First PhD paper (with Nico Stawarz, Heiko Rüger and Clara H. Mulder) now out #OA in #PSP: We explore the relationship between moving distance and income returns, finding that overall, work-related movers gain more when moving across longer distances💸📈

Comparative Population Studies welcomes submissions to the 2026 special issue Migration Trajectories Across the Life Course, guest edited by Sergi Vidal (Autonomous University of Barcelona), Aude Bernard (University of Queensland), and Riccardo Valente (Autonomous University of Barcelona). The proposed special issue aims to leverage a trajectory-based approach that fully accounts for the multi-dimensional nature of migration across time and space, providing deeper insights into diverse migration trajectory patterns and their long-term individual and societal implications.

Here's a starter pack for happiness/SWB researchers. It's a pretty small list at this point; I've mainly used profile searches, with limited results.
So, happy to add people by request.
