📢 Join the RNIM Seminar on May 23 to learn about Dr. Forhad Shilpi's latest research on Intergenerational Mobility.

Title: Opportunity and Risk

Time: 10 AM EST || 4 PM CET || 10 PM China

Registration: 👉 sites.google.com/view/rnim-se...

Abstract:👇

The standard measures of intergenerational mobility do not account for risk. We develop a broader approach where conditional variance of children's outcome is a summary statistic for life-time risks. Conditional variance of children's schooling declines with father's education. We derive risk-adjusted measures of educational mobility by accounting for the risk premium implied by conditional variance. Estimates of risk-adjusted mobility in China, India, and Indonesia suggest that the standard measures overestimate relative and absolute educational mobility. The overestimation is substantial for the disadvantaged children and daughters, but negligible for the children of college-educated fathers.

These insights pave the way for broader and more credible research on intergenerational mobility, empowering social scientists to utilize existing rich data effectively. 🌟

🔑 Key findings: 👀
- Sibling Correlation has significantly lower coresidence bias compared to IGRC and IGC.
- Lower bias is evident particularly among younger cohorts and smaller family sizes.
- Sibling Correlation estimates preserve accurate cross-country rankings 90-95% of the time.

Motivation: Intergenerational mobility research often struggles with coresidence bias, especially in developing countries, limiting the use of many valuable datasets. 😵 Our study tackles this challenge head-on using exceptional datasets from Bangladesh, Chile, Ghana, India, Indonesia, and Mexico.

Reminder that ipums.org has all the acs, census, CPS, NHIS, MEPS, and so much more. Bonus that it’s cleaned and harmonized in ways that make these data really easy to use in practice.

Very hard to imagine any social science that would not be flagged by NSF's new censorship regime

Ridiculous. Many of those words— perhaps most— are used in lots of ways irrelevant to DEI.
“Biased “ used in comp neuro to mean a parameter that affects choices unequally.
“Diversity” used to describe ecosystems, etc.

I know, the cruelty and tedium is the point

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Happy to share that my and @cconlon.bsky.social's micro BLP paper was just accepted at the Journal of Econometrics! jeffgortmaker.com/files/Incorp...

It's our 2nd tied to our PyBLP software, so here's a thread on surprising (to me) benefits of combining methods research with open source work. 1/6
