High mobility and low income inequality might not reduce learning gaps between rich and poor students: this week's study finds that these gaps persist in Nordic countries, equaling those in other European countries despite egalitarian welfare systems. 📖 Read the Paper Now:…
Really happy to be presenting our work on "The How and Why of Household Reactions to Income Shocks" at the @nberpubs Micro to Macro data sessions tomorrow nber.org/conferences/si…. Also livestreamed! The full paper is here: socialeconomicslab.org/research/worki…
Ever wondered how to measure consumer welfare when consumers are forward‑looking & the future is uncertain? 🤔In this NBER SI video, we use revealed‑preference sufficient statistics to estimate dynamic welfare—without forecasting the future.
Very excited that our paper (joint with Jarkko Harju and @Schoefer_B) on "Voice at Work" is published in the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics. We study what happened when workers in Finnish firms got a right to worker voice on the corporate board. @AEAjournals 👇
In the latest episode of The Inequality Podcast, @sndurlauf & @fabianpfeffer discuss variation in wealth inequality and why income gaps don’t tell the whole story. They explore how this inequality shapes individuals through education, housing, and risk assessments. Listen:…

Can we estimate intergenerational income mobility without assuming a functional form? Yes! Fully nonparametric methods capture more factors & dynamics. Using PSID data, researchers show that race and parental education deeply shape how parental income affects children's economic…
I am really happy about this paper. Through the process of writing it, we learned something fundamental about the workhorse model of labor market frictions - not just discovering normative properties (which, of course, is important), but also finding out how to analyze them.
On-the-job search leads to overvaluation of jobs, especially at the top of the job ladder, resulting in excess vacancy creation in the canonical search and matching model, from Masao Fukui and @ToshiMukoyama nber.org/papers/w33910
