We also celebrated the awardees from the FIRN Women Conference: Danielle Kent for best paper and Susan Thorpe for best discussant @Sydney_Uni @sydney_business .
What amazing breakfasts we had for ECRs with Xavier Giroud and Caroline Flammer and for Women with Caroline Flammer. @AngelZhong17 and Andrea Lu facilitated great conversations on a wide variety of topics. Biggest lesson: follow your passion, know your goal and stick to it.
#FIRN2024 session 2 is #philanthropy. @vansteenkiste_c presenting on self-serving philanthropy during M&As, @EmdadIslam6 on philanthropy along supply chain & Yuyang on self-serving director appointments after #esg incidents. Great discussions followed & check that gender balance!
First session of #FIRN2024 on 'Firm management'. Great papers on #CEO #overconfidence @DanDaugaard, environmental #externalities @wingwahtham @vansteenkiste_c , and family business groups with excellent discussions by @UNSW, ANU, and @UTS_Business, kept on track by @larellec
The calm before the storm! A 120 strong cohort will present, discuss & chair the annual @FIRN_AUS conf. Excited to see old, new and future colleagues in the 2-12yo semi participants! All paper 💭🐦from tomorrow ... can't wait!

Many Aussies on here seem to think tertiary education should be free, because of some combination of:
1. It used to be free.
2. There are social benefits.
Both are bad arguments. (1/N)

The hometown of my colleague (Diego García) was devastated this past week with the flooding as you might have heard on the news. The whole town is facing an unimaginable loss.
Apparently, 95% of the town lost their cars.
They set up a GoFundMe to help.

Great summary by John, as usual! This is not looking good for academic jobs, in a year with a lot of JM candidates coming from post-pandemic delays/postponements and post docs. It's what I feared from my casual observation of FEN and ERN posts! Good luck candidates!

Per capita wage growth is not a useful thing. Try real disposable income per capita instead. It's up.
