NEW PAPER w. Christian Gillitzer, Peer Skov, @jakobsogaard.bsky.social! We develop a new method to estimate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). In contrast to most earlier studies, we don't rely on (rare) quasi-experiments. The idea is simple... 1/3 #econsky www.iza.org/publications...

Latest paper on comparing intergenerational mobility of the kids of migrants with kids of locals in 15 countries. It has a very long author list so I feel like a real scientist at last. www.iza.org/publications...
