Cool new paper in JOLE arguing that there is no 'best' age for measuring parental resources when examining social mobility. It depends on which outcomes and which parental resources. #sociology #econsky

In a 2nd paper @jlaborecon.bsky.social, Jason Sockin & I leveraged @glassdoor.bsky.social data to learn about supply & demand for info about employers. Main idea: positive info flows freely but negative info flows with a retaliation risk to supplying worker www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....

What’s the Inside Scoop? Challenges in the Supply and Demand for Information on Employers
Jason Sockin  and Aaron Sojourner

Workers struggle to understand prospective employers. Through experienced workers’ volunteered reviews, Glassdoor is a platform seeking to provide information about prospective employers to job seekers. We find that the content most valuable to job seekers (negative information) is the kind most risky to supply, pointing to a catch-22. Higher ratings increase job applications to smaller firms only, creating an incentive for them to discourage negative reviews. Concerns about employer retaliation discourage negative reviews and motivate employees who do disclose to conceal aspects of their identity, degrading the information’s value. Reputation institutions provide valuable but partial solutions to workers’ information problems.

Important new paper "Does Job Search Assistance Reduce Unemployment? Evidence on Displacement Effects and Mechanisms" by Maria Cheung, Johan Egebark, Anders Forslund, Lisa Laun, Magnus Rödin, and Johan Vikström in @jlaborecon.bsky.social www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.... #EconSky
Using a two-level randomized experiment, we find that job search assistance (JSA) reduces unemployment among the treated but also creates displacement effects. Analyses of mechanisms show that vacancy referrals from caseworkers to job seekers explain the positive effects for the treated by helping the job seekers apply to the most relevant jobs earlier. We also find that the overall assessment of JSA hinges on how the displacement effects hit the labor market and to what extent firms react by opening new vacancies. The displacement is larger in weak labor markets, and we find no displacement of resources.
