@vicbar.bsky.social @ralphdehaas.bsky.social @paulinegrosjean.bsky.social & I Matavelli show that adherence to masculinity norms strongly predicts men's labour supply, risk-taking, health behaviours, and support for authoritarian leadership.

#EconSky
Graph showing a strong negative correlation between GDP per capita and unequal gender role norms. While economists have extensively studied gender norms affecting women, masculinity norms – the informal rules that guide and constrain the behaviours of boys and men – remain underexplored. This column reviews how such norms can shape economic outcomes in labour markets, health, education, households, and politics. Drawing on new survey data from 87,000 individuals across 70 countries, the authors show that adherence to masculinity norms strongly predicts men's labour supply, risk-taking, health behaviours, and support for authoritarian leadership.

I canceled a seminar at Berkeley 2 weeks ago. I thought perhaps I was paranoid but probably right. I now think I was more right than paranoid. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

The White House stated that USAID’s elimination would cause no deaths.

A top official said (verbatim), “I give zero f*cks” about widespread credible reports of deaths already occurring.

That official is incompetent. He did no analysis whatsoever of the death toll. Here is a serious analysis:
Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

"Appeasement at Munich: World Wars, Past and Possible"
The symmetry between Germany-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Russia-Ukraine in 2022 is uncanny, and pausing for a moment on the resemblances might help us to take a broader view of today.
