I am glad to share that my chapter for the Handbook of Cliometrics has been published – a special thank you to Claude Diebolt and Mike Haupert for the chance to be part of this prestigious project! In short, my chapter is on the use of computational text analysis (#ChatGPT) in Economics and Economic History research as well as a small case study by myself. It was such fun to work on this project, especially because I wrote most of the chapter during my time at the Centre for Digital Humanities at Uppsala University. You can find the chapter here.

Last weekend, I read Jeff Sutherland’s “Scrum”, and despite my initial impression of this being merely a popular buzzword, I must admit that the book actually contains some stimulating insights. However, I thought that it describes just the way that people in academia do their work, of course without calling it “scrum”. So, I took the PSM I test, and now I can call myself “professional scrum master”. Let’s see where this leads me to… Maybe to writing a book on “SciScrum”?

The Münchner Merkur published a feature on the German Council of Economic Experts, including some comments by myself. Link
