... just because I (and students/colleagues etc.) got asked: The kindness that the Barcelona GSE has shown me in appointing me to a research professorship doesn't mean I am necessarily going to return from Zurich to UPF. I am currently on leave, as is often the case with senior faculty with a new appointment, and have to make up my mind eventually. The school leadership made sure that if I were to do so, conditions would be nicer (for which I am grateful).
