In Denmark, new mothers are quasi-randomly assigned to mother groups by nurses.
This new paper shows that being assigned to a group with a depressed peer decreases mothers self-reported mental health + increases mental health care uptake.
Fascinating!

In economics, editors, referees, and authors often behave as if a published paper should reflect some kind of authoritative consensus.
As a result, valuable debate happens in secret, and the resulting paper is an opaque compromise with anonymous co-authors called referees.

Cue that Lucas quote in 3…2…1
Today my eight year old was cheering and jumping up and down upstairs, so I went to see what he was watching on youtube and it was a video showing the GDP of countries growing over time. I asked him why he found it so exciting — he put two fingers on my chest and said “that’s none of your business.”

Glædelig international mandedag!
I dag går mine tanker ud til følgende figur fra @rockwoolfonden.bsky.social.
Mænd:
👉 Er et helt karakterpoint bagefter i gennemsnit ved 9. klasses afgangseksamen
👉 Får i MARKANT lavere grad børn
👉 Dør i langt højere grad af fortvivlelsesdødsfald

🚨 DID Paper Thread 🚨
Are you confused about which new DID estimator to use? A bit more than a year ago, I wrote a short paper that gives a simple answer.
I just completed a revision of that paper so here’s a 🧵 to celebrate!
