Davide Cantoni (@econmunich.bsky.social) presented “Identity and Institutional Change: Evidence from First Names in Germany, 1700–1850."
With Matthias Weigand & Cathrin Mohr, he shows that the 1789-1815 collapse of hegemonic powers shifted local identities from ruler-aligned to religious & national.

Despite German pay transparency laws, many workers remain in their jobs unless an outside offer is markedly higher, citing personal ties, reluctance to change, and location as key reasons.

Chart showing the reasons why workers do not switch firms. Reluctance to change, location, and personal ties are the three most important reasons cited.

Workers often remain in their jobs even when they know they may get higher wages elsewhere, raising questions about the effectiveness of pay transparency laws. This column draws on a large German survey to examine how information frictions shape labour market outcomes. The findings suggest that workers are better informed than many policymakers assume, but prefer to stay unless an outside offer is markedly higher, citing personal ties, reluctance to change, and location as key reasons. Women are less likely than men to ask for salaries at the upper end even when presented with identical pay ranges. Information transparency alone may not lift wages or close gender gaps – measures that make firm transitions easier may be needed.

Im aktuellen F.A.Z. Podcast spreche ich mit dem Wirtschaftskorrespondenten Dietrich Creutzburg über den Mythos der sinkenden Renten, die Versäumnisse der Boomer-Generation und warum Gutverdiener dringend länger arbeiten sollten.

Ökonomische Auswirkungen des Zoll-Deals sind für 🇩🇪 überschaubar. Wachstum könnte um 0,2 bis 0,3 % niedriger ausfallen als ohne diese Zölle. Wie gut die Unternehmen damit zurechtkommen werden, wird davon abhängen, ob & wie schnell es ihnen gelingt, ihre Produktivität zu steigern.
