Your work besties literally make you richer. @jmessina.bsky.social, Anna Sanz-de-Galdeano, and Anastasia Terskaya find that same-gender coworkers boost your wages 2x more than opposite-gender peers. #GenderEquality at work = smaller gap. doi.org/10.3368/jhr....

"We now have a 50% tariff on Brazil, because it puts in jail its insurrectionists. And so that means for those of us who drink Brazilian coffee: Your next coffee comes with an insurrection infusion fee, as we try to support those who put the coup in coup-pucino."

Can #AI fix #PeerReview? In a new IZA DP @patpat.bsky.social et al. tested an LLM on 9,030 submissions. It ranks quality well but favors elite institutions, famous economists & men—while struggling to distinguish AI-generated papers from real research. newsroom.iza.org/en/archive/r...
