New paper alert! 🚨

What are the aggregate effects of NIMBY policies? How much GDP would we gain from building more in productive cities?

I show that how house prices are modelled matters for the answer. Most popular house price functions and microfoundations *underestimate* policy gains! #econsky

Right-wing populism rises with low-skill globalization but falls with high-skill trends, showing that skill divides—not globalization alone—drive political shifts

Do students respond differently to feedback depending on the evaluator’s perceived gender? We find that they push back more when the randomly assigned name of the evaluator is female-sounding --implications for women’s authority and credibility in educational and professional contexts!
