Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to - not publish - have outstanding publication records - introduce more novel scientific concepts - less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards. www.nber.org/papers/w33289

This is very interesting #EconJMP by @sahilchinoy.bsky.social. Democrats & Republicans will sacrifice ~3% salary ($2k/year) for ideologically aligned workplaces.

This paper is fascinating. A three-year field experiement in which a 1000 low income Americans get $1000 a month. The tl;dr conclusion is that it basically has zero effect on their political views or participation. www.nber.org/papers/w33214
