jung-naiv.podigee.io#859 - Ungleichheitsforscherin Miriam Rehm (Professorin für Sozioökonomie, Uni Duisburg-Essen)

Es war sehr aufregend (und anstrengend 😉) bei @tilojung.bsky.social zu Gast zu sein! Wir haben viel besprochen - neben Vermögensverteilung plurale Ökonomie, sozialer Wohnbau, Vermögenssanktionen statt Aufrüstung und den Master Sozioökonomie am @ifso.bsky.social jung-naiv.podigee.io/1186-859-ung...

Ich freue mich, wenn ihr hineinschaut - es müssen ja nicht die vollen 3,5 Stunden sein. Über 60k Klicks auf Youtube sind unglaublich und das Feedback überwältigend positiv, das hätte ich nicht zu hoffen gewagt. Aber ich kann sicher noch viel lernen - ich freue mich über konstruktive Kritik 🌿

Heute um 14 Uhr bin ich live bei @tilojung.bsky.social in Jung&Naiv. Ich freue mich sehr und bin schon ziemlich aufgeregt! Und ich bin neugierig, wohin uns das Gespräch leiten wird. Ich denke, Vermögensungleichheit und Ökologie werden eine große Rolle spielen.

Tilo Jung@tilojung.bsky.social

Nicht verpassen: Am morgigen Freitag ist Ungleichheitsforscherin @miriamrehm.bsky.social (Uni Duisburg) zu Gast bei Jung & Naiv. Wir sprechen, glaub ich, über unsere machtlosen Milliardäre und keine Probleme für unsere Demokratie. Oh, wait... Ab 14 Uhr LIVE www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjSv...

Day 2 of the FMM Summer School: Mark Setterfield discussed “Distribution and Growth”, introducing different Post-Keynesian approaches. Then, @miriamrehm.bsky.social explored the links between inequality and ecology, drawing on a wide range of empirical evidence. Now it's time for the study groups.

The 10th FMM Summer School is starting! We’re looking forward to a week of discussions, learning and exchange on Keynesian Macroeconomics and European Economic Policies. @bauermann-tom.bsky.social is opening the Summer School with a welcome address. Great to have everyone here in Berlin!

In Austria, we say „wenn‘s laaft, dann laaft’s” – when it rains, it pours, but in a good way 😉 Another paper is out, this time in Ecological Economics with two of our amazing MA students at @ifso.bsky.social, Marla Feldwisch and Bruno Brinkmeier, on “Private wealth ownership and emissions”. 1/

Of course, these results are not definite since the field is in its infancy and we had to make a number of simplifying assumptions. However, they are based on survey data (SOEP) and thus most likely even underestimate the wealth share held by the rich. 5/

In our view, these results make the argument for holding the wealthiest more responsible for reducing emissions. There are many ways of doing so (and many intelligent minds have thought about this), but this is for another paper 😊 /end

Incredibly, emissions from wealth are even more concentrated than wealth itself, which is already extremely unequally distributed. The top 10% are responsible for 66% of emissions while they hold 62% of wealth. In levels, I find the picture astounding: 3/

If we permit emissions intensity to vary by sector, then they show a broad band, but random portfolio allocation using bootstrapping finds a share of the top 10% in emissions of 66.5%:This bolsters our confidence in the findings. 4/

I’m very excited that my paper with Stefan Ederer "On the possibility of an ever-increasing wealth concentration: Pasinetti, dual, and anti-dual equilibria in a Post-Keynesian framework" is out in the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics! 🥳 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

However, both corner solutions are possible, if unplausible, outcomes of our model: the euthanasia of the rentier (Samuelson and Modigliani 1966) and the triumph of the rentier (Darity 1981).

I like many things about this paper. (How often will I find time to work on modelling papers?) But what I probably enjoy most is that it contributes, however little, to the historical debates that took place between Post-Keynesians and Neoclassicals in journals such as AER, QJE, and REStud.

We show that a stable interior solution – a so-called Pasinetti equilibrium after the brilliant Post-Keynesian Luigi Pasinetti and my late professor at the New School, Lance Taylor – is the most likely outcome in a stock-flow consistent Post-Keynesian model with endogenous wealth accumulation

The wealth share of capitalists and the profit share rise, capacity utilization falls, and the growth rate is essentially stable:

This is a paper that had a longer journey until it saw the light of day. Mostly I end up loathing those (and some I leave to perish in peace), but a few grow dearer over time, and this one is such a case 🥰

isi-munich.deISI Events – Bites of Inequality – Miriam RehmHow can gender-specific wealth inequality be investigated in the context of macroeconomic dynamics and the socio-economic transformation?

29 June

I'm looking forward to presenting tomorrow around noon at @fabianpfeffer.bsky.social's Bites of Inequality ISI event at @lmu.de. We'll discuss gendered wealth inequality, linking it to macroeconomic dynamics and the socio-ecological transition www.isi-munich.de/en/events/bi...

It's a lot of content, I know. Beforehand, I will be meeting with (some of) the many promising young researchers at ISI. What an exciting day!

So happy that our paper with Pia Molitor and Mara Rebaudo "Uncovering the choreography of life: the impact of life transitions on gendered housework patterns" is out in the Scandinavian Journal of Economics! This work is part of Pia's brilliant diss project onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

💔🤯 Divorce partly reverses these patterns: men’s housework increases and women’s decreases.

Interpretations are of course up to debate, but my personal view is that social norms around housework division are alive and kicking. Remember: we are not looking at child care, but at routine chores like cooking, cleaning etc. that many may perceive as tedious on a daily basis.

📦😒 Moving in together is associated with a clear and persistent increase in women’s routine housework, while the increase for men is only short-lived.

👶😒 The largest shift occurs after the first child: women’s routine housework rises sharply, while men’s declines.

We show how routine housework (e.g. cooking, cleaning, shopping) changes for women and men around four life events in Germany: moving in together, marriage, first birth, and divorce. Using SOEP data and event-study methods, we find that:

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
