We just released our paper using a field experiment to reveal indoor air pollution (IAP) in London: It’s worse than you think! 🧵with six main results👇 With @sjroth.bsky.social.

Increased news coverage of immigration in France pushed people with moderate views toward more extreme positions, says @sschneiderstraw.bsky.social of the University of Exeter. We spoke with her about how the media polarizes viewers. #econsky www.aeaweb.org/research/med...

Dans cette tribune pour @theconversation.com, B. Michaillat démontre que l'idée d'un sentiment de "submersion migratoire" en France ne repose sur aucune réalité factuelle. Contrairement aux idées reçues, les Européens sont de plus en plus pro-immigration (1/4) theconversation.com/pres-de-70-d...

We use Danish administrative data and follow individuals from the start of their PhDs. Before having children, men and women in academia follow similar career paths. But following parenthood, we find that mothers are 15 pp less likely than fathers to remain employed as faculty at universities.

🚨 New WP Alert! 🚨 In 2010, Denmark launched a controversial policy labeling certain public housing areas as “Ghettos” based on high immigrant populations, crime, and unemployment. The goal? To change the socio-demographic makeup of these neighborhoods. Did it work? 🤔 (1/4) #econsky #econtwitter

This is *such* an important paper. Policy implications are key. As a field we need to do better at recognizing the importance of early connections (often unrelated to quality or productivity) on publication outcomes. In the long run ignoring those will make us loose out on talent and big ideas.

Dans notre pays, dans l’indifférence générale, on met fin à des contrats d’enseignants contractuels, faute de budgets suffisants. Le bruit courait dans les établissements depuis des semaines. Nous ne traversons pas une crise, nous vivons un effondrement. www.lemonde.fr/societe/arti...

L'étude de Batut Lojkine et Santini réestime le taux de syndiqués dans les années 1970 (plutôt 40%) et donc l'ampleur de la désyndicalisation, résumée dans ce PB IPP: www.ipp.eu/publication/... (exemple d'économistes qui s'aventurent sur le terrain d'autres SHS de manière convaincante)

Ce régime, aligné sur le minimum légal du privé, serait moins favorable que pour la majorité des salariés : - pour 70% des salariés du privé l'employeur complète la rémunération à 100% - pour 2/3 des salariés tout ou partie des 3 jours de carence pris en charge www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeur...

Parmi les mesures en suspens avec le budget 2025, la moindre prise en charge des arrêts maladies dans le public: - passage de 100% à 90% de la prise en charge du traitement. - passage de 1 à 3 jours de carence (non pris en charge) au début du congé. que peut-on attendre comme effet ? #enbref 1/n

How much has air pollution exposure changed in England since 2003? Check out our IFS report + interactive map to find out 🔍 - 54% fall in average exposure to PM2.5 - by 2023, exposure still 6% higher for ethnic minorities vs. white populations, and 8% higher for most vs. least deprived areas

🏢La mobilisation électorale en faveur de la gauche dans les quartiers populaires est parfois qualifiée de communautariste. Cela se vérifie-t-il? ❌Avec @thomasvondi.bsky.social, nous montrons qu'en l'absence du NFP au 2nd tour, les reports de voix vers le candidat d'"arc républicain" ont été massifs

Female content creators on YouTube received significantly more negative feedback for comparable content. But the removal of public display of dislikes eliminated this gender gap and persistently increased female creator productivity and consumer demand. sites.google.com/view/maritaf...

Has anyone seen a starter pack of academics in #population studies? And what about a starter pack of academics in #inequality?

Impressive research showing the persistent overrepresentation of high-income groups in U.S. elite colleges over a century 🇺🇸 This echoes my work on French elite colleges (Grandes Écoles), where admission rates for children of alumni first dropped but have then remained ~80x higher for 80 years 🇫🇷

For more France-related content: go.bsky.app/RhQLT3S Share & let me know who I should add :)

This is a starter pack in construction of French economists from @yajnagovind.bsky.social there is also the #EconFR tag if you want to talk about econ related to France
