How do the measures in Baland, Cassan, Woitrin (2024) fare when tested on matrilineal groups ? Curious to know if they detect similar patterns for patrilineal vs matrilineal groups. On aggregate, we found non sig. evidence for daugther pref., which may come from the dif btw patri. and matri. groups

How expanding voting rights shaped politics in India

Voting rights alone did not transform political participation or competition in India, but they did shift government priorities in favour of the newly enfranchised voters.

I am looking forward to the papers measuring if there is a pet penalty. My (quite depressive) guess: much more gender balanced than the child penalty.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

The US has a weakness: its groveling, highly internationalized oligarchy Why is it a weakness? Because it’s a tiny number of people, who rely, for their wealth, on accessing foreign markets—thus giving foreign countries sizable power on them It’s now time to use that power 6/x

Hi #econsky, I'm preparing a new course called "Using Economic Tools to Solve Global Challenges". One thing we ask students is to read papers using different applied economics methods. What are your favorite papers using IV, DiD, RDD and Event Study for teaching? Thanks !!
