#SocArXiv: Who Climbs the Ivory Tower? Social origins of academic faculty in an egalitarian welfare state osf.io/c4xqz/

Collaboration with A. Fasang, Aleksi Karhula (@aleksikarhula.bsky.social), zafer buyukkececi, and S.B. Andrade.

Let's hear it for Max Thaning, Carina Mood and Adam Altmejd who have have been awarded research grants from Forte to study inequality, discrimination and young people's future prospects in Sweden! #Research #Grants #SocialResearch Stockholm University #SOFI

I am honored and happy to receive the Forte Starting Grant for my project on Origins and Opportunities. I will now spend the coming years working on how (childhood) income inequality is related to educational opportunities and mobility.

This will be fun :).

New at Nature Human Behaviour w/ Esping-Andersen, Pintro-Schmitt & Peter Fallesen: The intergenerational persistence of poverty (the link between poverty in childhood vs. adulthood) is 4x stronger in the US than in Denmark and 2x stronger than in UK/AUS. Why? nature.com/articles/s4156…

📢New paper in #OpenAccess! How does the birth lottery shape your life? Per Engzell and @HallstenMartin get into the weeds about what sibling comparisons reveal – and what they don't! Read the full article ungated at: doi.org/10.1093/esr/jc…

What happens to political attitudes when entire occupations disappear? SOFI's Orsa Kekezi is contributing to a new Forte -funded project led by Johannes Lindvall (Göteborgs universitet / University of Gothenburg). The study explores how the disappearance of entire professions affects political attitudes.

We are very pleased to share that our researcher Max Thaning from Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) has been awarded a generous research grant that will see him taking forward learnings and perspectives from the rEUsilience project through his future work. 👇👇 reusilience.eu/project-update…

Curious about how peoples’ social ties to different class positions shape their attitudes to income inequality, and how this varies by country and institutional context? 📢Check out the new #OpenAccess study by Arvid Lindh & @antonbandersson at: doi.org/10.1093/esr/jc…

Excited to share our new study in ESR: Anton B Andersson and I analyze how social networks contribute to class divides in attitudes to economic inequality, expanding on our previous work on Sweden with a country-comparative perspective using the International Social Survey Programme ISSP.

Just don't! So much of my econometrics class is spent un-doing common misconceptions like this. Normality of errors is not needed Heteroskedasticity is not a problem for bias Multicollenearity is not a problem for bias

Congrats to SOFI's Max Thaning on his new Forte -funded project exploring income inequality and kids’ education! su.se/swedish-instit…
