📊 Is income alone enough to measure poverty? New research introduces a trivariate method combining income, unpaid work, and leisure – revealing “hidden” poverty missed by standard measures, especially among women. 🔗 berlinschoolofeconomics.de/about-us/new... #PovertyMeasurement #TimeUse
Time-use and Income: A Trivariate Relative Poverty Surface
by Franziska Dorn, Kim Sarah Meier, and Simone Maxand Focus and Research Question: 

The paper asks how poverty measurement changes when we include not only income, but also time use – especially unpaid work (care, housework) and leisure. It argues that income-only measures can miss important forms of deprivation and develops non-parametric methods to estimate multidimensional poverty thresholds. Core Idea:
 
Living standards depend on a bundle of money and time: households can sometimes compensate low income with more unpaid work, or compensate time scarcity with spending. The study, therefore, treats poverty as a problem of constrained income–time combinations, not just low income. Data: 
The authors use Mexico’s nationally representative 2018 ENIGH survey, which includes income, unpaid work time, and self-reported leisure time. This allows both household-level and individual-level poverty analysis.

This paper is very close to my heart on many fronts: my first @feministeconomics.bsky.social paper, my first collaboration with my beloved co-author Prof. Ilkkaracan, from whom I learn big time and enjoy working with, and we wrote the first draft while I was pregnant with my first kid #EconSky

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that 122,700 people age 13+ call Texas home. A new bill would make it a felony to identify their gender differently from their sex assigned at birth on official government documents or with employers. bit.ly/TranspeopleUS

Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail
The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.

The Federal Reserve is not as independent from the executive branch as we’d like to think. The NY Fed just cancelled this Thursday’s @aeacswep.bsky.social reception at #EEA2025 and withdrew from our summer fellowship program. Both support women and underrepresented groups in economics. #EconSky
