Congrats Jonas!

I was also lucky to have @siljahausermann.bsky.social and David Rueda in my dissertation committee, who provided useful, detailed feedback.

I'm excited to continue my research as a Postdoctoral Fellow in Political Science and Public Policy at the LSE School of Public Policy.

Writing a thesis is often portrayed as a solitary process, but in reality, it is a collective project that would not have been possible without the intellectual and personal support of many people. I'm especially grateful to my advisors @benansell.bsky.social and @jrgingrich.bsky.social.

While earlier research suggested the gender pay gap was largely driven by course choices, as men and women took different subjects, the data indicated that men were more likely to prioritise a lucrative career and earn more than women even with identical degrees (3/3) www.ft.com/content/cb0e...

Male graduates are quick to earn more than their female peers, according to Financial Times analysis of official data, with a median annual salary of £34,700 five years after leaving university, 14.1% above the £30,400 figure for women (2/3) www.ft.com/content/cb0e...

This is mostly due to Spain having had a horrific week (Spain-only data below)
