To honour the memory of Ghazala Azmat, the Department of Economics of SciencesPo is creating an award in her name. Ghazala made important contributions in a large number of fields, spanning the economics of discrimination, gender, education and organizational economics. The award will promote work in those fields by young scholars. The first edition of this award will consist of a 5,000 euro prize for the best paper in this set of fields by junior researchers. The selection of the laureate will be carried out by a scientific committee composed of Pierre Cahuc, Alan Manning and Barbara Petrongolo. Eligibility for the prize requires that all authors have obtained their PhD after 1 September 2018. Papers written jointly with more senior researchers will not be considered. The prize will be awarded at SciencesPo during the event organised in memory of Ghazala on 10 December 2025. One of the authors of the prize winning paper will present the work at this event. Applications must be submitted by 31 August 2025.

Reminder that earlier naturalization leads to better integration of immigrants. Extending the period necessary for settlement in the UK will have exactly the opposite effect of what Starmer and the Labour leadership claim. "Migrants first have to prove themselves" is a nativist trope and bad policy.

How to incinerate 220 billion euros When the ECB, Brussels, and Markets All Looked Away

Today in Silicon Continent, the astonishing story of a "stimulus" gone wrong-- the 220 billion Italian superbonus. The ideas and the political economy of why it took off, and why it was unstoppable.

You guys need to wise up, you’re not dealing with conservatives or libertarians trying to implement conservative or libertarian policies. You are dealing with fascists trying to destroy the idea of the truth and replace it with the exercise of power.

OK. There will be a massive rearmament in Europe. And the simple choice is: as nation states, with the constant possibility of conflicts - or together. I hope that there are some politicians left who have understood the wisdom of a Jean Monnet.

It's such a weird thing to hear the news and think "that's bad, but also I have a paper about (an aspect) of that"

Funding delays are really not great for people who work in science. Funding delays of > 30 days lead to:

- 40% increase in scientists exiting US labor force
- 20% decrease in wages

The process of state building and long-run growth How did administrative reforms initiated during the French Revolution shape economic development over time?

State-building efforts that initially appear costly can yield substantial economic benefits, but only after decades of institutional development, say researchers at ENS de Lyon, Sciences Po, and Boston University. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/sta...
