When oil prices spike, inequality rises. Recent research by @sorrytobekurt.bsky.social & co-authors shows oil shocks hurt low-income workers the most, lowering earnings growth & job prospects while high-income workers are largely unaffected. Read more: bit.ly/4rRXNHw

So, it turns out this paper @sorrytobekurt.bsky.social, Tobias Broer and I wrote, which was recently published in the IMF ER is somewhat topical this weekend: Oil shocks hurt workers at the bottom of the income distribution most; through lower employment, but also lower earnings for the employed.
