Honoured to have won the Best Paper Award at the Annual Conference of the European Society for Population Economics! This is the first year of the ESPE PhD Prize, and I am truly honoured to be its first recipient for my paper “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization”.

Huge thanks to the jury, Arnaud Chevalier, Astrid Kunze, and Cheti Nicoletti, not only for selecting my paper, but also for their thoughtful and detailed feedback afterwards. I’m grateful to my advisors, @basvdklaauw.bsky.social and @hesseloosterbeek.bsky.social, for their support.

Now, here’s a little secret. Do you want to win a best paper award? Just put “Melting Pot” in the title. Totally causal.

Not convinced? Here are two other recent prize-winning papers: “The College Melting Pot: Peers, Culture and Women's Job Search” by @fmeluzzi.bsky.social “Does the "Melting Pot" Still Melt? Internet and Immigrants' Integration” by Alexander Yarkin Now you know the formula too. Use it wisely. #ESPE
