📰 Escribimos en @agendapublica.es sobre los efectos de la equiparación del permiso del permiso de paternidad sobre la penalización por maternidad.

“La ampliación del permiso funciona especialmente bien en hogares donde ya existía una cierta igualdad previa”

Some good news: my second thesis article is out in Journal of Social Policy! 🎉 @socialpolicyuk.bsky.social

I explore how Spain adopted a minimum income scheme in 2020 - despite polarized politics. The twist? (Left) parties, unions, and territorial politics matter.

A few weeks ago I wrote some somewhat intuitive but somewhat random hypotheses. Now I have the results and they follow my predictions to the letter.
