- Reposted by Barbara BoelmannWe just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving." Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.
- Our new paper shows that men benefit from couples' long-distance joint moves more than women do, in both Germany and Sweden. Is this just b/c men are usually the main breadwinner? No, it's hard to explain the patterns we see w/o a gender norm prioritizing men's careers. www.nber.org/papers/w32970

- Reposted by Barbara BoelmannDie Sabotage des Ausbaus erneuerbarer Energien und der Elektromobilität in 🇩🇪 & 🇪🇺 durch die Merz-Regierung ist eine gigantische strategische Fehlkalkulation. Sie macht Deutschland weniger autonom gegenüber 🇷🇺🇺🇸🇨🇳, verwandelt Deutschland in ein Industriemuseum und ist zugleich klimapolitischer Irrsinn.
