Markets and Mobility: How Employers Structure Economic Opportunity

Intergenerational mobility, measuring the ability to achieve economic success regardless of family background, is a critical reflection of a society’s commitment to equality of opportunity. Rising income inequality has raised concerns about the potential erosion of upward mobility. While education has traditionally been viewed as the path to mobility, its transformative power is facing challenges in a rapidly evolving job market. This project reorients the focus of intergenerational mobility research by highlighting the labor market as an arena for the reproduction of advantage. It employs a comparative approach, using administrative data from four countries: Sweden, Austria, England, and the United States. It also incorporates evidence from a broader set of nations through cross-national surveys, longitudinal household surveys, labor force surveys, secondary data, and digital trace data. The project employs cutting-edge empirical methods, including quasi- experimental designs, event studies, within-family comparisons, decomposition analyses, counterfactual simulations, and diagnostic checks to rigorously assess the extent of inequalities in the labor market. The research investigates how family background influences the sorting of individuals to employers and workplaces, accounting for education and occupation, and explores variations in career progression within and between employers. It comprehensively catalogues and assesses mechanisms shaping workplace inequality, contributing to the development of social closure theory. Additionally, the project evaluates intervention strategies, encompassing both employer practices and government actions, to promote fair opportunity in the labor market.

New #openaccess study We made >16,000 visa appointment requests at German embassies and consulates worldwide Key finding: The poorer the country, the longer the wait time and the lower the chance to get an appointment. "A time panelty for the Global South?" shorturl.at/ZiAFb

Visas are a key tool for states to regulate incoming mobility from abroad, which can have ramifications for the
establishment and perpetuation of global inequalities. In this article, we systematically analyze visa appointment
wait times in German embassies and consulates worldwide. Using computational methods, we collect—and
publish—fine-grained longitudinal data on the closest available appointment dates for various visa types,
covering a total of 16,182 visa appointment requests. Our analysis reveals strong and systematic variance: the
poorer the country a diplomatic mission is based in, the longer the wait time and the lower the chances of finding
an available appointment (which ranges from almost 0 to 100 percent). We also argue that Germany’s system is
quite opaque compared to other established immigration countries such as the U.S. These core findings raise
important questions in light of current debates about global justice, legal pathways to migration, and efforts to
attract foreign talent.

Graph that shows that 44.1 percent of requests did not lead to an appointment that could be selected. For the 55.9 percent where an appointment was available the distribution of wait times follows a steep curve with short wait times in many cases and a long tail of few cases with very long wait times of up to 98 days.

The average wait times and chances to find an appointment varied a lot between Germany's diplomatic missions. The latter range from almost 0 to 100 percent.

This variance is not random. Rather, economic wellbeing (GDP per capita) is a key predictor of wait times and chances of finding an appointment. The poorer the country a German embassy/consulate is based in, the longer the wait time and the lower the chances of finding an appointment.

Gambetta & Origgi on the LL Game, in which agents prefer to deliver and receive (!) low quality. This paper is absolutely savage but also feels uncomfortably relevant to parts of academia outside of Italy 👀 diegogambetta.org/wp-content/u...

Abstract
We investigate a phenomenon which we have experienced as common when dealing
with an assortment of Italian public and private institutions: people promise to exchange
high-quality goods and services, but then something goes wrong and the quality delivered
is lower than had been promised. While this is perceived as ‘cheating’ by outsiders,
insiders seem not only to adapt to, but to rely on this outcome. They do not resent
low-quality exchanges; in fact, they seem to resent high-quality ones, and are inclined
to put pressure on or avoid dealing with agents who deliver high quality. The equilibrium
among low-quality producers relies on an unusual preference ranking which differs from
that associated with the Prisoners’ Dilemma and similar games, whereby self-interested
rational agents prefer to dish out low quality in exchange for high quality. While equally
‘lazy’, agents in our low-quality worlds are oddly ‘pro-social’: for the advantage of
maximizing their raw self-interest, they prefer to receive low-quality goods and services,
provided that they too can in exchange deliver low quality without embarrassment. They
develop a set of oblique social norms to sustain their preferred equilibrium when threatened by the intrusion of high quality. We argue that high-quality collective outcomes are
endangered not only by self-interested individual defectors, but by ‘cartels’ of mutually
satisfied mediocrities.
