: Public Econ, IO, Regulation, & Political Econ.
Check out my #JMP on tax competition:
(thread)🧵
2. There is
✴️more moral hazard at higher redistribution levels
✴️selection ➡️ high-income subject tend to choose the low tax, low-income subjects tend to choose the high tax
To study this, I use a supportive treatment in which the tax decision is randomly assigned.
