Friends, I want to tell you about new work with @FahnMatthias and @florastiftinger I am very excited about. The paper is called "Outside options and worker motivation" A short-ish 🧵

I have leftover funding for a PhD student for one year (ideally Sept '25 - Sept '26). Might be a good fit for someone wanting to delay going on the market. Please send interested students my way!

Today @UGlogowsky (@jku_econ) presented “The Parenthood Penalty in Mental Health”, coauthored with @AhammerAlex (JKU Linz), @HallaMartin (@WU_econ) & @TimoHener (@AarhusUni). They find parenthood imposes a greater mental health burden on mothers, leading to long-run gender gaps.

Proud that my very first publication is now out in the Journal of Health Economics! Couldn’t have wished for better coauthors on that journey 🥰 https://t.co/q851eVWwPH

My paper with @AhammerAlex is now live and available from the Journal of Health Economics: https://t.co/vk3qgPudUG Punchline: we find that more targeted screening for DI benefits has positive impacts for labor force participation and wages, without adverse health consequences

I'm on the market! I guess that means it's time for the long awaited JMP thread >> stay tuned until the end for a short summary video (1/8) My JMP estimates how clinical training affects hospital behavior in response to a change in financial incentives on quality

Using individual-level data to identify opioid users and to estimate the effect on health and labor market outcomes from a 2012 Austrian reform restricting benzodiazepine use, from @AhammerAlex and @analisapackham https://t.co/5qFOsPIrV9

A lot of opioid users are consuming benzodiazepines too. Should we restrict benzo prescribing to reduce overdose risk? New work w/ @analisapackham suggests: maybe not.

Habilitation von @AhammerAlex, @jku_econ mit „On the economics of health, labor, and risky behavior“, welche verschiedene Themen am Schnittpunkt der Arbeitsmarkt- und Gesundheitsökonomie umfasst. 📜 Herzliche Gratulation 🎉 https://t.co/UTUHt0rfkX

We're hiring a 6-year post-doc in applied micro, apply if you want to work with cool admin data!

@AhammerAlex and @analisapackham present work at 13th annual Econ of risky behaviors workshop (Croatia) showing that crackdown on potent benzodiazepine in Austria caused substitution to less potent benzos, increasing withdrawal, and worsening labor market outcomes. #ERB2024

A great start to the day! @AhammerAlex presents our joint paper on benzodiazepine use using administrative data on opioid users.

Akuter als Renaturierung erscheint mir jemanden zu finden der für das Ministerium englische Texte korrekturlesen kann

🏆 Congratulations to @AhammerAlex, @HallaMartin and Mario Lackner for winning the @CEP_WEAI Best Article Award for 2023! Read their open access award-winning article today: https://t.co/BD0rqfyP8Z

Super excited to share new work with Gerald Pruckner and Katrin Zocher (@zocherin)! The paper is called: “When women take over: Physician gender and health care provision” Let’s go on an adventure: a thread 🧵
