One the left, the famous discontinuity found by Bertrand et al. (but here it is Mexican data) --> couples with an equal earning split are missing. On the right, couples where the women is at least 5 years older --> no discontinuity. (2/2)

One thought: the paper you shared speaks to a trend that has ambiguous empirical and normative implications: immigrants are more skilled than ever (1/2)

Meloni's immigration policy looks in some ways similar to what we saw in the 60s including attempts at keeping low-skill immigration "circular." Migrants eventually settled and brought their families over. Does anyone know what Meloni has been up to re:family migration?

Is it mostly Vance pushing on the antitrust front? The combination with pro-tech / anti-EU economic nationalism is fascinating.

@clarasievert.bsky.social brought this great piece of research on Ghana and Indonesia to my attention. Anybody knows of something similar for Western Europe, measuring the impact of introducing public pensions / social insurance on gendered / familial institutions of social solidarity?

Child development is fascinating: in this study half of 5 year olds prefer a "1 for me, 0 for you" split over a "2 for me, 2 for you." Split. Two years later, this "preference" for relative advantage is gone.

Interesting research note: uses chatGPT to capture change in French parliamentary discourse from less to more "emotional." Another interesting symptom of weak party systems (check the 2017 timing)?

In my course on US policymaking for Pub Pol undergrads, I have a section that I pitch as "why going to law school does not mean you are giving up on policymaking." It includes Kagan's Adversarial Legalism. Below find two new excellent articles on the topic (both in last issue of Perspectives)

This year's APSA was bonkers in a good way:
1) awards
2) people using concepts from the books in talks and comments
3) grad students reaching out about amazing, super-relevant projects.
It takes a decades for things to come to fruition. Now to the next project, see you all in 10 years 😱😂

My favorite graph is this one: the survey question is “do you super equal pay for equal work.” The graph plots the share of women for a given response category, varying the MS. (3/5 )

It's awards nomination season! Become a member of the Class & Inequality APSA section (if you are not already) and nominate your doctoral work. Christopher, Mallory and I will have the honor to read it. See nomination instructions here: connect.apsanet.org/s45/awards/

I am not an expert so can't evaluate the method but Italy, dam. I am surprised the Far Right is not even stronger there ...

This paper is a very interesting read for those who know of the MTA experiment. Same treatment but, given that concentrated poverty looks very different in FR, a similarly different type of spatial mobility.

Just finished reading Racecraft by Fields and Fields. It partly reads as an indictment of work at the intersection of social psychology and race and ethnic studies. Kind of curious what folks working in that space think of the book? Was it discussed much when it came out?
