📢 NEW PAPER!
Do teachers recognize stereotypes in the classroom? We introduce the Stereotype Identification Test (SIT) to measure this ability and explore whether it can be improved.

💥New Working Paper!💥 Women in Peru🇵🇪 spend 3 to 4 hours per day more than men in unpaid domestic and care work, regardless of their labour force participation. With colleagues @mcgill.ca and GRADE, we wanted to see whether beliefs about gender norms could help explain this pattern.

AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail

Elsevier has a 38% profit margin, and the other journal publishers aren't far behind.
"academic publishing is dominated by profit-oriented, multinational companies for whom scientific knowledge is a commodity to be sold back to the academic community who created it... The dominant four collectively generated... $12 billion in profits between 2019 and 2024."

A new generation, properly trained and empowered, can help reset expectations. Not by waiting for change from the top, but by bringing new norms into the system. It’s time to stop relying on the “bad apple” narrative. It’s the orchard, not the fruit, that needs tending.

If we train early-career researchers with clear rights and clear obligations, we build a generation that knows what to expect — and what to demand.
Because we failed to hold senior members of the profession accountable and that failure shapes the culture downstream.

Let me be specific: every graduate programme should include an Ethics of the Profession module. Not a token lecture, but a structured module covering:
• Professional conduct
• Research integrity
• Ethical collaboration and mentorship
• Teaching standards

The “bad apple” story has got a little stale.
We’ve spent years producing research on problems that are, in fact, systemic in #economics. We need a culture change movement across the profession. That movement has to start early. @aeacswep.bsky.social @resmedia.bsky.social @eeanews.bsky.social
Remember when Larry Summers made the lazy inference that fewer women in science means they must be less able? @mardelgiu.bsky.social and I wrote a paper exploring the consequences of this lazy inference for occupational segregation which we term the "Larry effect:" www.iza.org/publications...

🌟 First post on Bluesky! 🌟

I’m on the 2024/2025 #EconJobMarket! 🚨

My job market paper explores how the Army’s 1972 gender desegregation catalyzed women’s entry into male-dominated civilian occupations.

A new study by @ucl.ac.uk Equalise member @baowenxue.bsky.social, in collaboration with King's College London and @citystgeorges.bsky.social, reveals gender disparities following a major reform designed to make flexible working more accessible.

6/6 Illicit trade in cultural goods affects not just markets, but identity & heritage. Our paper shows how trade data can reveal these hidden flows—and why better cooperation is essential. Looking forward to your comments!
📄 Read here 👉https://doi.org/10.1007/s10824-025-09555-z

5/6 Policy takeaways:
♦️ Legal frameworks alone are insufficient!
♦️UNIDROIT 1995 is more effective than UNESCO 1970—but major markets (US, UK) haven’t ratified.
Enforcement capacity + international cooperation are crucial.

4/6 Findings:
☑️Gaps grow with interest in Italian culture 📈
☑️Stronger corruption control reduces gaps in regulated markets (sculptures, antiques)
☑️Archaeological property: post-2010 spike → linked to Arab Spring looting

3/6 🔎 Our contributions:
1️⃣ A new Cultural Salience Index (Google Trends data) to capture demand for Italian culture.
2️⃣ Gravity model of trade gaps, linking them to GDP, distance, corruption, and salience.
3️⃣ Assessment of UNESCO 1970 & UNIDROIT 1995 conventions.

2/6 We study trade gaps: the difference between Italy’s reported exports and partner countries’ reported imports in:
🎨 Paintings
🗿 Sculptures
🕰️ Antiques
🏺 Archaeological property
