French firms tend to specialize in certain types of inequalities. Firms in the finance sector have a larger gender gap but a smaller migrant gap. In contrast, firms in the retail, accommodation, and social services sectors have smaller gender gaps but larger migrant gaps.

Using DADS admin data from France (1996-2021), we find that firms with higher gender gaps have lower migrant gaps, and vice versa. Firms with high gender gaps are also highly unequal within gender/migrant categories. In contrast, firms with high migrant gaps are firms are less unequal.

And the question is not easy to answer, either. Gender and migrant wage gaps are estimated using the same underlying variable: wages in the same establishments. There’s a big risk of capturing artifacts. Therefore, in the appendices, lots of equations we had a hard time solving…

– So?
– Well, we’re just asking a very simple question.
Are firms that are highly unequal in terms of gender also highly unequal in terms of migration origin?
It’s trivial once you know the answer… But before that, the answer is not easy to guess… Try!

– Hmm … INTERSECTIONALITY? This must be dangerously WOKE…
– Nope
– Oh ... “organizational intersectionality”? This must talk of the complexity of the lived experiences of those facing in organizations multiple prejudices at the intersection of many minorized dimensions.
– Not really either.

- the AJS Gould Prize on august 9th (www.journals.uchicago.edu/journals/ajs...)

Michel Callon passed away July 28th. Following Latour, he narrowed down the performativity of science program to a domain where it was reasonable: economics. He was also a generous and open-minded mentor to a whole generation of economic sociologists.

Je suis triste ce soir d’apprendre la mort de Michel Callon, que j’ai commencé à lire au mitan des années 1980, en même temps que son ami et co-auteur Bruno Latour. Quel choc ce fut, en 1986, de lire son article (devenu célèbre) sur les coquilles Saint-Jacques dans la baie de Saint-Brieuc…

As @oliviergodechot.bsky.social notes, in some ways this could be seen as an example of "big" science:
coauthors: 29
years it took: 9
countries: 12
pages (w/ appendices): 111
observations: 1,164,687,821

But it can be summarized in one 5-word sentence: Top earners increasingly work together. PERIOD.

Very pleased that our local projections dif-in-dif paper is now out in the Journal of Applied Econometrics. Joint with @dgirardi.bsky.social, Jorda, and Taylor.

It's a tool that we think many applied economists will find useful (indeed many already have).

IN OTHER NEWS: check out our new COIN paper on immigrant--native pay gaps in advanced economies published in @nature.com this afternoon! Specifically, we study the relative contribution of within-job unequal pay vs between-job segregation to earnings disparities across immigrant generations. 1/9
Immigrant–native pay gap driven by lack of access to high-paying jobs - Nature
Data from nine European and North American countries reveal that the disparity in earnings between immigrants and natives is largely a result of segregation of immigrant workers into lower-paying jobs...

Why is environmentalism class divided?

My new paper in The British Journal of Sociology maps attitudes to green issues in the social space of economic and cultural capital. Spoiler: it’s not just about being rich.
