There is something very special about experiencing collective grief. It really can shape a generation.

Like the death of Artax in the Neverending Story.

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).

Do it! Grill as hot as possible. Rotate at 2.5 min, one pizza every 5 minutes.

Juan Moreno-Cruz @jmorenocruz.bsky.social · Aug 22

Not spinach, pesto! But yes to all others. Really good.

Juan Moreno-Cruz @jmorenocruz.bsky.social · Aug 22

I’ve already grilled 20 more of these! Pizza so good.
