Very happy to have this paper on a promising sexual harassment intervention published! For those interested in a non-technical summary, we have also written a policy brief based on the paper. freepolicybriefs.org/2026/05/25/c...

Combating Tolerance for Sexual Harassment With Information: Evidence From a Field Experiment

New research shows how correcting sexual harassment misperceptions can reduce tolerance for harassment and improve workplace culture.

I just wrote a policy brief summarizing our research on how sexual harassment affects gender inequality in the labor market. We argue that discrimination in work conditions, such as sexual harassment, is a key reason why women work in workplaces and occupations with lower pay.

🧵 Prior work studied the effect of (refugee) migration on far-right voting, but local inflows can only explain a sliver of the increase in FR voting around refugee waves. In my new WP, find that increased EXPECTATIONS about future migration causally increased FR voting in the Netherlands!

Why are workers underrepresented in Swedish politics—despite being half the electorate? In a new SNS Analys report, SITE’s Olle Folke and co-author Johanna Rickne find that structural barriers—not lack of ambition—keep workers from power. ➡️ Read the report (in Swe): www.sns.se/artiklar/sns...

I really recommend this podcast episode on the story of this paper and the strange non-responses from the journal. A depressing case of how science fails to be self-correcting even in the face of extremely obvious errors. open.spotify.com/episode/4Eo0...

Update #2, RETRACTED: 15 months after we (w @ollefolke.bsky.social and @johannarickne.bsky.social ) submitted the initial comment to the Journal, we've noticed the paper was ultimately retracted. Retraction note here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Update: We submitted the comment to the Journal of Population Economics, and today we got a desk reject with this motivation. However, we do not know their conclusion about the main results and why the paper was not retracted. Clearly, they do not hold. 1/4

After one year of waiting, we finally got a response from the Journal of Population Economics about our replication of "Banning the purchase of sex increases cases of rape: evidence from Sweden", confirming the major coding error that invalidates the main results, but not retracting the paper. 1/2

A re-analysis of Ciacci's (2024) "Banning the purchase of sex increases cases of rape: Evidence from Sweden" Journal of Population Economics reveals major issues. A year ago, reproducers Adema, Folke, and Rickne found coding errors driving the paper's key results. Let's unpack this in a 🧵

Do women earn less than men because they are less competitive? This awesome paper by @ErnestoReuben, Paola Sapienza, and @zingales shows that once we measure earnings some years after graduation, competitiveness does not explain the gender gap (or predict earnings) 🧵 1/7

"Women spend so much more energy being nice to people in the workplace! When will they ever get credit for that?!” This audience question is common in our public talks about research on gender equality in the labor market. Our new paper gives striking evidence on this point. 1/7
