🧵 In a recent IZA Discussion Paper, @stepanmikula.bsky.social, @tommasoreggiani.bsky.social, and I study how civic culture can persist—or even emerge—under authoritarian rule. In the IZA World of Labor commentary linked below, you can also find a short non-technical summary. #EconSky 1/3

🧵In a recent IZA Discussion Paper, @stepanmikula.bsky.social, @tommasoreggiani.bsky.social, and I exploit a unique historical experiment that unfolded in post–World War II Czechoslovakia to study the long-term drivers of the accumulation of social capital. 🔗 Download: docs.iza.org/dp17981.pdf 1/12

Without executioners, there would be no executions. Autocratic regimes rely on the legitimacy of their predecessors and the compliance of public employees at all levels. Democracy may not die in applause, but it certainly perishes through (seemingly) minor compromises with evil.

Takhle po dlouhé době otevřu článek na idnesu: "Důležité je, jak podpořit zájem pedagogů studovat PhD., což je pět let života." Fakulta zdravotnických studií Západočeské univerzity v Plzni. Jedna se o hodnotný příspěvek do diskuse o zřizování a nafukování regionálních vysokých škol.

Dovolil bych si jedno upřesnění. Navzdory zprávám o aktuálním dění v Brně stále platí to, že MUNI je univerzita, která jako přidruženou aktivitu provozovala kino. Opravdu to není naopak. Alespoň doufám.

I've posted several times about the working paper, but the publication on "AER: Insights" is a good occasion to do it again: immigrants to the US have been less likely to be incarcerated for over 50 years **even without controlling for demographic characteristics.** www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

For the following 4 years we will work on projects on health/labour/environmental aspects of population ageing and geographic/social peripheries. For these projects we are looking for multiple postdocs. Follow me and @econmuni.bsky.social here or check our website: www.econ.muni.cz/en/about-us/...
