Alessandro Toppeta (@sofi.su.se) shows that more school isn't always better: in Sweden, teens randomly tested after holidays show stronger non-cognitive skills, especially those from wealthier families. More breaks may boost development, but they risk widening inequality.

Planning applications are down but shifts to large projects mean units may not always be! @nikdatta.bsky.social summarizes our work ⬇️
This is an interesting article from the @newstatesman.com & @willdunn.bsky.social, which claims that a downturn in new planning apps implies planning reform may not fix the UK's housing supply. A few thoughts below from @amritakulka.bsky.social and me on the problems with this line of thinking. 1/n
Labour’s housing slump

Who is to blame for the lack of progress towards the 1.5 million target?

Gender norms are extremely persistent and constrain women's life opportunities, especially so in poor countries. In my Job Market Paper, I show that grassroots media are an effective policy instrument to address gender norms at scale. #EconJMP #EconSky
