Ser frem til at skulle holde oplæg om, hvad vi egentlig ved og overhoved kan sige om den sociale arv i uddannelse blandt indvandrere og efterkommere i Danmark på baggrund af registerdata for Arbejderbevægelsens Erhvervsråd i næste uge.

Just did the proofs for this short methods paper that I really like!
Not everyday you get to 'solve' a problem identified 30 years ago in some of the most widely used statistical models in #sociology 👀 - and with two super awesome collaborators, what a blast 🥳

Fascinating finding in this new JOLE paper:
A new meausure of parental lifetime wealth correlates highly with parental schooling and consistently so throughout childhood.
Parental schooling is perhaps a better proxy of 'permanent' family resources than many would've thought?

Cool new paper in JOLE arguing that there is no 'best' age for measuring parental resources when examining social mobility. It depends on which outcomes and which parental resources.

Do family background shape exposure to life cycle earnings volatility? With the beyond outstanding @filippogch.bsky.social, I have paper forthcoming in Social Forces that addresses this question with brother correlations in volatility exposure in Denmark, Germany, and the U.S.

Fascinating new paper by Bukodi and Goldthorpe, showing among other things recent growing educational inequalities by family background in West-Nordic countries, after marked declines in the first half of the 20th century.
