Congratulations, this is such a cool project!
🙌NEW PUBLICATION:
Have you ever wondered why many women in early history supported rightist parties that often suppressed women's political rights?
@jeppjournal.bsky.social
In this paper, I offer a supply-side explanation, focusing on political parties' positions on gender policies, 1900-1975.
It was great fun to present and debate the results with alumni from the institute!
‼️Our department is looking for a 4-year postdoc: ideally someone interested in economic sociology experienced with quantitive methods.

Reproducing growth? Yesterday, I presented my first findings on growth models, social reproduction, and family policies in the Doctoral Colloquium at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies @mpifg.bsky.social.
In our @schechtlm.bsky.social SER article we show that daughters are less likely than sons to receive parental transfers, values tend to be lower & daughters receive different types of asset. This translates into a gender tax gap of 2% for inheritances and 22% for gifts.

I would like to be added!
Great initative, Palma!
