Have falling labor market barriers to women led to a change in selection of high-skilled women away from education, leading to a decline in the quality of teachers, and human capital production? See my co-author Kieran present our paper at NBER SI youtube.com/live/mQbLtpkXU…

Why do your coffee, rent, & grocery bills matter for central banks and governments? Because the choices households make—& the differences between them—shape how monetary and fiscal policies work. In his thesis, @BernardinoTiago dives into exactly this. 🧵 bit.ly/49iAQWV

Well, let’s put it this way. The paper spent the first 7 years of its childhood with Heckman. It could not have hoped for a better parent. It will surely become a classic in adulthood :-)) Congrats! 🎉

This week's story by @pilossopher 👇 "No one else can have your ectopic pregnancy. No one else can be hospitalized for your mastitis.[...]This is precisely why the tenure clock extension for childbearing exists." ..and why(part of) it should exist for childbearing, not parenting.

As you read this week’s story by @AnnaRogantiniPi, keep in mind that in most departments, non-birth parents get the *exact same* teaching reduction and tenure clock extension. And yes, bringing attention to this and, eventually, spurring change is one of @OneExtraYear's goals.

In the 1990s, Americans used to work much more than non-Americans. Nowadays, about half of the gap in hours worked has reversed. Our new paper studies cross-country differences in hours worked and what drives them. FT article citing our paper: tinyurl.com/cm6z3d7h 🧵
NBER@nberpubs

Americans used to work much more than non-Americans, but about half of this gap has reversed. US hours declined after 2000 mainly due to the rise of health benefits, from @SerdarBirinci9, Loukas Karabarbounis, and Kurt See nber.org/papers/w35020

This week’s story touches on an important issue: Our professional norms around frequent travel and work dinners were created in a time when the typical economist was a man with little childcare responsibilities. Do these norms still serve us well in this day and age?
