Does citizenship-acquisition improve labour market outcomes of immigrant? In the Italian context naturalised immigrants have higher socio-economic attainment and earnings. Yet, this is largely due to positive selection rather than the acquisition of citizenship itself: dx.doi.org/10.1111/imig...

Our paper with @gaiaghirardi.bsky.social is now out at SSR! Have a look if you are interested in social stratification and/or sociogenomics Below are the main findings and contributions 1/6 doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

“Income Volatility & Parenting Styles During Hard Times”: @gmari.bsky.social studied whether volatility affects parenting, finding it associated w/ ↓ warmth & ↑ harshness in families w/ ↑ incomes & the opposite in fams w/ ↓ incomes. @essb-erasmusuni010.bsky.social read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

Last but not least, M. Aprea presented a joint work w/ our @filippogch.bsky.social , P.Barbieri & M. Raitano using administrative survey linked data to investigate sibling correlation in 🇮🇹.

Interested in economic opportunities in a comparative framework? Our @filippogch.bsy.social shared a contribution (w/ P.Barbieri) on sorting mechanisms and wage stratification in the 🇺🇸, 🇩🇪, and 🇮🇹 adopting sibling correlation.

Great talk by @filippogch.bsky.social on the importance of family origin on wages in a comparative study of US, Italy, and Germany showing rather similar overall intergenerational inequality, but rather different mechanisms, #RC28

It’s Brown Bag Seminar’s time! 🏔️ For today #BBS, our @filippogch.bsky.social and M. Aprea presented new evidence on sibling correlation in 🇮🇹 (w/ M. Raitano and P. Barbieri) using administrative survey linked data! So much still to learn about mechanisms of intergenerational transmission! ✨

🕺New paper in @sfjournal.bsky.social💃 Family background shapes volatility too 💸 @kbkarlson.bsky.social & I find strong brother correlations in volatility—especially in US&DE, even beyond earnings levels! Thanks for the great collaboration! Open access 👉 academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

A new paper is out for our @filippogch.bsky.social ! 👏 Teaming up w/ @kbkarlson.bsky.social , they explore the impact of family background on income volatility in 🇩🇰, 🇩🇪 & 🇺🇸 using brother correlations! Check it out to learn more about intergenerational links! academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

🚩 NEW PAPER 🚩 Income volatility is associated with many adverse outcomes in today’s economy but we know almost nothing about how exposure to volatility depends on family background. @filippogch.bsky.social and I show … 1/2 #erc #sociology #EconTwitter academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

💡 My recent work with @mvaldes1989.bsky.social & @conteristo.bsky.social, published today (what better timing than International Education Day?), explores the relationship between low-emission zones (LEZs) and academic performance. Our findings?

Do family background shape exposure to life cycle earnings volatility? With the beyond outstanding @filippogch.bsky.social, I have paper forthcoming in Social Forces that addresses this question with brother correlations in volatility exposure in Denmark, Germany, and the U.S. #sociology

Introducing the Occupational Earning Potential (OEP) scale... OEP is a linear scale that measures the median earnings of ISCO occupations and expresses them as percentiles of the overall earnings distribution #sociology #socsky #EconSky #polisky bsky.app/profile/soca...

My 1st #PAA2024 was amazing! 🏙️ Had the chance to discuss discrimination (w/ @filippogch.bsky.social & Barbieri), singlehood (w/ @beatricecaniglia.bsky.social & Barbieri) and gender ineq. in paid/unpaid work (w/ @mattepiol.bsky.social) with great people (My surname sounds kind of fun in the US btw)

Do you know that women are more socially mobile than men in Southern EU countries, where institutional familialism and a strong influence of class of origin reign supreme? Any idea why? Take a look at our (w/ @zamberlanna.bsky.social ) take. sociologicalscience.com/articles-v11... 1/7

Successfully defended my PhD on Feb 23rd! 🚀 Thanks to the commission (@hermwerf.bsky.social, Michael Grätz & Vito Peragine) for the enriching discussions. Special thanks to my supervisor Paolo Barbieri for guidance & to all who supported me! 🎓 @csisunitn.bsky.social

New brief pre-print w/@filippogch.bsky.social! Using a novel decomposition approach (Yu and Elwert 2023), we study the role of childcare arrangements under age 3 on early social inequalities in children’s cognitive competencies 💫 Feedback is very welcome!

NEW: Generative AI is already taking white collar jobs An ingenious study by @xianghui90 @oren_reshef @Zhou_Yu_AI looked at what happened on a huge online freelancing platform after ChatGPT launched last year. The answer? Freelancers got fewer jobs, and earned much less

💥New in Sociological Science💥 Many researchers use panel data to trace outcomes over life events. They often estimate YEARLY dummies – which throws away valuable info on the exact MONTHS of events & interviews. We show how to turn the MONTHLY info into insight: 👉"There's More in the Data!"👈

Measuring social class Should social class and socioeconomic status be assessed using composite measures that combine measures of income, education, occupation, etc. or should these measures be kept separate? Two opposing views from recent papers here #SocialPsyc #Psychology #Sociology

Excited to share this joint work with Clemens Kroneberg, now published in Sociological Science. The article offers an empirical re-examination of the assumption that segregated networks foster the emergence of salient ethnic boundaries in the school setting. sociologicalscience.com/articles-v10...

Still in a state of shock over that the concept of explained variance in multilevel models is ill-defined, even if the paper making this point very clearly is almost 30 years old! 🤯 #sociology journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

New Paper 🔔 We look at the contrasting meanings of merit that elites in the 🇬🇧 and 🇩🇰 deploy when justifying their success. Co-authored with @aaronsreeves @chellersgaard @antongrau 🧵 below… academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

As someone who loves to cook (but often doesn‘t find the time 😔), this is super interesting!
