There is nothing quite like the feeling of putting a nail through your PhD Thesis and feeling that you actually managed to write something substantial for the field. Next up is the public defence on May 11!

🚨 New working paper 🚨 In large cities, wages are higher. But so are inequalities. In fact, low-wage workers earn lower real earnings there. Why? What drives spatial wage disparities? Why some workers work at lower real wages in large cities?

This is bad. The US is going from having one of the better public data infrastructures to one of the worst in <3 months. Education, climate, and health data have already taken a massive hit, and with them research in these fields. Now Musk/Trump/GOP are coming after economic and population data.

Hade jag varit riktigt rik så hade jag sett till att alla medlemsföretag och alla som arbetar på medlemsföretagen fått en broschyr som berättar vad de betalar för att Svenskt Näringsliv gör, själva och via bulvaner. www.mi.se/forhandling-...

Skärmdump från den länkade artikeln i inlägget: Svenskt Näringsliv och dess medlemmar företräder arbetsgivare i privat sektor

Svenskt Näringsliv är en huvudorganisation som företräder arbetsgivare i privat sektor. De organiserar närmare 61 000 små, medelstora och stora företag. Dessa företag anställer drygt 1,9 miljoner arbetstagare. Företagen är organiserade i 48 bransch- och arbetsgivarorganisationer. Av dessa är 33 arbetsgivarorganisationer eller organisationer som har förenat arbetsgivar-och branschroll. Övriga är branschorganisationer. De enskilda företagen är medlemmar i medlemsorganisationerna och samtidigt medlemmar i Svenskt Näringsliv.

I'm not an R person, but I totally agree with this point: we're doing students a disservice by teaching them stata. Even worse if you're teaching at a public university: using public money to create consumers for a private company.
