Men across classes see such labor market transformations as indicative of costly cultural upheaval. Working-class women, while more economically autonomous, see the new arrangement as a rotten deal—working more but often earning less than what their husbands once did.

📈 In the U.S. case, we find that college/non-college-educated men and non-college educated women are more likely to vote GOP following layoffs of non-college-educated men. Crucially, that effect is most apparent where such layoffs coincide with growth in women's place in local workforces.

We argue that layoffs of working-class men—amid growth in women's paid labor—give rise to "nostalgic" coalitions of men and women that seek to revive male-dominated industries and restore male-breadwinner family models. These coalitions bolster the electoral fortunes of right-wing parties.

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

3. How can governments compensate for lost expertise? Outsource! With rich procurement data, we show that private sector demand is a strong predictor of EPA demand for (environmental) consulting services. We illustrate a "de facto privatization" of climate governance.

Empirically, we demonstrate three things: 1. With admin data on the U.S. federal bureaucracy, we show that private sector demand is associated with relative declines in the average education/experience of climate bureaucrats. This seems to owe to difficulty recruiting more so than failed retention.

2. Using survey data from ~1/3 of the fed bureaucracy, we show that greater private sector demand is associated with stronger pro-social attitudes among EPA bureaucrats. This suggests an "ideological screening" effect of private sector competition.

Using data on the near universe of U.S. online job postings, we document two stark trends: 1. Private sector demand for skilled climate experts is way up over the last few years. 2. The private sector wage premium for climate experts has rapidly grown.

We model a climate expert's choice between public and private employment. Tldr; when firms' wage offers improve, the best experts are more likely to go private as budget-constrained gov agencies can't match. Corporate demand also increases the average pro-sociality of those who remain in government.

Super excited to see my article with @noahzucker.bsky.social online at the AJPS! The paper shows how bureaucrats can reorient IOs to tackle climate change even when powerful member states are hesitant to do so themselves. We focus on the IMF's attention to climate in surveillance docs.
