Btw - the Python open source applied metrics tooling is growing rapidly. We now have: - PyFixest for HDFE regressions (github.com/py-econometr...) - marginaleffects for marginal effects (github.com/vincentarelb...) - maketables for regression tables (github.com/py-econometr...)

Does rhetorical othering affect the identity of the targeted minority? @teresafmonteiro.bsky.social, @hasagerlinea.bsky.social and I study exactly this in the context of Denmark's so-called Ghetto List. Using an RD design, we find that the Ghetto label triggered a cultural backlash

New WP: “University as a Melting Pot: Long-term Effects of Internationalization” Debates on international students often focus on capacity constraints, funding, or competition. In the paper, I show that the main effects of internationalization on natives are not academic or economic, but social.

In an interesting turn of events, US and Danish government came up with the same to help with the affordability crisis: longer mortgages! That has sparked some backlash. But in the US, it seems the discussion is focusing on the wrong stuff. Well, let’s try to learn from 🇩🇰.
