@alliancembs.bsky.social
I’m honoured to have received the Best Abstract Prize at the AMBS Doctoral Conference 2025.
I’m grateful for the incredibly supportive research environment at Alliance Manchester Business School, and the guidance of my supervisors - Amedeo De Cesari and Konstantinos Stathopoulos.

Seems like a good time to repost this:
I saw that on my Inbox today I did not need to read it to know the conclusions. I deleted my FB/IG in 2021, and I it was the best thing that I did. It improved my mood and productivity, and re-centered my attention on the real world at the expense of the make-believe reality of social media.
Polling shows that Canadians are intrigued by the idea of joining the EU.
But could they? 🧐
EU scholars say such a gambit is unlikely to succeed — but it's not actually impossible.
This guy is just sad.
weird how this keeps happening
His promotion of fascist and right-parties in Europe, strong “anti-woke” stance, and censorship in XTwitter is also due to his Asperger syndrome. The sane-washing in the next 4 years is going to be historic.
It’s a piece of fiction. He talks about a system that has stolen wealth from the people, but has billionaires in his entourage. He talks about the failure of healthcare and education, yet wants to abolish ACA and the Dept of Education. He boasts about the defeat of fascism, but has Elon as an ally.
Wild idea, but maybe the world would be improved somewhat if we stopped rewarding edgelords with attention and column inches
Someone should run an #RDD to confirm causality.
"It is a dream scandal for those **exploiting it**. Either they secure their demand for a new national inquiry, to then be further milked, or they can cry cover-up. And it plays to a ***wider agenda of smashing faith in the institutions*** of liberal society."
Highlights (***) are my own.
SCOOP: Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months.
Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's “sensitive content” policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content", Meta said they are fixing this “error” after I reached out for comment.
PhD SCHOLARSHIP ALERT!! Fantastic opportunity to work with Dr Silvia Avram & Dr Laura Fumagalli - using new data to understand more about households living in debt - with the Money and Pensions Service. www.senss.ac.uk/collaborativ...
If you have a #Facebook account, consider deleting it.
I’m glad I left that network 3 years ago.
🚨In Nature🚨
Meta is dropping fact-checking to avoid anti-conservative bias- but is there actually evidence of bias?
We this test empirically & find that conservatives
* ARE suspended more
* BUT share more misinfo
So suspension isn't necessarily evidence of bias www.nature.com/articles/s41...
**New working paper**
How does the under-representation of females in Economics affect the career trajectory of female Ph.D. students?
Sahar Parsa and I look at this in a new working paper by exploring sabbatical leaves taken by female professors at top-50 US Econ departments.
Congratulations on your work. It appears that hiring more female academics has both a direct and indirect effect on promoting gender equality in academia.
I’m not describing anything. I only listed possible problems that I often heard are associated with this growing movement of anti-equality. Although, as I have said, in another post the mental health is not only dependent on men.
The mental health problem has many complexities (e.g. see below). So, the solution is not 100% dependent on men. In addition, mental health is only one example of a problem. As I pointed above, there are several and some men - including youths - feel that they are being left behind by society.
Indeed, studies suggest marital tensions often rise when the woman earns more than her spouse - he feels devalued. Some men may also feel left behind in current discourse, with society neglecting issues like mental health, financial security, and others.
Although this is not my field of specialization, I congratulate you on the work. It is a very relevant study which should induce a very important discussion among academia and politicians.
Pleased to announce the launch of my official Bluesky account as EC Chief Spokesperson!
This will be another go-to space for important updates from the Spokesperson service.
Because communicating the EU to citizens requires diversification of channels and platforms!
Very timely, in my opinion.
Reminds me of a similar study, but for the VC industry: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
To sum: VC partners that have more daughters tend to hire more females. In addition, increased gender diversity improves VC deal and fund performance.
Very timely comment. Please, read the full thread for context, diagnosis, and policy recommendations.
And of course: The Tories who failed to implement those recommendations are still pushing for a national probe to "go beyond previous inquiries and focus specifically on the institutional and political failings that enabled the systematic and barbaric attacks to take place." Badenoch announced in the past hour the Tories will propose an amendment to the Children's Wellbeing Bill on Wednesday for a full national inquiry. It's a pitched battle with Nigel Farage to see who can get the most retweets from Musk on the issue, and at the moment the Tories look to be winning — even if Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ends up with the cash prize

This is so neat!
