- Reposted by Jonas JessenBut we hear all the time that GDP is growing 2% or 3%, so how is that possible? That’s because the US population is growing (especially the adult population, age 20+) GDP has grown 2.3% a year since 2010 But GDP per adult only 1.3%

- A lot of attention is rightfully on gender inequalities in the labour market and, to a lesser degree, on inequalities in unpaid work ⚖️ But men falling behind in education and the lack of debate around this is also a big societal problem. Great paper 👇

- Reposted by Jonas JessenIch hab keine Ahnung wie man das Berliner Urteil einordnen soll/muss. Ob die Bundesregierung Recht hat oder nicht. Aber die Art wie jetzt von vielen die Justiz oder einzelne Richter angegangen/delegitimiert werden, ist nicht weit von dem entfernt was gerade in den USA passiert.

- Reposted by Jonas JessenI don’t know about the paper but agree with this being a *super* important open issue and the statement that worst case use is happening in schools. It will be key to promote the willingness to learn & think (which LLMs can help with) and not laziness (which LLMs currently seem to often do).
- Reposted by Jonas JessenHeute vor 80 Jahren hat das NS-Regime kapituliert. Nach einem Weltkrieg mit 60 Mio Toten und dem Menschheitsverbrechen Shoa. Warum nach den Erfahrungen des 19. und 20. Jh noch irgendwer glauben kann, Nationalismus, Rassismus und Extremismus wären eine super Idee, wird mir immer unbegreiflich sein.

- Somewhat unimpressed by this Italian hotel breakfast 🤔
- Sehr begrüßenswert, dass es ein Modellprojekt zu dem Thema Grundeinkommen gibt! Allerdings habe ich auch Zweifel am Erkenntnissgewinn der Studie: Ein "Grundeinkommen" für 3 Jahre ist einfach ein niedriger Lottogewinn (€42,200). Effekte eines permanten Grundeinkommens könnten sehr anders sein.
- Wie würde ein bedingungsloses #Grundeinkommen das Leben seiner Empfänger*innen verändern? DIW-Forscher*innen haben zusammen mit „Mein Grundeinkommen“ drei Jahre lang 107 Menschen begleitet, die ein monatliches Grundeinkommen von 1200 Euro bekommen haben.

- Reposted by Jonas JessenMit A. Schiersch habe ich aufgeschrieben, warum ein vermeintliches Nischenthema wie das ausgebremste #Forschungsdatengesetz bei den aktuellen #Koalitionsverhandlungen unbedingt auf den Tisch kommen sollte. Mit schöner Evidenz von Nagaraj & Tranchero (2024). Fakten helfen Politik & Geselschaft.
- Deutschland braucht ein modernes #Forschungsdatengesetz. Eine bessere Verfügbarkeit von Daten führt zu hochwertigeren Publikationen, die öfter bei politischen Entscheidungen genutzt werden. Die Vorarbeit für ein solches Gesetz hat die #Ampel bereits geleistet. Mehr dazu: www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c....
