So happy to finally see my Job Market Paper published at the @j-humanresources.bsky.social ! 🙌
Culture shapes #FamilyInvestment choices.
@collinsmatthew.bsky.social found that having a brother reduces #Education for first-born boys by 0.05 SD in cultures where sons don’t inherit from their fathers. When sons can’t inherit, parents compensate with more education.

Free Primary Education is widely seen as a tool to promote long-term growth, but in a new working paper (🚨),
@eleonoraguarnieri.bsky.social, Helmut Rainer and I show that the effects are more immediate and wide-reaching, with FPE leading to reduced fertility and greater female empowerment.
