Really very happy to attend the NBER SI, and for our paper on the role of firms in explaining the gender wage gap - with harmonized data from 11 countries - to be included in the joint Gender & Labor session this morning!

Come say hi and enjoy @marcogpalladino.bsky.social's presentation!

Such a cool paper!

When I think about interruption at work (and mental load on which we know even less), this is my first reference!

🚨🚨 Does labor market discrimination drive economic gaps? Can market competition eliminate discrimination like economic theory suggests? What *kind* of discrimination are we talking about. In a new paper, Alex Willen & I explore the question. #Econsky

A large gender gap persists in STEM disciplines across the world that is bad for innovation, talent attraction & against fairness principles.

Why is there a gender gap in management promotions? Is it due to families’ or firms’ decisions? In a new paper with Frederik Almar, Ben Friedrich, Ana Reynoso and Rune Vejlin, we show that the interaction between families' and firms' career investments is key!

Babies are small.

Macroeconomies are big.

Put 'em together and you get an absolutely fascinating paper from Claudia Goldin.

TLDR: Economic growth that outpaces social growth can dramatically lower fertility rates.
