Teacher bias or unobserved ability? @ssreditorial.bsky.social paper w/ @marespadafor.bsky.social Test score error & omitted behavior = 🐘 in the (class)room to identify SES discrimination.

Crucially, it is non-university-educated women who delay first motherhood when born in wealthier provinces, narrowing the gap with their university counterparts (who behave much more uniformly across the country).

The educational gradient in the timing of fertility is strongly negatively correlated with the GPD per capita💰: the richer the province, the smaller the gradient in age at first birth.

There is a clear geographical pattern in the educational gradient in the timing of first motherhood.

It is weaker in the North and Northeast of the country (plus Madrid), and stronger in the Northwest.

The correlation across provinces in the size of the educational gradient in occurrence and timing of first birth is weak.

One cannot be inferred from the other!❌

Census data plus mixture cure models show notable spatial variation in the educational gradient in first motherhood🤰

University-educated women are less likely to become mothers and do so later in life in all provinces, but the gap with non-university-educated women varies widely across Spain🗺️

In many journals associate editors play an important role in the review process but their names don’t appear in communications with authors. At Europ Soc Rev, when we reject a paper the letter is signed by both EiC and AE. In others only the EiC signs. Having the AE in the letter adds transparency

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
