New piece by our @monicabeeder.bsky.social in @uk.theconversation.com. How safety concerns shape working women’s everyday choices in Ethiopia, including why some adapt how they present their ethnic identity when entering employment. Link: tinyurl.com/37aedb2p #Ethiopia #Gender #Work #econsky

New article in @uk.theconversation.com When Ethiopian women enter formal factory jobs, some also change how they report their ethnic identity — a strategic response to new risks in public space. Evidence from a randomised job-offer experiment 👇

This gem is hidden in the response to the response. ”…within a few hours and under extreme time pressure 11,843 households were visited and 22,686 respondents interviewed (two spouses in each household).” Indeed hard to believe 🫠

We use both quantitative data analysis to find these patterns and qualitative interviews to better understand the mechanisms

Key finding: Women randomized to get a job are more likely to switch their self-reported ethnic identities, often for safety or instrumental reasons.

Exciting new working paper from @i4replication.bsky.social on assessing reproducibility with LLMs! I contributed as part of one of the AI-led teams—fascinating insights, but it’s clear we can’t let AI handle replication for us just yet. Worth a read! 🔍📄

Just re-upping this #econsky: I currently have more mentors than mentees/students (can probably match another 10-11 students from LMICs who would like feedback on a research paper from a senior scholar.) Fill out the form here if interested! forms.gle/ekvvoEKBLYQM...
