📢'The World Is Your Oyster' is for those who are born in global north countries--don't experience visa bureaucracy & emotional burden that non-white global south scholars do. Citizenship is a privilege that we need to recognize in the academe. 1/n

The mismatch on number of LGBTQ+ students and faculty is striking (at least at high research intensity universities in the USA).

Tomorrow at Università Bocconi: our discussion of the challenges (and opportunities) that an academic career abroad presents in a world where international scholar mobility becomes a requirement or even the only chance to secure an academic job, while barriers for foreigners persist:

📢New issue of #PAG20 is out📢 In 'Made for Men' Annika Hinze surveys female PhD students and faculty in 🇺🇸 Poli Sci departments about the institutional gender norms they encounter and argues for the importance of critical actors in changing those norms. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

This project joins the efforts to promote women-led research and targets female scholars in the sub-field of political economics.

Stay tuned for more news!

A long and thoughtful piece covering the ins and outs of the economics profession and EJMR.

One thing that I want to emphasize…

Why can't academics give up flying?

We identified cultural, individual, and organizational reasons academics think we can't decarbonize research production.

Especially relevant as more conferences & workshops return to offline-only formats.

Interesting presentation next Wednesday at Bocconi by Giulia Maimone! The authors find that scholars are less cited following a sexual misconduct accusation, but not following a scientitific fraud accusation.

Our new paper shows striking differences in success of econ job market candidates depending on gender and field (years 2018/19 and 2019/20): Women are faring better than men when they specialize in male fields. hub.cepr.org/discussion-pap…

In a new article in Scientific Reports I find that male PhD students are almost twice as likely than female PhD students to obtain a cum laude distinction for their dissertation. A cum laude is very rare, and only awarded to 5% of Dutch PhD students. 1/5

'Fully exonerated' keeps being repeated by Falk-related spokesmen.

I don't think that word means what they think it means.

Great coverage of the IZA issue in Bloomberg.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The open letter signed by more 400 IZA fellows and affiliates, addressed to the Deutsche Post Foundation in response to the decision taken last week is now public. I have co-signed this letter. If decision is not revised, all 436 Fellows will resign from IZA on 1 Jan 2024

'If your data contradicts the common wisdom: ignore your data.' It seems that Ross et al. followed this advice when they concluded in their recent nature article that women are credited less likely authorship in 'most scientific fields'. See our comment: osf.io/preprints/soca…

IZA For those just tuning in: Nora Szech accused Armin of sexual harassment last fall. There was a very weak “investigation” at briq (the institute he runs) and he was cleared. Nora committed suicide this fall. Armin was just promoted to lead a much more important organization.

Researchers are revolting against weekend conferences.
Parents want to keep conferences and meetings strictly to working hours.
We can and should do more to make academia better for working parents.
