Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free. Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

One of the perks of working in Stockholm and Uppsala is that there are so many great seminar series around. I just updated my page aggregating all econ seminars in Stockholm and Uppsala: jansauermann.github.io/seminars.html @iies.su.se #EconSky 📉📈

This is important. More than 700 Harvard faculty, with diverse views, have now signed a letter urging the university administration to "publicly condemn attacks on universities," "legally contest and refuse to comply with unlawful demands that threaten academic freedom" and +

The Greater London Authority have published a new London Building Stock Model, showing estimated energy efficiency (and many housing characteristics) for every home and residential building in the city. All data is downloadable and there's a cool interactive map data.london.gov.uk/dataset/lond...

Question for AI/labour people: do you know of a survey that asks respondents whether they use AI (consult AI platforms) for work/during working hours? Thanks!

In this ONS Research Excellence webinar Xiaowei Xu (@theifs.bsky.social) and I will present some very new results from our joint work on geographical mobility and social mobility. Interested in the topic? Register here ⬇️: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ons-resear...

It was great presenting results from joint work with colleagues @theifs.bsky.social today. Thanks to brilliant discussion from @xiaoweixu.bsky.social and to those who turned up and asked questions. In particular to the person who asked our wish list for the LEO data! 😅 It’s a long one!

Do you have suggestions on where to read an informed discussion about the new assisted dying bill in the UK? Thanks!

Hi everyone! Is there a starter pack for Gender Economics? Thanks!

#econsky I now have short slide presentation of my new work proposing a new definition of U.S. local labor markets - spillover-based local labor markets (SLMs). Slides summarize how SLMs are created, & bonus slides say what is wrong with CZs & CBSAs. research.upjohn.org/presentation...

Ok guys here's the point. Diff in Diff is a model based assumption that identifies the ATT (unless you're using random timing of rollouts, but almost noone is). It is model-based because you make assumptions to identify the OUTCOME MODEL in the *absence* of the treatment. 1/

I like this paper very much! These findings may also partly explain something I observe with admin data from England: women are as likely as men to move away to work but on average their mobility premium is much smaller

What a superb piece of research! Fascinating findings, and glad to see mine matched yours! To my shame I hadn’t read your paper beforehand or I would have linked to it, but I’ll make sure I rectify that error next time I write about the topic 🙏

Hej! Has anyone used the European Values Study (EVS) across several countries? I have a few questions and would love to chat with someone who’s worked with this dataset. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
