Today Lorenzo Incoronato (U. of Naples) presented “Hiring subsidies and female employment”.

With M. di Stefano (@cep-lse.bsky.social) and A. Raute (@qmul.bsky.social), he shows that subsidies boost hiring of non-employed women and, as firms learn from these hires, raise long-run hiring for women.

Today, Manuel Bagues (@warwickecon.bsky.social) presented “Friends in Childhood and the Gender Equality Paradox”, coauthored with N. Zinovyeva (Warwick).
They show that children in richer, more equal societies have fewer opposite-sex friends. Evidence suggests household income as the key driver.
