1/4 This was a lot of fun to write and now to see published! We digitised information on German collective bargaining negotiations (CBNs) - both initial trade union demands and final outcomes - going back to the early 1990s. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

We just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving." Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.

Event study coefficients that show that men's earnings rise more than women's among couples following a cross-commuting zone move (left panels). The pattern is muted or reverses among single men and single women (right panels).

The world's top network of labor economists—@iza.org—will close permanently at the end of this year. What a loss to research. Especially now when the rising waters of disinformation choke truth. It is up to us, now, to begin the work to rebuild. www.deutsche-post-stiftung.org/media/202502...

Twinkle, twinkle, little Starlink: my Trade Secrets today. Countries are scrambling to set up their own satellite systems rather than depend on geopolitical foes. It's all part of the politicisation of the plumbing of the world economy.
