| Abstract: | In the present paper, we investigate the diffusion of agent-based models (ABMs) in economics using a quantitative approach to better understand how the introduction of this tool in economics influenced the structure of the field as well as research programs in recent years. Our analysis shows that the proliferation of ABMs has resulted in the emergence of diverse research subfields rather than one unified research program. Most notably, we highlight how interdisciplinarity plays a pivotal role in understanding the diversity of ways in which agent-based models are integrated into economics. While in some cases ABMs are used by economists as an imported tool to address disciplinary-oriented questions in dedicated subfields journals, in other cases ABMs are a vehicle for more interdisciplinary transfers and interactions (e.g., interdisciplinary co-authorship) that are more challenging to the traditional frontiers of economics. |

| Abstract: | The journal Energy Economics, a leading international peer-reviewed outlet for economic theory in the energy sector, celebrates its 45th anniversary in 2024. This article uses a bibliometric approach to present a retrospective of the journal's contributions. The study includes all publications from the journal based on data from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The resulting sample comprises 6, 563 documents covering the period from 1979 to April 2024. The annual publication rate increased by 1.02 percent, with an average of 40.07 citations per document. Institutions from the United States of America and China lead in the number of articles published in the journal. A co-occurrence analysis of keywords was conducted, complemented by a sub-sample analysis, to provide a detailed view of thematic development and evolution over time. Finally, the article highlights future thematic trends of the journal, offering insights for editorial guidelines and interested authors. |

| Abstract: | In this presentation, we provide information on PhD graduates using the Spanish university graduate placement survey from 2019. We identify who is more likely to pursue a PhD, and we learn about who decides to study it abroad. We also analyze the probability of PhD holders to follow an academic career, as well as the returns to study the PhD abroad. Our results suggest that those who like their studies and study for the PhD abroad are likelier to have an academic job. Living abroad also increases the likelihood of having an academic job, indicating that it may be easier to |
