What’s the catch? As in, why is this not the default?

The answer is too country specific to be helpful if we don’t know which countries you have in mind. For example, AFAIK Isabela Manelici was able to get and link admin data from Costa Rica, but not Romania.

Been living in Denmark for 10 years and I can count on one hand, with fingers to spare, the number of tense encounters I witnessed (road rage included). I quite enjoy it.

In my first job as AP, I went to the university gym to sign up (everyone had to pay a fee, faculty more than students). I was asked in which degree cycle I was enrolled 😊 Take it as a compliment 😊

I wasn't even aware that Zotero doesn't move manually-added PDFs 😊

I am anal about how my PDFs are named so after drag-and-dropping a PDF in Zotero I always choose "Rename and move attachment" from the context menu -> Manage attachments. This adds one more step, but solves #2.

Is it worth it?

Maybe reach out and join projects *after* the job market? If applied work, could be interesting if the data are different, or if the empirical strategies are different.

Penn has a track record of this. In Economics, both Edward Prescott (2004 recepient) and Thomas Sargent (2011 recepient) were denied tenure. I think it's more of a badge of honor at this point 😊

It takes a few minutes. But yes, they do show up (my reply is 15h after your post, but it likely showed up in the feed earlier).
