Early exposure to #entrepreneurship increases the likelihood that women become entrepreneurs later in life. Women who follow entrepreneurial pursuits due to early exposure create highly successful firms. @mikkelmertz.bsky.social, M Ronchi, @vsalvestrini.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

I @politiken.dk: Andelsboliger i København er en lukket (familie)fest. @mikkelmertz.bsky.social, Gustav Milner og jeg viser, at fænomenet er så udbredt, at det ses i op mod 5% (!) af ALLE boliger i KBH. Til sammenligning: kun i få promiller i resten af landet politiken.dk/danmark/oeko... 1/4 #dkpol

Hvem får fat i storbyens billige andelsboliger? Vores forsker, @mikkelmertz.bsky.social, har besøgt ABF for at uddybe studiet, der viser, at andelsboliger i København og på Frederiksberg ofte går til beboernes familiemedlemmer. Læs mere: rockwoolfonden.dk/udgivelser/b...

Fascinating finding in this new JOLE paper: A new meausure of parental lifetime wealth correlates highly with parental schooling and consistently so throughout childhood. Parental schooling is perhaps a better proxy of 'permanent' family resources than many would've thought? #sociology #econsky

Happy to see our paper out. #EconSky

Forthcoming in JOLE: "The Impact of the Level and Timing of Parental Resources on Child Development and Intergenerational Mobility" by Sadegh Eshaghnia, James J. Heckman, and Rasmus Landersø www.journals.uchicag... @ChicagoJournals #EconSky

We are pleased to announce the release of Volume 5 of the Handbook of Labor Economics, edited by Christian Dustmann and Thomas Lemieux.

Det er lønningsdag - nyd det, men pas på jer selv derude! I en ny artikel viser jeg, at lønningsdage er forbundet med markante stigninger i antallet af volds- og seksualforbrydelser grundet forøget aktivitet i nattelivet. Læs mere her: rockwoolfonden.dk/udgivelser/v...

Vigtige forskningsresultater føles tit indlysende, når først de er præsenteret. Det svære er at få ideen, finde data og lave alt arbejdet. @mikkelmertz.bsky.social har fået en rigtig god ide og lavet en spændende analyse, der viser en stærk sammenhæng mellem ”penge mellem hænderne” og kriminalitet.

”For der går penge ind på torsdag, og wuuh det bliver fedt” fortalte Østkyst Hustlers. Men nu viser @mikkelmertz.bsky.social i @berlingske.bsky.social, at lønningsdage er forbundet med store stigninger i kriminalitet pga. den adfærd, der følger med: www.berlingske.dk/indland/naar...
