De l'avantage d'être de noble lignage pour intégrer une (très) grande école en France (1891-1995) Encore un travail incroyable de @stephanebenveniste.com ! stephanebenveniste.com/wp-content/u...

Abstract:
This paper investigates the enduring overrepresentation of aristocratic families in
elite higher education. It analyses 269,917 graduates from ten leading French
grandes écoles between 1911 and 2015, using surname-based indicators of
nobility and a linkage to birth records. Despite a decline over time, descendants
of aristocrats remain nine times more likely to gain admission than the rest of the
population, even two centuries after the French Revolution. While historically
most concentrated at Sciences Po Paris, their presence has converged across
institutions, though business schools now exhibit the highest overrepresentation.
The analysis also reveals a gender gap, with noble men benefiting more from this
educational advantage. These findings highlight the persistence of historical
hierarchies beyond the end of legal privileges, as noble families convert symbolic
capital into academic credentials, ensuring continued access to elite status

The small % of foreign students who stayed in the US after earning master’s degrees made outsized contributions to the creation of new startups. Reducing enrolment barriers & increasing financial grants will aid #innovation. M Beine, G Peri, @morganraux.bsky.social cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Roughly 300,000 foreign-born students annually obtained visas to enrol in US graduate programmes over the last decade. This column finds that the small percentage of foreign students who remained in the US after earning master’s degrees made outsized contributions to the creation of new startups. As startups and new firms are engines of economic growth and technological innovation, the authors recommend reducing enrolment barriers while increasing access to financial grants and support for those who create local startups, and expanding policies that allow graduates to stay in the US after graduation.

How does digitalization reshape labor opportunities? We model occupations as multidimensional skill bundles, capturing its dual impact: shifts in demand and evolving skill distances. New IZA WP with A. Dupuy and @morganraux.bsky.social 👉 docs.iza.org/dp17535.pdf #EconResearch #FutureOfWork

Our latest research with Toman Barsbai and Christoph Winter is now forthcoming in JOLE! 📄 We explore how labor market conditions at arrival shape migrants’ integration, showing that arriving during recessions pushes migrants into lower-paying jobs—a persistent effect lasting over 10 years.

🔥🔥🔥Are you pissed about Armin Falk heading IZA? If yes, consider reading/sharing/signing this letter. To be clear I didn’t organize this letter, and I’m so pleased that instead of me it was more senior economists (some male) who stepped up to help with this effort. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me. Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.
