@M_De_Nardi Thanks a lot, Mariacristina! We do have a Twitter thread about it, see here x.com/RunlingWu/stat…

Looks interesting! How about a Twitter thread about ìt?

@dix_rafael @DukeEcon Thanks Rafael for your kind words!!😁

Check out this paper by @RunlingWu, one of the most talented students I have had the pleasure of working with so far at @DukeEcon. 👇

(13/13) The same question applies to racial and gender wage gaps. More results are in the paper. Feedback very welcome!

(12/13) Our framework opens several avenues. One natural application: decomposing the college wage premium over the life cycle. Does it grow because graduates accumulate human capital faster, work at firms offering steeper returns, or sort into better employers?

From @microsamonomics, @annastansbury, & @ALPWillen: In Norway, the average effect of unions is to sharply reduce employment & production (consistent with a competitive labor market model). Even in the cases where unions combat monopsony, consumers pay for it, not shareholders🧵

🔨How do workers build human capital on the job? We show that internal learning (from coworkers) dominates early in the career, while external training (from outside the firm) takes over mid-career. This shapes lifecycle wage+ productivity gains, and the impacts of remote work
