Great news!
IZA (the German labor economics institute that had lost its main source of financial support) has found a new home and will continue as a convener and disseminator of knowledge.
Hurrah!

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials

🚨🚨🚨Blockbuster paper out today! Bear with me as I explain why this one is so important.
🤔 The *economic* anger about immigration is based on the false notion that immigrants take jobs or lower wages. A major misunderstanding behind this view is that immigrants only increase the supply of labor.

Female PhD students (in economics) benefit tremendously from having female faculty around.
When female professors go on leave, it decreases third-year female PhD students’ likelihood of publishing & securing academic positions.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
