Does it take extra skills to work in a large city? 🌆
In this new paper, we analyse online job vacancy data and find that jobs in large cities require more skills and a more diverse skill set, indicating a higher job complexity.

"Urban Highways Are Barriers to Social Ties" out on PNAS!
The 1st large-scale measure of how highways weaken social connections between the communities they separate. This barrier effect is strong in the 50 largest US cities--especially for low-income Black communities.

🎉 New paper in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2408937122
Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.

Weak #institutions? Strengthen governance.
Strong institutions? Build political trust.
The economic formula for #Europe’s regions is clear: tailor reforms to context.
Governance drives efficiency & accountability; trust cements collaboration. Both fuel growth.
