Nouvelle étude de @yajnagovind.bsky.social @paolosantini.bsky.social & E. Derenoncourt confirme l’importance du facteur discriminatoire sur le marché du travail en 🇫🇷. Les minorités racisées subissent de fortes pénalités salariales. Être né.e en France réduit ces écarts, sans les faire disparaître.

Racial minorities in France face substantial earnings penalties, with Middle Eastern/North African and Sub-Saharan African individuals most affected. This is one of the key findings of a new study by @yajnagovind.bsky.social @paolosantini.bsky.social & E. Derenoncourt. ▶️ wid.world/news-article...

💥 New: Italy’s citizenship referendum is a chance to align the country with the rest of Europe ✍️ @lorenzopiccoli.bsky.social‬ @yajnagovind.bsky.social‬ & @maartenpvink.bsky.social‬

Italy is holding a referendum on reducing residency for citizenship from 10 years to 5. It may well fail to hit the 50% turnout threshold (as most Italian initiatives do) as the right-wing parties are proposing an extension

Comparative data show that five years of legal residence is most common in Europe, eg France, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, UK, Ireland, and since 2024 also Germany. Here a peek into soon-to-be-released updated @globalcit.bsky.social data: globalcit.eu/databases/gl...

With the upcoming referendum on citizenship on June 8-9th in Italy, with @maartenpvink.bsky.social & @lorenzopiccoli.bsky.social , we discuss how this would be a crucial step toward aligning Italy with the more inclusive and modern citizenship regimes common across Europe!

On 8–9 June, Italian citizens vote in referendum to reduce the residency requirement for non-EU nationals to apply for 🇮🇹 citizenship from 10 years to 5 With @lorenzopiccoli.bsky.social & @yajnagovind.bsky.social in @larepubblica.bsky.social on why this matters firenze.repubblica.it/dossier/fire...

Happy to see our joint work on immigrant housing now published in the Journal of Housing Economics! With @simonvoss.bsky.social (@fu-berlin-vwl.bsky.social) and Marc-André Luik, we show how language skills shape homeownership outcomes—offering new causal evidence on immigrant integration. #EconSky

Hey #EconSky I would like to set up a microgrants for phd-students and postdocs in econ. I.e. microgrants for submission fees, conf fees etc. Q: Does something like that already exist? @climent.bsky.social @joshua-goodman.com @dynarski.bsky.social @ckronenberg.bsky.social

The Chagos Islands are home to Diego Garcia, one of the world's most secretive places and home to an important U.S. military base.

! major development: Italian gov restricts by decree transmission of citizenship abroad to 2 generations: From now on if you are born abroad only Italian if: parent or grandparent born in Italy. Or if parent has resided in 🇮🇹 2 yrs before you were born + other restrictions upcoming (see 🧵 & below)

How cool is this?! A behind the scenes seminar series on how an economics paper came about - all the invisible work that never gets into the printed version. First event on 17th of February. I am also looking forward to using the recordings for teaching. www.bts-seminar.net

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

My recent paper update got a fair amount of attention on here and so I decided to make a thread! The paper studies recruitment at major US and European multinationals to quantify the salience of hiring discrimination in access to top jobs and identify its source…🧵 (1/N)

🚨Out now: Our new OECD working paper on the gender wage gap and the role of bargaining and discrimination. 📄Read now: doi.org/10.1787/1fd6...

New paper out in #JDE! "What Matters for the Decision to Study Abroad? A Lab-in-the-Field Experiment in Cape Verde" Joint with #DavidCosta #PedroFreitas #GoncaloLima #AnaReis Read open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.jd...

Subjective assessments of culture or 'fit' often have an enormous class bias. New paper showing how personal interviews often allow employers to discriminate against minorities. soumitrashukla.github.io/research.html

Our latest research with Toman Barsbai and Christoph Winter is now forthcoming in JOLE! 📄 We explore how labor market conditions at arrival shape migrants’ integration, showing that arriving during recessions pushes migrants into lower-paying jobs—a persistent effect lasting over 10 years.

Now that we are (almost) all here and the year is coming to an end, it's a good time for a personal annual recap. 🧵 A thread of 5 papers. Keep reading for labor, migration, applied econometrics, double machine learning. (Coincidentally, I am looking for a job. #Econbsky #EconSky)

🗣️ Call for papers: 6th Workshop on the Economics and Politics of Migration, May 22–23 in Madrid Keynotes by the brilliant Leah Boustan & @deanyang.bsky.social Submissions due January 26th —> docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #econconf #econsky

Papers written by non-white economists receive 5.1% to 9.6% fewer citations than those written by white economists. This disparity is not attributable to differences in research quality, author ability, or visibility. However, this racial gap has declined by quite a bit in recent years.

#Econsky Any recommendations of good & easy to use Latex/powerpoint poster template?

Following up on early investments? Let me tell you about one of my papers on exactly this: We study a large government trial in the 1960s with preventive toddler care. Copenhagen assigned 10% of toddlers to universal nurse home visits not only in the first year (default) but also in year 2 and 3.

Really cool work showing how increased interracial contact in childhood (in US schools) impacts long-run racial attitudes! - Whites exposed to more Black peers in school end up living in areas with more Blacks in adulthood.
