The Financial Times Quoted Bluesky Posts Published by Economists
Bluesky is becoming an increasingly appealing social media platform for economists
You probably heard the news that unless new financial backers are found, the Deutsche Post Foundation will shut down IZA at the end of 2025. It's a devastating development for economics and economic research in Germany, especially at a time when the Trump administration is severely censoring and defunding academia in the United States.
The Financial Times covered the story in the following piece.
Economists condemn move to close IZA think-tank
Bonn-based network will be disbanded in December after financial backer Deutsche Post Foundation pulls out
It's obviously not the main point of the FT piece, but it's notable that the piece quotes several Bluesky posts published by economists.
