Paper is here. Demonstrates with a very large sample the same phenomenon we saw previously in a somewhat smaller sample in Ethiopia: list experiments can produce fleeing behavior that leads to negative prevalence rates

The answer to this excellent question from @kotsadam + Løvgren: yes! List experiments do not, in general, seem to be an effective tool for measuring IPV; we should not use them unless there is a convincing reason to think otherwise

Just reviewed for Mechanisms of Aging and Development, a respected journal w. IF>5, and found this in the acceptance letter: "This recommendation is primarily based on your esteemed standing in the academic community, rather than on the overall quality of the manuscript itself." What can you say?
#TeachEcon

This semester, I thought I’d share a bit about what I do in my microeconomics lectures. I’m not particularly active on LinkedIn, but I started posting about my teaching because I’m quite frustrated with how economics is often perceived at business schools. (1/n)

Update #2, RETRACTED: 15 months after we (w @ollefolke.bsky.social and @johannarickne.bsky.social ) submitted the initial comment to the Journal, we've noticed the paper was ultimately retracted. Retraction note here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

"It's the economy, stupid"

Voters vote based on the economy.

But there are many economic performance indicators. Which matter the most?

New preprint out with @aleksandermadsen.bsky.social, where we show that later-arriving childhood immigrants have lower earnings, are more likely to enter manual occupations, and are less likely to enter analytical and language-intensive jobs and be employed in high-wage firms as adults.
Do family-friendly hours make it easier for women politicians to participate in meetings? 🕚

Important paper from @anderskjelsrud.bsky.social and Sahar!
Female PhD students (in economics) benefit tremendously from having female faculty around.

When female professors go on leave, it decreases third-year female PhD students’ likelihood of publishing & securing academic positions.
