🚨New paper in the Spanish Journal of Sociological Research (REIS).
We analyse how class inequalities in youth emancipation in Spain have changed over the last 50 years.
The main finding: the class gradient has been reversed.

Tak ❤️ Jeps til hverdag i Emdrup - så ungerne kan blive boende her i Ørestad. Kom forbi og sig hej hvis du er derude!
Gender of children and their own reading. I have some of the same data for parents reading investments as well.
There it actually looks like (child) gender differences are smaller than in children’s own reading (that part didn’t make it into the paper). I’d love to hear more about your project!
That is so nice of you!
I actually have a paper coming out shortly (a week or two maybe) about gendered vacation gaps in reading that I hope you might find interesting.
The job market is harsh and healthy communities are paramount
I am lucky to have such a loving and supportive one ❤️🩹 So, to all who gave me space to panic (once more), picked me up when I was low (literally, a couple of times) and held my hand to keep me moving: Thank you. I hope to repay the favor🙏
I think it is problematic that the years when many are building families and raising young children are so insecure. We lose great researchers who can’t or won’t deal with that.
I have been privileged to stay in one place - I did not want to uproot my children. Not everyone is that fortunate.
I am also beyond grateful for the stability of permanent employment
Most who have been around me the last years know that I have struggled with the uncertainty of this career. Like most young researchers I know, I have wasted a lot of time thinking maybe I was not cut out to do research. But I am.
I am incredibly excited that May 1st I will be Associate Professor of Educational Sociology at The Danish School of Education, Aarhus University 🤩
I am so happy to get to work with amazing new colleagues and students. I could think of no better home for my research on reading and stratification 📚
While most people prefer equal inheritance, wealthy individuals are more willing to support unequal transfers when they help preserve wealth across generations ➡️ based on new experimental evidence now published with @natrinh.bsky.social and @dariatisch.bsky.social in @sfjournal.bsky.social
I’d love it if it’s just love for geometry!
Probably! But six books in I still don’t understand the title. They are beautiful though.
New research on postpartum depression as a mechanism of the motherhood penalty (i.e., mothers' reduced lifetime earnings) in Denmark
"The penalties are concentrated among less educated mothers and those in less family-friendly jobs."

🧵 New WP with @kaimiele.bsky.social. We document 2 unsettling patterns in mental health care: 1) despite universal coverage, few individuals with mental illness receive guideline-consistent treatment, and 2) the more severe the illness, the lower the treatment uptake & the longer the wait times. 1/n
🧵 New version of our paper (@bcegerod.bsky.social) is finally online: "How Many is Enough? Sample Size in Staggered Difference-in-Differences Designs"
We show that even well-identified DiD studies are often underpowered; sample sizes needed are surprisingly large

Do ordinary Republicans and Democrats really avoid each other in everyday life? In a new working paper with Delia Baldassarri, we present descriptive and experimental evidence to challenge the view that partisanship drives the formation of social relationships.

PS. Happy New Year! 🥂
Last week, our new paper on indirect assortative mating was published.🍾 Let’s take a closer look at what this means, why it matters, and what we found (🧵/32):

Experimental evidence that students are more likely to contest grades when they are delivered by an evaluator with a female-sounding name.
"These findings suggest that women in evaluative positions face disproportionate resistance when delivering negative assessments."
New paper out with @kchihaya.bsky.social and @eduardotapia.bsky.social. We show how a tendency to move near kin can preserve patterns of segregation, using a combination of discrete choice models and micro-simulations applied to the case of immigrants and their descendants living in Stockholm.
People are willing to forgo a significant portion of their earnings—between 12-36% of their wages—to avoid hostile work environments.
Women exhibit a stronger aversion to exclusionary workplaces and environments with sexual harassment.

When people see an ethnic minority-sounding name, do they infer race, religion, gender, or social background?
