Very happy to share our forthcoming paper๐Ÿ™‚

Econometrica@ecmaeditors.bsky.social

A job ladder model with incomplete markets links wealth to job search over the life cycle. It provides a new microfoundation for all three inputs in F(K, AL) and offers novel insights into how redistributive policies affect aggregate output and welfare. @leokaas.bsky.social buff.ly/IqpiGoa

Great paper!

Forthcoming in the AER: "The Gender Pay Gap: Micro Sources and Macro Consequences" by Iacopo Morchio and Christian Moser.

aeaweb.orgThe Gender Pay Gap: Micro Sources and Macro Consequences(Forthcoming Article) - Using linked employer-employee data from Brazil, we document a significant gender pay gap, which is largely attributed to women working at lower-paying employers. To interpret this fact, we develop an equilibrium search model with endogenous firm pay, amenities, and hiring. We provide a constructive proof of identification of all model parameters. The estimated model suggests that amenities are important for both men and women, and that compensating differentials account for half of the gender pay gap. Equal-treatment policies partly close gender gaps but are not outputor welfare-improving.

Trump may well achieve his goal of reducing the US trade deficit, but via the worst possible way: engineering recession at home and removing Americaโ€™s and USDโ€™s status as trusted safe haven. It would be a poorer, hostile nation but with trade surplus. Sort of like Russia. Some win.

Austrian Socio-Economic Panel (ASEP) - Austria has started a long-term household panel survey like the GSOEP. The first wave of wave data is already available (here: aussda.at/en/news-deta...). A special feature of ASEP is that it is register(!!) based. This has two nice features, see below

aussda.atNew and exlusively available at AUSSDA: Austrian Socio-Economic Panel (ASEP) DataWe are pleased to announce that a new, Austria-wide survey programme is now available at AUSSDA.
